The best restaurants in Cork

06/07/2026: It felt like home! So many friendly people. Service was excellent! Very relaxing space to unwind from a busy day.

15/06/2026: Great music Saturday! And free pints 😀

03/09/2026: love this place so much, always great crowd, always the best time. so disappointed with the service tonight, very snarky bartender. she talked down to us after we questioned our half filled drink. it had been served in a different glass but that wasn’t the issue, just the attitude.

20/08/2026: I went in with a few mates and I ordered a drink and they asked for my ID as to which I gave them and they took a look at it then looked at me then told me to go somewhere else even tho the ID clearly looks like me. I added the photo of my ID and a photo of me just to prove it was definitely me in this complaint

14/04/2026: The " Mahon Point Food Court " Is Very Unique But However The Atmosphere Is A Bit Crowded But Somehow The Atmosphere Is Great Not To Bad & There Isn’t Really That Much Large Crowds But The Service Is Also Helpful & Great The Staff Are Helpful & Very Easy To Communicate With The Food Is Not That Bad But It Is Great The Overall Service Of The " Mahon Point Foodcourt " Is Fine

08/03/2026: Typical food court, but the cleaning staff have to be complimented on doing a difficult job well. Also toilets are always spotless. However, very little (if anything) has been done there to properly segregate disposable food containers. For example- NO paper cups should be allowed into the general waste bins. The centre could lead the way in terms of recycling - but it hasn't tried anything like that yet

08/06/2026: Fantastic clubhouse, bar and training facilities.

07/06/2026: Excellent facilities except bar personal need to speed up very slow kitchen was very fast with food after ordering but bar oooh

18/11/2025: Very good prices. I've been going to akira for a while now, when I want some comfort food and something that is not that expensive and fancy. The girls upstairs are amazing and give you a proper japanese experience. There are some amazing dishes like the ramen, it's not that easy to find a heavy and comfy ramen like in Akira. Usually I feel Japanese restaurants have become something superfancy that don't make you feel like home. Everything is about the rules and about expensive sushi, but Akira goes beyond that. Akira takes the typical Japanese experience and brings it to your table for a really good price. To put an example the sake is something that goes for 40€ minimum in most japanese restaurants. If I remember right, you can have bottles of Sake for less than 25 euros in Akira.And even Wine. But not only focusing on the prices .Overall Akira has made me feel like the place to go, when I'm not sure what I want and never failed for a second. Thanks to all the staff.

30/10/2025: Delicious Japanese food, super friendly service, and a sensational atmosphere; for anyone who enjoys Asian cuisine like me, this restaurant is an excellent choice!

26/08/2026: I’m a student so I’d be here often during the school year. There are tonnes of options on the menu in Green Frog, so quality varies from poor to very good in terms of drinks. Most of which being decent to very good. My favorite being the iced coffee, and my least favorite being the hot chocolate. It’s comfortable enough in there, I wouldn’t spend hours and hours studying in there, due to the lighting and foot traffic of the cafe. Overall decent, nice spot to chat with friends after class.

29/07/2026: The matcha is OK, nothing extraordinary, but I like the vibes here.

29/08/2026: Best pizza in cork so thin crispy and still a good bite , I have been getting novacento the past 15 years and its the only thing in cork what you crave is exactly what you get no disappointments 15 years and counting

02/08/2026: Amazing pizza and lovely people 😁

26/08/2026: I ordered a matcha and the taste was horrible. I said to them, and in a normal place they would offer to change for another drink. But after ordered a cappuccino, they come to say me that I need to pay. Very disappointing and lack of accountability for the taste.

15/08/2026: Healthy and tasty food, efficient service, it's a shame the music was too loud.

27/08/2026: Honestly not impressed with the quality, quantity,and the price for the 4 star was nuts. I wouldn't pay that in other 5 star hotels in the same county which I have worked in and stay in so am talking from experience. Staff were great,no complaints there

20/08/2026: Absolutely loved The Glasshouse. The interior is stunning — stylish, elegant and very atmospheric, with a beautiful bar and great views. The food was excellent. We especially enjoyed the pizza and the cheese board, and the cocktails were fantastic — beautifully presented and very well made. Service was friendly and attentive, and the whole place has a really nice relaxed but upscale feel. Definitely one of those places where you can comfortably spend an evening enjoying good food, cocktails and the atmosphere. A great experience from start to finish. We’ll definitely be back!

10/07/2026: We had Rachel as our server for our food and drinks and she truly went above and beyond!! She recommended drinks that were fantastic and we all really enjoyed her service and personality! Truly such a lovely experience and it was only made better by Rachel. Would highly recommend this place to everyone!!

08/07/2026: Amazing service from the beautiful blonde waitress who also made unbelievable cocktails! 10/10 would recommend

23/08/2026: Great big bar. Huge variety of beers and spirits. Live music at the weekend.

20/07/2026: Attended an engagement party & never seen so much unnecessary stress brought on the host by the venue. Complete lack of communication from the venue for weeks while she was trying to get simple responses about requests. Details changing last minute after no communication between staff about starting/finishing times for music, tables being reserved for other parties after different information had been given to the host. Very unorganised. Once party had been booked host was then informed that the music outdoors had to be stopped early due to residents this should have been reiterated earlier to her. To then be told you cannot reserve tables inside so people can go enjoy music indoors. Food organised from venue next door Ended up feeding another party that was also outdoors so more money had to be spent on food last minute? Just completely avoidable misinformation being based between staff and the host

22/08/2026: We had a wonderful experience at Sliced today. The staff was so attentive and accommodating with our 8-month-old and helped us know a birthday surprise. The food was fantastic as always. I enjoy their pasta and pizza dishes. Very likely the best restaurant in Ballincollig. Thank you.

11/08/2026: Big fan of sliced for its pizzas and friendly staff and homemade pizza dips!
