The best restaurants in Cork

14/09/2025: lovely spot, needs a bit of cosy added, so many options in line of pastries and savoury food

07/09/2025: €8.95 for a coffee and a scone. Way too expensive. Coffee was nice scone was ok. Got a pastiche de nata also for nearly 4 quid... Really poor left it behind. Staff were really nice.

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

11/08/2025: Has to be a solid 5 star. It’s reasonably cheap but good quality and reliable. There are three outlets in central locations in the city. Always tasty and quick. Recommended for a quick snack at lunchtime or after a few drinks in the evening.

11/07/2025: Quick and friendly service. We love coming here for a slice or two after a being out in the pub. Had the margherita and veg slices and they were great.

10/08/2025: Good place to go for a few drinks

25/12/2025: Very busy in the run up to Xmas. Pleasant and efficient staff. Plenty of snack options. Great views upstairs out onto the bustle of Oliver Plunkett Street. Will be back.

13/12/2025: Very nice and friendly people with a lot of inner sweetness.

31/03/2026: We had a fabulous experience at Isaac's restaurant last night. Our food was delicious and excellent value for money. Although the restaurant was extremely busy with a very large group food was delivered promptly and our server Conor was extremely helpful and attentive. We'll definitely return

28/02/2026: Crab crumble, poor and overpriced at 17 euros, not very much Crab at all However the monkfish scampi were very good and much better value, wine expensive as it is everywhere, although the monthly wine okay

08/03/2026: Staff are nice but the food is absolutely shocking. Definitely the worst boojum I have ever been to. Freezing cold, inedible, I threw it away because I felt sick eating it. Expensive mistake going here. It also took absolutely ages and the staff were in a bit of a faff because they were working on deliveroo orders. They handled it as best they could but I do not recommend this place to anyone anymore. Shame because it was good at one time! Edit: I did contact ye before posting this review to give you a chance so there's no point replying to me with that get in contact craic.

24/02/2026: Wery noce food. Highly recommend 👍

04/10/2025: Mahers Pure Coffee is a lovely cafe in the middle of the city. We came in to purchase coffee and equipment. They havewide selection of items for making coffee. They have a lovely coffee selection as well. We bought their hazelnut coffee, which is super popular. The team was friendly enough... The smell of coffee is very nice. I could stay there for a good while. It is downtown and central. They are wheelchair accessible. There is wheelchair accessible parking nearby.

08/09/2025: Such a great selection of coffee. Got set up on a monthly subscription and absolutely love it!!

04/01/2026: Had a lovely coffee and scone. Staff very nice and friendly. Beautiful location

22/12/2025: Was there last night for a birthday meal in the booth. gave 5 stars for the room but only used the restaurant. Have stayed in the hotel before so I know it’s great. The Mabel Crawford Bistro is beautiful, fantastic food and even better staff. 10/10 can’t wait to go back

12/02/2026: Worth every minute of the wait in line!!

08/02/2026: Good food and fast service. You can see the stress on their faces

28/02/2026: Great pizzas and a really nice overall vibe. There are good vegetarian options, which is a big plus. I liked almost all the pizzas, but my favourites were the Quattro Formaggi (Four Cheese) and the Marinara, simple and done really well. The place has a warm, cosy atmosphere, perfect for a relaxed evening. Beers are excellent, I usually go for the Chieftain IPA, and it never disappoints. Would definitely recommend for pizza + craft beer lovers

22/02/2026: Staff were friendly service was quick! Nice menu & reasonably priced

16/04/2026: I eating kebab in Istanbul Kebab The meat was rotten Unsanitary I'm still sick The selling price is too high. Don't waste your money

10/04/2026: Don't skip the rice! Ordered a Doner Kebab and a kebab platter. The kebabs were great, but the rice was some of the best rice I have ever had!

24/04/2026: Very tasty food with really friendly staff

24/04/2026: Sarah the waitress so welcoming ! Good food / good value for money

09/10/2025: No food...Plenty of character!!

28/09/2025: Cracking bar, worth calling in for a drink.
