The best restaurants in Cork

30/07/2025: Amazing smash burgers — juicy, flavorful, and super fresh. Easily the best burger I’ve had in Cork. Highly recommend!

30/07/2025: This burger had me in love at first bite 😍🔥 The smash, the sauce, the spice — everything hit different. Best burger I’ve had in a long time, no cap. Cork got lucky with this one

24/08/2025: Went to nandos today,service was bad,food expensive,long wait for food,nearly 40minutes,won't go there again

18/08/2025: As always had fantastic food however today we had the most incredible experience at Nando’s because of a fantastic member of the Nando’s team call Grant

24/08/2025: Have been here a few times in the last year and had wonderful lunches but had a breakfast here that left a lot to be desired. Beans were crusted as if left under a hot lamp for too long, bacon was fat stringy american style which was not nice and the butter portions where thrown in on top of the food and underneath some of it so god knows how many hands touched it before it hit the food on the plate. Normally very satisfied with NOSH but this was well below par. Food took a while to come out but it was quite busy so can't lay the fault on the restaurant.

23/08/2025: Food was very slow in coming out I was finished by the time my partner got hers.a but over priced as well

18/06/2025: Lovely bar. Atmosphere is great. Got very very busy after 10pm so if your not a big fan of crowds that's a heads up for you. Cocktails were divine plus they had a really good offer on them before 10pm

12/06/2025: Went when there was a jukebox band on, was a good vibe but drinks were a joke. Paid 24€ for a jack and coke and a vodka cran, got the same thing in another bar plus 2 shots for 19€, been a few times but would definitely have pre - drinks before going in, the people inside are a mix of mams and creeps, luck of the draw. Bartender ignored us 4 times before serving us. Also very little crowd control in there, it's like a tin of sardines

03/08/2025: Great bar for a bit to eat and a drink with friends

02/07/2025: We went there after a Concert. It's a really good place for having a final Beer or Gin Tonic!

03/07/2025: Good pizza and price, have been here a few times, very authentic

29/06/2025: Incredible pizza and amazing customer service 10/10

20/07/2025: Many teenagers make a lot of noise 🫤

10/07/2025: Recently popped in for 2 x fish & chips Curry sauce, garlic mayo and mushy peas. Fish was cooked to order, it has to be the best crisp batter, flakey beautiful fish I've had in a long while, proper chips ate in the lovely cork sunshine. Will be back!

03/04/2025: A hidden treasure in the city to grab a cup of coffee with a friend. Nestled in amongst the small shops at Winthrop arcade, Cocoa is a fantastic independent coffee shop to support in a Cork City.

08/01/2025: Always meant to visit this café and safe to say it will be the first and last. The café is cramped, tables outside but it's shared with another popular café and it's within a narrow hallway so it's not appealing. Café has an upcharge for dairy alternatives/plant drinks, predatory to those with dietary sensitivities. No toilet facilities on site. They claim their hot chocolates are made with 'real chocolate' but it was powdered chocolate. Gritty after taste and it was nothing special, for the price point we were expecting more. Tables were dirty, with some patrons clearing tables to get a table to sit at. Service staff were busy and were kind enough to bring out our beverages outside the shop as there isn't sufficient space to wait inside.

06/08/2025: Very nice place, large portions. Wonderful service, very friendly and helpful staff

18/07/2025: We discovered this place by chance while looking for dinner in Cork. It was a great success. The waitress (from Granada) was super competent (brilliant), the rest of the staff was equally so, the food was fantastic, and the atmosphere, with live traditional music, was brilliant. The prices were very good for the Republic of Ireland, especially considering the huge dishes. The cheapest pints of beer I've ever had, and I've had a few now...

18/06/2025: The usual welcoming craic..The big man was excellent with us

19/05/2025: Great bar, great beer, greatest dj I have ever seen. Really funny.

20/06/2025: Great place, great food, great craic, great music and great pints 👍🏻👍🏻

10/06/2025: Lovely pub. The inside is cute and welcoming, the staff is super nice. Outside they have a bigger area that is really nice and on Wednesdays they have the quizz, a blast. Definitely recommend coming over.

23/08/2025: The tropical smoothie is really good – refreshing and full of flavour. It’s a great option just outside UCC, especially with the bustling crowd adding to the lively vibe. The brownie is absolutely fantastic – rich, indulgent, and worth trying!

04/08/2025: Decent cafe, but serving a cappuccino in a paper cup is terrible when having it in the cafe. However, the staff were friendly and the cappuccino was quite good despite the awful paper cup. The atmosphere was really chill and there was the option to sit inside or outside. The seating was comfortable and it was overall fairly clean. They also have loyalty cards which is a nice touch.

09/08/2025: Lovely place for some fun: plenty of games and delicious cocktails.

08/07/2025: The Mardyke is a great place to have a fun night out in Cork. It has pool, bowling, an arcade, and so much more to offer. I come here the most often for pool, but I've also participated in karaoke pub quiz nights which are so fun. It's always a great time, the facilities are all clean and up-to-date, and it has a great atmosphere. The staff is great as well; Hayley is the best and always makes sure you're well taken care of!

23/07/2025: I got Lunch Sandwich Special here yesterday for a small party in my house Sndwiches, wraps & rolls...different variety of each...all very fresh tasty...and all enjoyed by my guests!!!Most asked where I got them and had no problem passing on details... Would highly recommend

09/07/2025: Staff are always lovely, food and coffee are great and very reasonably priced in comparison to other establishments in the Blackrock area. Really good selection of sandwiches, almost too good though, hard to make up your mind 🤣

19/07/2025: Excellent food, very tasty. Really enjoyed it 😋
