The best restaurants in Cork

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!

12/07/2026: Not recommended if it’s lunch time and you’re vegetarian. This place came in as recommended so we went there. They were out of breakfast options (at least the vegetarian ones) and out of four items in lunch menu, not one was vegetarian. And it’s weird as it’s 2026! Having said that, the staff was good. Limited seating space and most were takeout. ----------------------------------- Response to Owner's Comment: I didn't see B&D competing with Circle K, but if that's who you're competing with, then sure! Ratings are based on overall experiences, and it's okay if you don't agree.

27/05/2026: Ham and cheese toastie is good, lots of a sweet onion relish on it. Iced mocha tastes good but the cocoa mix didn’t mix in all the way so it’s grainy.

07/01/2026: Gluten free food here is amazing. I've eaten here a few times and got something different each time. 10/10 no matter what you get.

10/09/2026: john's fried chicken and foot massage is absolutely top tier 🔥🔥🔥

02/09/2026: The food was pretty decent, its fried chicken what do you expect, but when I finished eating it started raining red rain outside, only for a few seconds. Immediately after, a blue smiley face appeared above my waiter with a clock, and shortly after turned him blue! I will have to say as well I saw some zombies crawling around the place, wanting fresh meat? It was probably all in my head. Oh and right after I left the place I started running from my sins.

25/02/2026: Amazing drinks, fantastic vibe and ambiance, friendly bartenders! Nice quiet place for cocktails that are creative and delicious!

23/02/2026: Excellent cocktails in a vintage setting - very cute for a date night! No negatives, but it does get busy so go early!

26/06/2026: Lovely bar, friendly staff and locals. Had a pint there last night after the Lumineers...

14/06/2026: Absolutely AMAZING Thai green curry

13/05/2026: The service is truly exceptional, along with the staff, and there is no doubt about that. Additionally, the cuisine offers a genuinely exotic experience. The ambiance is pleasant, and the seating is remarkably comfortable.

18/07/2026: Excellent burgers. Good local atmosphere. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there.

17/07/2026: Beautiful pub nice staff great food.

10/08/2026: Best pint of Guinness in Cork hands down. Tom poured my pint, great guy and bartender. Great craic! What a legend!

19/07/2026: What's wrong with you to remove the sound of the world cup final 10min before the end??!! Completely ruin the atmosphere. Well done.

08/07/2026: Great place where to have a great dinner with friends, the prices are fare and food is great. Totally recommend it, I’ll definitely come back to this place!

23/05/2026: The food is delicious and the service is excellent. Thank you, Haseeb 🌸

27/06/2026: Why is the manager so angry??? Honestly the vibe I got was 100% violent. Wouldn’t want to cross her and WON’T be coming back in the future because of her. Scary 5/5. Vibes 0/5

14/06/2026: Great little spot close to where we were staying. Coffee very good, pastries are large and good value. Staff prompt and friendly. We sat on the terrace out back. Owners need to look at the balustrade at the top of the stairs. It’s in a dangerous condition so wouldn’t support someone’s weight if they didn’t notice it and leant into it.

26/08/2026: Cookies and ice cream was so tasty. Huge portions

20/08/2026: Brownie in the bottom of a milkshake that was supposed to not have any brownie in it due to an allergen kinda sucked, a shame as usually quite tasty

22/08/2025: shocking standards Since they closing down, raw chips , chicken burger dead dry and black inside meet , chicken wings black inside absolutely disgusting

15/06/2025: Lovely welcome firstly Very Child friendly Loads of parking Service was great and staff are lovely Food was top notch Will 100% return and defo recommend

23/06/2026: Great little oub, nice friendly people in there

18/03/2026: What a great place! A pensioner sat in the corner playing 70s greatest hits on vinyl while the best locals bobbed along to the beat or watched sports. They had Beamish Stout on tap from the brewery next door. My wife practically had to drag me out of the pub. Absolutely fantastic!
