The best restaurants in Cork

10/07/2025: Lovely little restaurant food was exceptional

15/06/2025: Honestamente estoy tan decepcionado. Esta es mi opción - a los chinos y siempre me ha encantado su comida, pero esta vez fue completamente inaceptable. Encontré cinco pelos blancos largos durante toda mi comida. No sólo uno, sino cinco. El arroz estaba mal cocido y duro, y la carne era tan masticable que era básicamente no comestible. Honestamente, fue una lucha comer algo de eso. Realmente odio dejar malas críticas, especialmente para un lugar que suelo disfrutar, pero esto era demasiado. Espero que se tomen esto en serio y lo aborden. Me encantaría poder volver, pero no si esto vuelve a suceder.

07/08/2025: First time going. Food was very tasty. Was told my order would take 20 mins, 50 mins later we got out food.

01/08/2025: The best burgers in the country that’s a fact !!

28/08/2025: Alex was very informative about the places around town and gave us a brief rundown on local brews/whiskeys

12/08/2025: We did not have food, only cocktails, but they were very good with a great selection to pick from, and staff were helpful / welcoming

29/06/2025: Murgh makani, pulao rice, Garlic naan and poppadoms. All amazing, fast delivery!

20/06/2025: Great food, very tasty. Love the butter chicken

13/08/2025: Great authentic sandwiches and lunches. Great service and staff are charming

02/08/2025: I usually always get a sandwich here for lunch, the sandwiches are always brilliant, the coffees are great and the staff are always lovely and friendly. (Pictures of various sandwiches I have got there before)

09/03/2025: Top quality service. Free coffee refil was an unexpected treat! Don't get that in too many places. The food quality was incredible. The meat used is so flavoursome and you know it's the best quality. Spotless establishment. I'd the special breakfast but can not wait to go back with my children to try the dinners! Keep up the super work 👏

08/11/2024: Reliable quality food, as usual.

03/07/2025: Absolutely delighted this cafe is back open. Absolute quality, had the Paul’s special sandwich which was accompanied with a fresh salad and crisps. Absolutely superb and the coffee was delicious.

25/07/2025: Good coffee and scones, the place is not very comfortable but it's fine for a while

17/07/2025: Terrible coffee. Very low quality. I do not recommend it.

13/08/2025: I went to Bean and Leaf last Thursday for my usual morning coffee. A server (turned out to be the manager) was walking from the floor, to the coffee station. I said 'excuse me, can you please give me the code for the (outer door) of the bathroom. She did not reply, so I asked again for the code. 'You don't need the code, there are two people in the bathroom, stand at the door, and they'll let you in when they come out.' I made three more requests for the code - on the fourth, she told me the code numbers, through clenched teeth, barely audible. She told me also - if you hadn't lost the receipt, you wouldn't need to ask for it!!! Incredible. A man then stood up from his sat, fists clenched, red furious face, clearly unable to control his rage. Are you planning to assault me, I asked? because I will have the police here, fast. This woman, whose name is Ana, instigated this entire incident, putting me in danger of violence. Just for arguing with a customer for that length should be enough to fire her. Her boss, Bill, called me, and excused her with his every word. 'A misunderstanding, he said. Bill could not tell WHAT WAS THE MISUNDERSTANDING? HER REFUSAL TO GIVE ME THE CODE, CAUSED THE INCIDENT, THAT COULD VERY EASILY HAVE LED TO VIOLENCE - NOTHING ELSE. ITS EITHER ELDER ABUSE, MAN HATE, OR HOMOPHOBIA. SHE IS CLEARLY MALICOUS, AND SHE KNOWS SHE WILL GET AWAY WITH IT. THE WHOLE THING WAS HORRIBLE AND UPSETTING. PADDY FITZPATRICK. SHANDON. CORK CITY.

04/08/2025: Delicious cappuccino, service was good staff looked a little unhappy but it was Sunday morning 😁

08/08/2025: The halo halo is available on Summer months. The best. Also tried their home made siomao which is 10/10

14/07/2025: You should call banana bread NOT cake 🎂 Hard like rock 🪨 dry leftover from week

08/06/2025: The best food I've had in a while. Best cocktail I've ever had. Best music while we were eating. Absolutely criminal why there wasn't a queue out the door. That said we tried to book a table and it said none available, turned up on the off chance and the place was empty. Best food/drink /music ever! So happy 🤤🤤🤤 (I would fight people for the beef tacos!)

27/04/2025: I needed plasters for my friend who was hurt. They very kindly gave me some. Thank you so much.

24/08/2025: One female staff very rude and condescending, ruined my first experience even ignored me whilst I was in the Que and served other man before me . Food was not great .

27/07/2025: Lovely lunch great friendly staff and plenty of parking

23/08/2025: Nice ambience,lovely staff,nice place for a drink.

05/08/2025: Cillian is an excellent barman and has great interaction with both customers and colleagues. The atmosphere was very relaxed and jolly with interjections of harmless banter while staff moved with purpose. I was well impressed.

14/08/2025: I tried the tofu/udon option, it was absolutely delicious. Friendly staff :)

17/05/2025: The worst sushi I've ever eaten, nothing is fresh and the staff is a bit bored! I don't recommend it in any way!

05/08/2025: Cillian is an excellent barman and has great interaction with both customers and colleagues. The atmosphere was very relaxed and jolly with interjections of harmless banter while staff moved with purpose. I was well impressed.
