The best restaurants in Cork

25/08/2025: I had my birthday party at Hannah Barrett’s and it was amazing! The staff were so friendly and welcoming. Thanks a lot ❤️

04/07/2025: Great, friendly and quiet local pub

12/04/2026: Stayed here recently, the hotel itself was lovely and clean , food was beautiful, only10 min walk to the city, staff were extremely helpful especially a man named Alan he was a porter i think , couldn't do enough to help me , will 100% be back and would highly recommend 👌

06/04/2026: We came here during our brief stay in Cork. The hotel is located up a bit of a hill and you can easily see it from the colorful flowers planted on the outside. The rooms inside are just as nice, with a great view looking down the hill along with ornate decor. The staff were very cordial and we had a good time here and in the city.

28/03/2026: I brought my mother for lunch. She is very fussy and when we were leaving she said "I'll be coming back here"

28/03/2026: The food portion was too big for me but I loved what I got. The staff were very helpful and made sure we were OK. All my friends and my teachers loved their food too.

25/10/2025: nothing beats it. Best Guinness I’ve ever had. And maybe ever will have.

16/09/2025: Great bar for a quiet pint or three

06/12/2025: i lost my blazer at a work event yesterday if it is found pls hold onto it i'll pick it up tomorrow!

30/10/2025: The setting is lovely, but the waiters are unabashedly snobbish. I only recommend it if you fit the criteria of an upper-class clientele. It's mediocre.

14/04/2026: The added robots for food delivery and bussing is great. Food portions are fantastic and the service is wonderful. Highly recommend making a stop here for dinner.

06/04/2026: Lovely food & nice atmosphere. Ate in Conservatory area which is nicely decorated & dog friendly. The carvery is unreal quality & generous portion size providing value for money. Many Great options on Menu. Deserts are scrumptious.

13/10/2025: Best food very hygenic and very tasty food. I loved the friedrice and sweet sour chicken.

19/07/2025: Amazing good and warm and friendly service. Will visit again

30/03/2026: Had a family party there over the weekend. The food, the service and the venue were all A1+++. Lauren was so helpful with all the organising, and was very accommodating with last minute celiac food requirements. James and all the staff in the bar are great. Highly recommend Goldbergs for a family or works party. Also a great place to drop in for a drink and some food.

06/03/2026: €6.50 for a 330ml bottle of Heineken 0.0 is exorbitant when you’re charging the same for a pint of Guinness. .

15/06/2025: I had high hopes for this place, but after witnessing what goes on behind closed doors, I can’t recommend it. The lack of professionalism and questionable after-hours behaviour were deeply disappointing. What’s worse, after leaving my honest opinion, I received an intimidating message. That says more about the place than any review could. I was a regular customer. I expected decency, not fear. Not sure if management is aware, but if they are, that alone should be a red flag. Think twice before supporting this place.

14/06/2025: El fenix is possibly the best bar in cork city. Every single member of staff makes sure to make you feel welcomed. Savage music, beautiful pints, best spot in the city

02/01/2026: Best pub of the whole trip through Ireland. Authentic atmosphere and Irish spirit. Calm and with service accompanied by discreet Irish friendliness. The pint of Murphys was the best I drank in Ireland and accompanied by good music it tasted even better.

21/12/2025: Lovely drinks for a fair price. Friendly staff and patrons. Relaxed no BS atmosphere. Giant screen for sports. Fireplace.

08/04/2026: Very comfortable, great staff. Highly recommend

07/04/2026: Excellent value for money. Clean, efficient, helpful. Rooms are corporate type but very comfortable and functional. Lovely view of river and hill from bedroom window. Central location to city centre but also very hear bus station and train station. Highly recommend

18/04/2026: The food was really delicious. We ordered samosas, naan, pilou rice, and chicken tikka masala.

09/04/2026: Everything was great! Very tasty! And good portions.

24/12/2025: The staff are welcoming and the atmosphere feels relaxed

23/12/2025: A nice comfortable bar in Cork city, with good stout, good food and nice staff. Reasonably priced too.

19/04/2026: The food quality was terrible. We ordered roast turkey and roast bacon with broccoli, but the broccoli was yellow and not fresh. The worst part was the cauliflower vegetarian steak; the cauliflower was burnt. The steak was okay.

05/04/2026: Staff horrible. Food is vile would not waste my time here again steer clear of this place

16/10/2025: The Allihies Copper Mine Museum is a small but extremely informative museum – lovingly designed and full of fascinating insights into the history of copper mining in this region. The exhibition is presented in a modern style and impressively conveys how hard and deprived the lives of the miners once were. The personal atmosphere is particularly pleasant: you can feel the dedication with which the museum is run. The location in the picturesque village of Allihies, surrounded by impressive coastal scenery, also makes a visit a special experience. A small, yet exquisite museum that should not be missed – highly recommended!

10/10/2025: Beautiful location, delicious food and great service. The €7.00 for the museum was seriously overpriced. Interesting but small and not worth it
