The best restaurants in Cork

26/08/2026: I’m so excited to go back here! I think the price matches the quality of ingredients, staff are friendly and timely as-well as the food. The only negative thing about our 3rd visit was our eggs weren’t runny, that being said - it was delicious. Great coffee and fresh orange juice. I can’t wait to have eggs royale from here again- best I’ve ever had in all of Cork. Also, it would be great to have a cushion on the chair they’re quite hard, feel very office IKEA-like.

24/08/2026: Great little place by city hall. Delicious coffee. Open, light filled space with books and artwork. Lovely staff and quick service. Very reasonable prices.

29/08/2026: Great experience, the fries were a bit dry but the T bone steak was excellent

29/08/2026: this was our fist time drinking in Cork and Steve made sure to make it just the best time!! absolutely lovely vibes, amazing cocktails and just a beautiful establishment overall! we don't live near but thanks to the amazing kindness and professionalism of Steve we will make sure to come back and try the cusine as well! cheers from Andrea and Maria! ☘️

04/08/2026: A lovely, cozy pub. They have delicious pizza for €9.50.

18/05/2026: Great bar, staff lovely, fantastic atmosphere, plenty of seating, perfect for watching that match as loads of tvs and while I was there a spontaneous music session started It was great

05/09/2026: Delicious food, nice decor, friendly service. I recommend it.

30/08/2026: Very average and overpriced. Won’t be back

07/08/2026: I ordered my drink matcha with oat milk at the window. I then went for a walk along the Lee Fields. The team is super friendly, fast, and ontop of everything. . The matcha is outstanding as well as their snacks. We have been enjoying their new Matcha lineup as well. Ice matcha yum!!! Definitely visit here and go for a walk along River Lee. Great place for dogs and other pets. Just remember to keep them on a leed. It is wheelchair accessible. There is outdoor seating area and cabins to get out of the rain or sun.

30/07/2026: Brilliant pastries and coffee, good vibe

10/08/2026: I'm speaking from experience about the apartment, and it has an excellent location. The hosts are attentive and friendly; they even booked a taxi for me. The apartment meets all your needs. It is a bit noisy, at least on Saturday nights, but that's the risk you take with the bar downstairs. Everything was very clean.

01/08/2026: Lovely, cosy little bar. Definitely worth a visit.

26/08/2026: We had a very good meal here. I can definitely recommend the Yaki Udon! The waiter was also very friendly and attentive (he even took our personal preferences into account).

13/06/2026: Very good japanese restaurant, one of the best i ever been in. The service was fast.

03/08/2026: Still hasn't changed since the 80s, hopefully it never will. Edit, its now 2026 and I called in for a 2 pints , just remember that I first visited this pub in 1985, as I was able too. It has been the centre of my writing my nostalgic visits, even during during my cancer fight. And I was chatting to the lady serving me, then this bearded langer, who is a staff member decided to give his tuppence aggressively and ignorantly and hes 42.....when I asked why the answer was " I added it up" ..... Ill always be grateful its there, but I was one of 5 and a bearded langer thinking he was intelligent. Im from Cork City, alas Ill never go again

24/07/2026: Wow! What a pub! Peter and his lovely colleague made me and my daughter feel so welcome. Lots of fun banter and great pints of Murphys! Don’t miss this gem!

04/08/2026: Will definitely be back. A large group of us, service was excellent and food was great.

02/08/2026: We went to have a snack. We shared a large dish of mussels and a pizza which were superb. We then shared the salmón dish on rice - also superb. The water provided was also excellent. Staff were patient and pleasant. The only Black Mark was the appalling state of the Gents loo.....

02/08/2026: Great pub, always a good time with a pool table and darts available!

02/08/2026: Excellent bar, several games are offered, including darts

22/07/2026: Excellent spot. Very deceiving. Very welcoming

24/08/2026: A lovely restaurant with delicious food. From start to finish a very enjoyable experience. The dessert was so nice I had to taste it before I took photo. I didn't get the girls name that waited on our table but she was a pleasure.

19/08/2026: The food was absolutely amazing. The best food ive had out in a long time. Expensive but well worth it.

30/08/2026: Food was lovely and a good selection. Unfortunately the service wasn't great. Yes, we were sitting outside but the restaurant wasn't very busy. Nearly 30mins for empty plates to be taken. We had to go in and order our desserts as we weren't sure how long we would be left waiting

30/08/2026: A nice Italian restaurant with good pasta and very friendly service. You can choose to sit either indoors or outside.

09/07/2026: Lovely staff, beautiful spot for a coffee. Gluten free bread for sandwiches

16/06/2026: Lovely café with friendly service. We wandered around for ages trying to find it. Please put up a big sign on the road 😊
