The best restaurants in Cork

24/05/2026: Absolutely amazing! Best doner kebab I’ve had in my life honestly. The service was great, food came relatively quickly! Place was really clean and the atmosphere was very warm and welcoming. Will definitely be back! *Wheelchair accessible*

17/05/2026: 18 a chicken kebab meal. A bit costly but tastes great.

21/03/2026: Visited this pub on paddys day and had a great time bar staff were great and music was great def recomend it

07/05/2026: Gorgeous food & giving generous portions at great value. Staff are lovely & polite.

03/05/2026: We would like to express our sincere appreciation for Ana, who gave us outstanding service this afternoon. We only came in to ask about a reservation, but she was so warm and welcoming that we decided to stay and have something to eat. It has been a long time since we were taken care of so well in a restaurant. Her professionalism, kindness, and wonderful approach to our children truly impressed us. It is rare nowadays to meet someone who offers this level of care and dedication, and a person like Ana is a real asset to a business of this kind. We thank her very sincerely.

13/05/2026: A busy restaurant, and therefore perhaps a bit overcrowded inside. But I wasn't bothered by other guests. I had the sirloin steak, which was fine. The accompanying vegetables didn't appeal to me as much, but that is a matter of personal taste. In short, the restaurant is worth a visit.

13/05/2026: Delicious food. We went two days in a row, had different foods each time, and everything was delicious! They have great options for gluten free GF, too. Highly recommend!

19/09/2025: Beautiful place, great coffee and good music!

06/09/2025: Hipster café with a very nice atmosphere in Cork City center. When I went there it was really packed, but still very enjoyable given the good vibes and good music. Nice coffee too for 3'60€.

03/01/2026: One of the best places in Cork for me to sit down and drink some beer and eat some food. Have many good memories here.

31/12/2025: Popped in to watch a match and had a great time! Pints flowing all night, perfect place to watch the game. Cillian in particular kept us well topped up in a friendly yet professional way! Cheers!

24/10/2025: Lovely pub, under 5€ per pint of Heineken

28/11/2025: The best sandwich I have had in a long time!

05/11/2025: Best salad bowl I've ever had in Cork!

16/11/2025: The best Beamish we tried all weekend in Cork.

06/11/2025: giving this place 5 stars feels right and wrong. right because it’s a great place for a drink - wrong because i don’t want other people going and making it busy

24/10/2025: Friendly staff, delicious cake, great value, only criticism I could make would be the music is a touch loud?

19/10/2025: I know this place is called The Grumpy Baker but I didn’t realize that was referring to your experience. Absolutely never leave reviews but our experience was so ridiculous I had to say something. My friends and I stopped in for a quick bite to eat. Two of us had tea we had just grabbed from the market but the rest did not. We all ordered a ton of food and coffee. The place was only slightly busy and had plenty of tables open but they all had reserved signs on them. When we asked if we were staying, we mentioned the signs and were told that they only put reserved signs to literally deter people from sitting down because of how busy they get. Red flag number one. Secondly they charge you more for eating there as opposed to take away. Which is just weird. I don’t know if that’s common in Ireland but it certainly isn’t in the States. Red flag number two. When we told the girl we’d eat in, a different staff member mentioned we couldn’t stay with tea from somewhere else. Which we very easily agreed too and said that’s fine we’d take away. The blonde girl taking our order (which I’ve seen other reviews talking about how rude she was) then continued to bring it up after we calmly agreed to leave saying that it’s disrespectful to their business for us to have brought it in. Even after these comments, we completely understood and said it’s fine we’ll take away. We then proceeded to move over to wait for our food only to stand there watching at the very least 6 other people come and go with their food. Almost the entire place was cleared out and we still hadn’t received our order. At that point I was almost positive the blonde girl serving us was doing this on purpose because she walked past us several times and refused to look at us. It seemed that she was more interested in being on her phone and chatting to her coworkers than asking us why we were still waiting. After who only knows how long, a completely separate staff member who was incredibly kind asked us what we were missing. Once we told him our order, he got us out right away, which means that girl just didn’t get our order ready since we watched this employee put our order in the oven. It was so wild. All in all this was a horrible experience and the name of the business says it all. The food wasn’t bad but it definitely wasn’t good enough for us to ever deal with that again. For the rest of our trip, our group could not stop talking about how insane our experience there was. Will not recommend.

08/10/2025: Small, quaint shop with excellent food and friendly staff! I had the Nutella banana pancakes and my husband Breakfast nap sandwich. Both were delicious!! We also had the raspberry almond cake. Tea and coffee were great. Reasonably priced and food was super fresh! A must see!

05/09/2025: We recently ordered a sandwich platter for 15 people from the Floury Apron. They were absolutely top quality and we had a great mix of fillings in ciabatta , foccacia, wraps and slice pan. Caroline was very attentive via email and followed up afterwards to make sure we were happy with our order. Food, service and value were all 10/10. Would highly recommended.

12/04/2026: Absolutely blown away by the cake Karolina made for my wife's 40th. She managed to pull this together at short notice, and the quality is outstanding—it looks like a work of art. Fantastic service and a talented baker. Will definitely be ordering again!
