The best restaurants in Cork

27/03/2025: Great addition to the area. Was there for lunch with a few friends and all were impressed.

07/03/2025: Just smell the food from outside is amazing but inside the food is Devine ask them if you want it hotter or milder they will oblige

01/03/2025: The food was delicious, it's been a while I haven't eaten such good Indian/ Nepal food. The service was very quick and the staff extremely friendly. I'll definitely be back.

30/10/2024: What a warm, family friendly welcome by personnel and regulars on a first day, first coffee and pastry in Cork. Not fancy but overwhelmingly neighborhoody and nice; returned again for the coffee and camaraderie in a funky atmosphere; indoor and outdoor (front & back) near Ft. ELIZ., St. Finns Cathedral & Nano Nagles.

04/10/2024: a hidden gem with the nicest staff and even lovely customers! their home baked goods are delicious, they give attention and care to the drinks they make and you feel right at home there 🫶 was my first time here and they were so welcoming and chatty. very cool vibe and stuff for sale there too!

01/09/2024: Fab local bar great staff locals should support it great owners

19/03/2025: Classic mid century watering hole

21/02/2025: I very much hope this pub isn't sold and changed into something else as reports last year suggested. A wonderful roadside pub with a truly comfortable interior and welcoming environment you can spend a lot of time in. Well worth the short bus out from central Cork even considering the wealth of options in the centre. Not many pubs on the fringes of town are like this anymore. Please keep it going!

30/11/2024: Absolutely delicious and beautifully decorated cupcakes. My sister ordered them as a surprise for 365 days to our wedding. Would definitely recommend. 😍

09/09/2024: Ali’s Bakery helped me send lovely Birthday cupcakes to my daughter studying at University College Cork. Not always easy to coordinate from the USA 😆. Helped make her birthday one to remember!

17/11/2024: Provided three incredibly delicious cocktails for our wedding drinks reception which were a hit with everyone, would highly recommend for any event.

13/11/2024: I cannot stress enough, how amazing the Foxglove team and company is. When my husband and I held a wedding reception at the Baltimore Sailing Club, Tara and Rory worked with us to create a tailored cocktail menu -- and made everything as easy and simple as could be. Not only that, they created custom cocktail toppers with my husband and my names, as well as specialty menus and theming. This was such a wonderful surprise on the day, and my family, who flew over from the States, was equally as excited. Foxglove and the cocktails incorporated such an intimate, special element to the day. Not only that, Tara and Rory and the full Foxglove team are not only consummate professionals, they are kind, funny, and bring such joy to every interaction. The drinks themselves are incredible -- they've made even the most complex drinks that most bartenders would turn to stone if you ordered them into something that is efficient and delicious each and every time. My mom, who doesn't drink liquor and prefers wine, legitimately said it was the only martini should would be drinking from there on out. I'm incredibly lucky to have sampled multiple iterations of Foxglove at different weddings, engagement parties, and events, and quite literally look forward to each and every time. I cannot emphasize enough how incredibly unique and fun this company and its team are. Run, don't walk, to make sure you book for your event. You will not be disappointed. In fact, I'm 100% positive you will feel the same way, and equally want to gush about what an amazing company and team this is.

19/08/2024: Had veggie pizza and margarita pizza , best taste I had in a while .

18/08/2024: The best pizza in Ireland. These folks know what they’re doing. Super friendly too. We asked for a Garlic Cheese Pizza bread which isn’t something that was on the menu and they made it fresh with raw garlic and suggested adding a bit of olive oil too. It was 12 out of 10!! Thanks folks!

20/03/2025: Unfortunately our birthday booking on the19th of March did not turn out as expected. I deeply regret not noticing the booking policy at the end of the confirmation email, as I wouldn't book a table here. We brought a small, single balloon and we were informed right away we can not place it up on the table. We pushed it back in the bag, but that wasn't good enough, as they took it away to the room behind the reception, like the weapon of the mass destruction. We made another disastrous decision of bringing a tiny cake for my fussy 11 year old. That's not allowed, but it wasn't stated in the booking email. I'm working in hospitality myself so I understand the allergens issues in the kitchens so we offered that we can have a cake straight from the box after the meal, and the cake doesn't need to travel to the kitchen or bar. That wasn't allowed. Thanks God nobody brought flowers as they are on the forbidden list also. All that have removed the celebration factor out of the birthday party. We tried to understand the point of all the restrictions but that really spoiled the atmosphere for the rest of the evening. We did not spill our frustration out onto any member of staff as we know they are not responsible for all those pointless rules. We rushed through the meal and left for another restaurant where the cake wasn't a problem. We used to love to visit the bar but will definitely not return. I think the whole point of going out to bars, pubs and restaurants is to have a fun night out, which is not only about food or only about the place. It's the whole package of having a good time with your friends and family in the welcoming environment. We can only guess that insurance companies have something to do with it, and if that is the case in few years down the line we won't be able to step in to any premises without signing a disclaimer first.

15/03/2025: I can't remember our servers name, but he was so nice and helpful. His name might have started with a G? We were booked for afternoon tea for 3pm for my friends belated birthday. Our server was very attentive, remembered I mentioned we were meeting for my friends bday and brought out a bday plate for my friend. We got a mocktail on arrival and honey pot when leaving. These touches are so nice, and I'll be recommending the venue to friends and family. I'll be back soon, such a relaxing and nice spot. All the staff were very attentive from the girl at the desk to the server. You don't get good customer service like this anymore so it was so refreshing.
