The best restaurants in Cork

13/06/2025: That open kitchen was awesome—watching those flames and the chefs was incredible. The whole place was buzzing with energy, making the meal even better. My ribeye (medium) was perfect—juicy, flavorful, and so tender. And that T-bone (medium-rare)? Out of this world! Each bite was amazing, so rich and smoky. If you love steak, you gotta go. The food's amazing, the fire's stunning, and it's a dining experience you won't forget! 🔥🥩

13/06/2025: Amazing. Every dish slapped. Probably best meal of my life. Grazie. This was an experience and she delivered.

25/05/2025: Beat japanese food in cork, prices are a little high but you can't argue with food w quality and service .

15/05/2025: There is a new sushi and noodles restaurant here, everything was built again, this restaurant did a complete cleaning of the old business, everything was thrown in the trash or the old owners took everything, everything is very clean here, there is no dirt, slowly this restaurant is conquering Wilton and the surrounding area because when the food is good, the service is good, the customers always come back, as you know, it takes time to build a place, but this one has already taken off and I hope they have much success and much luck and that they are open for many years.

13/05/2025: Amazing vegetarian restaurant and never fails to impress Dine here a couple times a year. Travel to cork for this restaurant

13/05/2025: The best dining experience in recent memory. The menu was really interesting and creative and the execution of it was impressive. Service was brilliant, especially the knowledge on menu description. Attention to detail throughout setting. Thanks for a great evening.

09/05/2025: Comida increíble, excelentes vibraciones, menú de mariscos de corcho fresco, utilizando los mejores ingredientes locales, no puedo esperar para volver a mis próximas vacaciones

13/05/2025: Lovely dinner there last night. We had a later booking but our plans changed and they kindly squeezed us in earlier. Delightful place, imaginative menu - everything we tried was really excellent. My wife loved her whole sea-bass, my lamb shank was excellent. Stonebaked bread and hummus delicious. Highly recommended.

28/04/2025: One of our favorite meals in our entire time spent in Ireland! We would come back to Cork just to dine here again. The food was excellent, drinks were delicious, and they were more than able to accommodate my Vegan and Gluten free needs due to allergies. Orso is an absolute MUST if you are in or nearby Cork.

17/04/2025: Food: tasty, flavourful and absolutely authentic dishes. We tried their calamari fritti for starters. It was tasty but could have been better. For mains we had their pomodoro chorizo and carbonara. Both were absolutely excellent! Service: service was friendly and quite fast. Ambience: beautiful and cozy ambience. They have a cute fishtank at the entrance which we loved. Every table has a small lamp which gives very cozy vibes. Definitely coming here for more

15/04/2025: We ate here recently We ordered a tagliatelle and a pizza and both were very good. The service was excellent. It was very reasonably priced. From the outside this restaurant might not look amazing but the service and the food dispelled any doubts we had. Would definitely visit again.

13/06/2025: Fantastic food, lovely staff and pretty location. 100% would recommend and hope to visit again!

08/06/2025: Less options for Vegetarians Brownie with vanilla ice-cream is a seller Roast chicken was amazing as well but did not like the mash potato which is served with it. Ambience - 4/5 Taste - 4/5 Service 4/5

16/06/2025: Hayfield Manor was a step up in luxury. The staff, amenities, food and everything else was well worth every penny. I would 100% recommend anyone e who is visiting Cork to stay at the Manor and be pampered. Thank you to everyone who made our stay exceptional.

15/06/2025: Lovely in every way. We have never been greeted at any property like this. The entire team went out of their way to ensure every detail was taken care of. This property is outstanding. We enjoyed every minute. Thank you.

27/05/2025: Everything was perfect, staff was amazing!

24/05/2025: Excellent atmosphere, wonderful food. Affordable price. Thaís served us very well. I highly recommend it.

04/06/2025: I have eaten in this place twice the first time was amazing i couldn't fault them. The cocktails were delicious in the winter and the tasting menu with the venison was amazing it was winter. The 2nd time was bad I cancelled 1 reservation at another restaurant to go to them and I regret it. The food wasn't as good it was the spring tasting menue. They changed the cocktails and they weren't as good as the ones I had in winter. The food was just meh and some of it was not nice. So I don't know if it is just that tasting menu or not

19/05/2025: Overall poor experience. Service is appalling for a fine dining. The ambiance is null, looks like you are in a commercial unit with a bar in the middle. The food was ok, but the menu tasting lacks direction in terms of flavours and continuity. Desserts were mediocre. It seems a want to be fine dining bistro that misses class and refinement.

28/04/2025: A pizzeria that understands that more is not better.

08/04/2025: First stop on a trip to Ireland in this pizzeria/bar (the 2 businesses seem to be merged), with a magnificent terrace! The place seems very busy, the pizzas are very good and accompanied by beers from the neighboring bar it's perfect!

03/06/2025: I ordered take out . Papaya salad , red curry chicken and jasmine rice . Food was beautiful 10/10 and the guy serving was very helpful and friendly . Thanks 🙏

01/06/2025: Delicious food and fantastic service. It’s a busy place and rightly so. The food is amazing and the staff are brilliant

07/05/2025: Just visited this place for the first time after living in the area for a while already. Absolutely loved the place. Just dropped here for a quick lunch on my son's 18th birthday. Service was really lovely, people went far & beyond to make us feel welcome, food was spectacular and I left the place even happier than I came in. Definitely will come again.

03/05/2025: Tuvimos una comida fabulosa, pero lo que lo empañó fue Beverly. Muy buena comida. El servicio era bueno. Tuvimos 3 platos de comida con bebidas que estábamos acabando desierto cuando Beverly el anfitrión vino y dijo que teníamos 10 minutos para levantarse de la mesa la mesa está reservada. No nos dimos cuenta ya que teníamos nuestros cafés pedidos sabiendo que estaríamos terminados en aproximadamente 10 mente de todos modos. Ella regresó en menos de los 5 minutos que necesitamos para desalojar la mesa dijimos que terminaremos nuestros cafés y nos iremos luego dijo que estábamos 2 horas allí y hay un límite de 2 horas en la mesa. Dijimos que teníamos una comida de 3 platos con bebidas y nunca oímos que había un límite de 2 horas y no había señales. Ella estaba dando a otros empleados acerca de nuestra mesa y que no nos íbamos de la mesa. Íbamos a irnos en breve. Sentimos que era muy grosera y poco después de la conversación dejó caer nuestro cheque a la mesa. Había mesas a nuestro alrededor libres y no vimos qué prisa había. Fue una pena dejar esta opinión, ya que la comida y el servicio era bueno. Nuestra factura era de más de 150 €, sentimos que no merecíamos esto.

04/05/2025: Me and my son who has asd were waiting for our bus home and when i arrived I went to the bar ordered a drink for both of us. We sat outside and I asked for another 15 minutes later as the barman was collecting glasses. He seemed in a terrible form. I needed to be there for my autistic son but I was told u know where the bar is. Sorry but it wouldn't have taken too much to put on my pint of Guinness and would have gone in when it was settled. BTW I was only having 2 as my bus was in half an hour. I don't know his name but management would want to keep an eye on it. My first ever negative review about a place but he's attitude was disgraceful

03/05/2025: Really good pub. Good mix of locals and tourists, live music every day, super friendly staff. Number one stop in Cork City.
