The best restaurants in Cork

13/12/2025: Had dinner tonight in soba with my partner mother in law and my baby. Were greated with a warm smile and super accommodating. They were so accommodating to my baby also, immediately grabbed a highchair and were being playful with him. We ordered our food they even reccomended a dish to my mother in law as she asked. The food arrived very fast. It was gorgeous, the chips were crispy on the outside and soft inside the curry was beautiful and so was the crispy chicken. My partner got the satay and it was beautiful also. The dish my mother in law was recommended was also beautiful. Fast service and great food. Definitely worth the price even though it’s not as expensive as some of the other similar restaurants i’ve been to. A small restaurant very clean quiet perfect for a date night or celebration. Played lovely christmas music on low was beautiful. The staff are just the kindest i’ve ever met. Super sweet ! Highly reccomend going to this restaurant

03/12/2025: Delicious food, large portions, and fantastic service! Wonderful Christian music playing for Christmas! Also good beer.

28/11/2025: Went there for my birthday. The food was enjoyable. Nice atmosphere. Would recommend.

26/11/2025: Great little spot best steak In town. Very happy..lovely staff too very accommodating.

30/10/2025: Update: I made payment for soaps and my money was refunded to me. No reason was given, no response to my message. It may be because of my last review but this experience was worse than the last time. I made payment of the 3rd of October, 2025. The customer care service and response needs to be worked on. More information about delivery(delivery company) used too needs to be given to the client or updated on your website/whatsapp welcome message. I had a terrible experience of being ignored without any update from the person I was chatting with. When I complained the message I got was such a terrible message, where the person responded like she was doing me a favour. You really need to do better. About the product I ordered, there is no doubt about the authenticity of the product I got it. It was exactly what I wanted. It was original, especially since a lot of fakes are in circulation and the price was the best price I saw anywhere. I hope in future I can get more of the product I got and be able to edit/update this review to more favourable experience.

23/10/2025: Amazing afro food shop with the most helpful staff that go above and beyond to help you with what you need.

26/10/2025: The best staff Cork has to offer. Especially Ava 💛

19/10/2025: Great little spot for coffee. Fab sandwiches too and always a good atmosphere. Big car park around the back but the entrance is a bit hidden

27/11/2025: (Traducido por Google) Uno de los mejores cafés de la ciudad. (Original) One of the best coffees in town

25/11/2025: A pleasant and intimate atmosphere at this cafe, which offers substantial breakfasts. Generous portions with fresh ingredients. The wait for your food isn't long, but because the place is small, there might not be enough room to eat inside. I recommend it.

09/11/2025: Very good supermarket, lots of variety of takeaway food, friendly employees.

07/11/2025: Great choice of food, great for lunches, plenty of parking outside. Good value lunch options However, they have those self check out booths!! Bring back the staff!!!

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

22/02/2025: Lovely Food, Atmosphere and Friendly, Helpful Staff 😀

03/02/2025: Love this place staff are super nice great place for a catch up and a coffee food is lovely

23/12/2025: Our third time to Airtastic - always a hit for our now 11 year old. The bounce park has a decent setup, nice viewing area, solid refreshment stand and connects indoors to the adjacent arcade and bowling. The arcade is a bit worn, a few games weren't working or were glitchy which was disappointing, but still had fun.

23/12/2025: Mini golf was the opposite of horrible dont change it or else 1 star from me :D The cheese sauce is too cheesy and too thick The bowling 10/10 no notes. But please change the intro when it says how many pins you hit on the tv please .they didn’t make sense at all. From Julie and her nephew Max. :)

21/12/2025: Loved the dinosaur exhibit, colouring and things for kids on next level and very friendly staff, lovely cafe too

18/11/2025: Great little museum. Plenty of folk art. Beautiful walk to and from. Very quiet, peaceful, and respectful vibes.

02/01/2026: Dark, mellow, rowdy with craic. Heaven and home all at once

15/12/2025: Good for live music, but a bit on the small size

22/08/2025: shocking standards Since they closing down, raw chips , chicken burger dead dry and black inside meet , chicken wings black inside absolutely disgusting

10/08/2025: Visited Route Fourteen with my family for lunch. The food was great, the dining area was spacious, but I have a few points I hope can be considered to improve the service. There were two lunch menus on our visit: one standard lunch menu (same as website) and one specific for the day or week. We ordered from the second menu since they seemed seasonal and more fresh than the regular menu. The prices were similar to other gastropubs around Cork City. I ordered pork belly with vegetables and mashed potatoes. The pork was stuffed with walnuts and dates, a stuffing I would have never thought would taste so nice with pork. Other dishes we had were the "Smash Burger" and Reuben sandwich. We ordered chicken wings with buffalo sauce for starters. Everybody enjoyed their orders but the beef in the Reuben would be better if it was not heated much. For dessert we had a mango and raspberry cheesecake and lemon meringue. Both were presented nicely and tasted amazing. They are best eaten between two people as they are large desserts. We were seated at a bright high table by the window, however we were near a large private booking and I felt a bit under pressure as the staff were setting the tables around us for the arriving diners. Given that the venue was not busy when we arrived, I would have preferred sitting further away from the large group booking. I would highly recommend visiting Route Fourteen on your next day out for lunch or dinner at a gastropub.

27/11/2025: Great burritos, super friendly staff, extra sauces at hand, Boojum is a really nice place for a munch, I definitely recommend it for a tasty and filling meal,

15/11/2025: Loveee this boojum and staff are always so nice so great customer service 😌

03/12/2025: Omg! Unreal, I got the fluffiest scone I have ever tasted, I was so amazed by the desserts, I had to have a biscoff slice, delish!! But was so full afterwards I needed a nap 😅 defo recommend, fab spot!
