The best restaurants in Cork

06/09/2025: Friendly staff great pub plenty of well sheltered outdoor space

26/05/2025: Great pub, had not been in for 40 years. Lovely refurbishment. Plus great food. Must visit again

17/04/2026: Had fun shopping at the different vendors here. Got a few used books, a necklace, edible Irish seaweed, ginger drink, and some eco-friendly cleaning products! They have a little bit of everything.

20/03/2026: Good stuff. Very very delicious. I come here on Tuesdays.

20/04/2026: Amazing and affordable chai. Lovely atmosphere as well for rain or sun

15/04/2026: Lovely pub to visit in Cork with friendly staff and range of drinks available

09/09/2025: To be honest, I didn’t feel welcome here as a younger foreign visitor. The atmosphere felt very closed-off, with most of the crowd being 40–60 year old white locals or American tourists. Tourist and people are in here are friendly, however service from the bartender(maybe the owner) was unfriendly and included microaggressions that made me uncomfortable. I was deprioritised and even looked down on when served a beer. I felt quite sad when I leave here and ruined my trip in Kinsale. Based on my experience, I wouldn’t recommend this place unless you already fit that demographic.

04/09/2025: Great place for some Irish music and a pint, in a cosy pub.

13/04/2026: Absolutely amazing food and great service, can be busy during weekend evenings so book ahead to avoid waiting.

19/02/2026: Very pleasant restaurant with a good menu selection (including nice vegetarian options) and excellent service.

28/12/2025: Very small cafe with more seats outdoors than inside. The coffee is decent taste and size. Price 4.10 for a large size

08/12/2025: Absolutely beautiful coffee ☕ very welcoming staff also highly recommend

05/04/2026: Came here the other night for the arcade and some karaoke. Honestly, the best night I had out in Cork recently. The young lady working in the karaoke was especially friendly and makes a great mojito! Thanks for a great night.

04/04/2026: Great place for music bingo on Friday nights (Woolshed)

11/09/2025: Very pretty garden centre with a nice cafe enclosed. Lovely coffee.

04/08/2025: Drove a long way to find them closed, rang before I left and their voice mail stated they where open 7days a week < they are not, they close on bank holiday Mondays!!!

30/09/2025: Creamy pints midweek. Great atmosphere, and service.

12/08/2025: Staff are chill and the outdoor area is nice without being pretentious

21/11/2025: spice bag was delicious, owners really friendly and hospitable

02/11/2025: I got spicy chicken meehon after describing what kind of a noodle i want on the night of the halloween,no eggs not sweet sauce ,the women taking my order was very practical to guide me with my choice and also asked me if i want spicy or not.(it is really spicy so if it is not for you keep that in mind) What i received as my order was totally what i was craving.the price (11.50)sounded a bit too much in the beginning for a takeaway noodle but considering the portion guess it was ok, she also let me charge my phone inside on a very busy night even before my order so thanks again to her for that.The only thing i would recommend them to come up with a solution with is their plastic boxes they put the food in.As you would expect asian food is served super duper hot and it is really not healthy to serve boiling hot food in plastic boxes,other than that the food is 5/5 and the service was even better

02/05/2026: Great food and people. Ana was great!

04/04/2026: Always a family favorite..food and staff always very good

10/03/2026: Good food good service everyday going there to take away chicken satay

17/02/2026: amazing food and customer service! spicy bag!!!!😛👍🏻

26/09/2025: Stopped by this coffee shop this morning for a cortado and something to go — and wow! The cortado was absolute perfection, and the almond croissant was just as impressive. To top it off, they were playing Radiohead, which gave the place such a great vibe. Highly recommend if you’re looking for fantastic coffee and fresh-baked goods!

15/08/2025: Delicious espresso at a good price

18/11/2025: A really proudly run family business, warm atmosphere, friendly staff and a real addition to the UCC campus area.

13/11/2025: love the place, cozy and confortable place to stay when next to university

08/04/2026: Awful place. Refused my partner a pint because he wasnt completely finished the one in front of him. Was speaking to someone at another table and they refused him a whiskey because he had half a pint in front of him. Staff pick and choose who they serve and wound never reccomend this place to anyone. They know how to charge well and staff are horrible.

18/02/2026: Another nice pub in the area. Prices on par with surrounding pubs and London Massive selection of beers and spirits. Would recommend
