The best restaurants in Cork city council

29/10/2025: One of the best coffees in Cork. Quick and friendly service. Fiúntas pasties.

07/10/2025: What a lovely setup and really nice staff. And for once the green tea wasn’t a rip off as it is in most coffee houses. Recommended

22/10/2025: Pie Guys was such a delightful experience. They were closed at the English Market because they were sold out, so we wandered down to the Black Market, and I’m so glad we did. IT WAS CLASS. The buttery crust, the perfect mash, the filling, the amazing dill slaw. This was a must stop, making it a plan for tomorrow as well. You will not be disappointed.

18/10/2025: Having grown up with a mum who was a pastry chef and confectioner and has since passed, I’ve had the best of the best… but having seen these lads and the pies they create I said I’d have to try it and see does it stack up.. all I can say is YES… I was instantly transported back to my youth with the quality of the pastry.. and the filling, omg something to die for.. thank you for giving me a little taste of my youth after a bad week of missing my mum it really put a smile on my face!!! We will be back!

25/09/2025: Lovely coffee, very staff. Nice spot for a cup with a friend.

20/05/2026: I ordered their special Nepali Thali, which had excellent taste and impressive presentation.

09/05/2026: My first time trying Nepalese food, and let me tell you I was Not Disappointed At All!! The duck curry is literally to die for, definitely the Nicest one I have ever had, chicken tikka starters were absolutely amazing, and the garlic and coriander naan breads are just utterly mouthwatering!! The service was class, seated and seen to in very quick succession, and the staff were more than helpful, clearing empty plates and refilling water jugs very quickly and very attentive to detail! I am Definitely going again to try more of this Fabulous food 😍😍😍😍

08/06/2026: By far the best bar in Cork. Great selection of Irish whiskey, good food, and Danny the co-owner was a really nice guy. Food 5stars Danny got me hooked on Red Breast 12yr Irish Whiskey. 5stars

29/05/2026: I am pretty amazed to read that this Place only has 4.2 stars. I found it to be completely charming. My Irish Coffee was out of this world. The other clientele were extremely friendly. Highly recommended 🙏🏾

14/05/2026: The food is amazing! I truly loved my meal it was delicious. The staff were polite and helpful. It is a bit pricey though.

04/05/2026: Delicious food and very friendly staff

24/12/2025: Absolutely awful . Packet curry sauce . Quality of beef and chicken was so poor and covered in deep friend breadcrumbs . So disappointing

12/12/2025: The old manager has no manners & he is very mean . He should retire from hospitality… the food was ok

24/05/2026: Absolutely lovely place, food was amazing, everyone at the table loved every bite. Gorgeous desserts that I've definitely got to try next time. And such a cool place with the loveliest staff big shout out to our lovely waitress Bernie so welcoming and professional. We will be back!

18/05/2026: It was the best brunch i have ever had !!! You guys doing amazing job egg benedict with mushrooms and hollandise sauce!! You know you know!! Absolutely delicious 😋 thanks for the all service and staff!!

02/05/2026: Live music and a very good atmosphere.

01/05/2026: No longer an early morning bar like it was back in the day but still a decent spot to start in and there's an outdoor seating area across the road belonging to the bar

04/09/2025: So many savory options! Best Italian I have had since going vegan. Got there, given an hr wait, went nexdoor til she called us over earlier than expected, and she waited a little extra while we finished our pints. Kind service staff. Loved the fresh ingredients. My pesto ravioli with sweet potatoes was fantastic. The linguine were perfectly al dente and we could see them being made. Saved room for dessert, the strawberry hill was delicious. All so perfectly balanced, really. Try the appetizers! We got the socca farinata. My Omni bf and I (vegan) thought this was some of the best food we've had. Cozy, romantic, welcoming, & affordable, too.

31/08/2025: Love love love!!!! I'm dairy free and it was a delight.

18/09/2025: Had such a good night here, absolutely excellent wine and food, staff were so nice, knowledgeable and enthusiastic

25/08/2025: Small, but worth a visit place for glass (or bottle) of quality wine (and some food)..... recommended.

01/01/2026: Friendly local pub, Great pint of Beamish, a good age mix here, well worth a visit.

29/11/2025: Lovely bar...calm, quiet relaxing.

25/10/2025: Good climbing gym - not huge, but it's enough, with a good bit of variety.

27/09/2025: Friendly staff, lots of differnet way/ level to clim on the wall

31/03/2026: Just had a wonderful break at the Montenotte, room was very comfortable and everything needed was available. Breakfast in the panorama lounge was delicious with beautiful views of the city. Drinks in the night overlooking the lights of Cork is wonderful. Staff are very attentive and friendly. The short walk downhill is easy to access the city and it's a very short uphill taxi back. We'll certainly return

25/03/2026: Off busy narrow street, so have a good navigation so you don't miss the entry like we did, as it was a bear to get back here. Otherwise, this has been the best hotel we have stayed while in Ireland so far. The staff and hotels attention to details are top notch. You should not be disappointed!
