The best restaurants in Cork

18/07/2026: Foods always banging and its not to expensive either

01/07/2026: Maybe I ordered wrong, but that wasn't great at all. Ordered the King Creole pitta. Probably the priest thing I've eaten in a while. Where's the mayo? The taco fries were nice but cold so can't finish these either. Probably would not be back. Busy, busy queues always.

15/07/2026: Breakfast was great. Good service and the food was finished quickly. Especially the banana bread was delicious

02/07/2026: Came here twice while visiting Cork with my family! Really good food and coffee, and able to accommodate our group of 8 easily. There were also 3 people in our group needing gluten free, and they had great options! Highly recommend this spot.

26/07/2026: Very nice atmosphere, with a friendly and quick staff. And amazing food quality. All at one place that you need for a perfect outing, doesn’t matter if it is lunch or dinner. Definitely give it a shot, you will never regret it.

18/03/2026: Best breakfast roll I had in a long time

24/05/2026: Fantastic pub with live music. Guy was playing old school rock classics. Great crowd too. Mix, but plenty of late 30s-40s genX women there too. Had a great time. RECOMMEND.

22/05/2026: Barman had an awful attitude towards people

11/07/2026: If you want the best tasting asian dishes you have to come and taste , undelivered very good food and service

10/07/2026: The BEST pad thai ive ever had!! Cannot recommend this place enough

08/06/2026: By far the best bar in Cork. Great selection of Irish whiskey, good food, and Danny the co-owner was a really nice guy. Food 5stars Danny got me hooked on Red Breast 12yr Irish Whiskey. 5stars

29/05/2026: I am pretty amazed to read that this Place only has 4.2 stars. I found it to be completely charming. My Irish Coffee was out of this world. The other clientele were extremely friendly. Highly recommended 🙏🏾

18/07/2026: Good location on the main street. Sat outside, a little loud with music playing as it was a little difficult at time to hear my friend speak, other than that staff were very friendly and professinal.

15/07/2026: Just back from Tradehouse - ordered Plaice and a Turkey and Ham. Took ages for waiter to take the order and then a very very long time before the meals showed up (after calling a waiter and asking him to check how long it would be). Anyway Turkey and Ham was passable but the Plaice and chips arrived looking like somebody found it under a counter somewhere a few lettuce leaves and a bit of onion in a separate bowl - no dressing no tartar sauce (as per menu) nothing else - just as described. Tried the fish and OMG (it was breaded fish) the bread almost broke my teeth, the fish inside was so dry I could barely swallow the little I was brave enough to put in my mouth - YUCK!!!!! One of the staff from behind the bar came over and said he had no problem with the fish --- SERIOUSLY???? I don't know where or what he eats I'd like to know so I could avoid it like I'll be avoiding Tradehouse Central Ballincollig!!! Of course I sent it back - nobody ever served me rubbish like that before EVER. Pure muck - never ever again.....

16/07/2026: Staff are very friendly and helpful 🙂

12/10/2025: Beautiful Cafe with a lovely cosy interior and atmosphere,theres also a Charity Shop next door with some lovely items available and reasonably priced....both the Cafe and Charity Shop support Down Syndrome which is fantastic to support

25/07/2026: Great tapas, wine and cider choices. One staff member a bit obnoxious in assuming people using the toilet weren't diners til corrected. He did apologise immediately though. Other than that, staff were friendly and attentive. Nice trendy place for a more expensive option.

19/07/2026: I took my mother in for a bite to eat before the Everyman a couple of weeks ago on a lovely sunny evening and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Our waiter was so nice and really looked after us. We'll be back again soon. Siobhan

19/05/2026: I was part of a school reunion here last week. From start to finish we were so well looked after. We had the downstairs lounge to ourselves. Daire was simply outstanding in terms of engagement and service. I am looking forward to a return visit

16/05/2026: Great place to arrange to meet friends

18/06/2026: Thrive used to be my go to spot, such a handy stop with the drive through in a prime location. It was always super consistent, and a bonus that they served Stone Valley Coffee. Over time though, I found consistency dropped during busy periods, with quality feeling a bit rushed and more focused on quantity over care. I have also had a few experiences where walk ins seemed to be overlooked in favour of drive through orders. I understand the pressure of a busy setup like that, but consistency and quality should always come first. I’ve stopped coming as a result, which is a pity as it has a lot of potential. With a bit more consistency, I think the quality alone would keep people coming back.

15/06/2026: such nice staff, great price and great coffee and matchas

04/07/2026: Best espresso martini I've had. Ice cold, creamy, delicious

04/07/2026: Quick service, tasty food and friendly bar staff

29/06/2026: A local pub in Cork, Ireland. Great place to share a pint with the locals

23/04/2026: Great Guinness pub, very pleasant

22/07/2026: Great food. Phone customer support could be improved… but for the food you get over it!

18/07/2026: Excellent food! The place is really really good, come for a good meal 🙂‍↔️
