The best restaurants in Cork

12/07/2026: Was in Mr. Bradleys for a friend's birthday and said I'd call into La Tana to get some pizzas for my partner and I. I'd never had anything from La Tana but had heard great things and was excited to try it. When I got into the shop, I went up to order, but the person at the till cut me off and asked if I had cash, i said no, she told me to order online. So, WHILE IN THE SHOP, i had to download an app and order off of that. I watched this happen to several people after me. It would have taken less time for the person at the till to take my order than it did for me to download the app and pay through that. I understand if it's a cost saving measure, but given the price of the pizza, it doesn't appear to be having an affect. To the pizza itself, it was fine, but €23 for a 12" pizza is crazy. I justified it as a once off but to be honest, between the experience ordering and the price, I think I'll just be deleting the app again, because I won't be rushing back.

26/06/2026: One of the best pizzas in Cork!

06/04/2026: Good food, extremely slow and disorganised pick up service if you order online better off just ordering in person

07/03/2026: Delivery driver just passed my place in togher to go to the airport and then back to me weird

15/07/2026: Busy location with plenty of car parking outside. Great range of food options, nothing hot and cold, inside with seating areas on the ground floor and upstairs. Polite, efficient and friendly staff on site. The seating area has been extensively upgraded recently, nice layout, well done.

28/06/2026: Have no idea had to leave again a woman was using the bulk return as were we she had loads of bags (as you shoul) but each one was also jammed with plastic glasses paper straws blue roll the metal parks of the drinks bottles blue roll. The machine kept breaking down obviously and the worker just kept fixing it for her instead of explaining not to be putting that stuff in. So we left id prefer to manually put my cans in 1 by 1 then deal with that level of stupidity.

23/05/2026: Best Chinese food in the north side

07/12/2025: Superb. Ambience, festive decor. Amazing team. Warmest welcomes with smiles. Beautiful setting. Incredible menu, food choice & cocktails. Family birthday celebration for my husband with his sisters down from Dublin. Busy spot always. Booking advised. All round venue for scones & Tea, breakfast, luncheon and evening meals. Classy venue.

07/11/2025: Table quiz on Wednesday. Super fun.

12/03/2026: Good coffee and really cool building

15/02/2026: Love this cafe , very spacious and a good queuing system, great variety of cakes and sandwiches. Staff are friendly and helpful. Has ample seating outdoor s. Situated right in the heart of ballincollig shopping centre entrance.

07/08/2026: Best Margarita I have ever had....and I have had quite a few. Ask for it "extra spicy".

06/08/2026: Its ok some times we get trublr

30/07/2026: Open space, takeaway coffee cups only

22/03/2026: Pretty sure it's illegal to serve food and drink in a place with seating and not have any access to a toilet? Definitely illegal to not have a toilet for your staff even. Staff also seemed very young and unsupervised, and weren't practicing basic hygiene. Weren't wiping the old milk off the coffee machine steam wand at all, which if you know anything about working a coffee machine, you know is absolutely disgusting.

15/07/2026: A quiet, spacious place to enjoy a good cup of tea in the best company.

12/07/2026: Nice cafe to hangout if you want to take a break from all the walking in the downtown. We went for an Iced Cherry Matcha with Coconut Milk (staff favourite), an Espresso Con Panna (espresso with whipped cream) and a Grilled Cheese. Not exactly impressed with the staff favourite. Espresso Con Panna was good. Grilled Cheese was fine. The staff was nice and friendly. A good amount of seating options but can fill fast on a busy day. But surely worth visiting.

19/06/2026: The staff was very friendly anf accommodating. Our room was nice and clean. However washcloths were not provided and neither was lotion. For the price I found amenities lacking

03/06/2026: Not great. First family room we were put in did not have a functioning air conditioning unit. The tv also didn’t work correctly. The next room was better but still seemed like the quality didn’t match the price. The restaurant downstairs needs a lot of work. The food was poor and the service was even worse. Thought the 2.7 stars it was rated on google was an exaggeration but I would say it was close to 2.5. Won’t be staying again.

02/07/2026: We had our Summer Party here just last weekend. Just wanted to share what amazing hosts Goldbergs were to us. Food was incredible and atmosphere was second to none. Thank you to everyone at Goldbergs for making our night what is was. We will definitely be back next summer. Pat and everyone at Alpha Automation.

21/06/2026: Went here for a drink at 7.30pm on sat evening before Zach Bryan concert. We must have hit it when there was a lull. Nobody was waiting for a drink at counter. Yet the bar lady was so rude. Service and quality was severely compromised. It was a bad start to our evening.

18/04/2026: Great preformance by ryan gosling. A long film but i managed to stay engaged throughout. Thank you

16/03/2026: Arty's bar is the place to go in ballincollig for a great pint, great atmosphere and live music. The customers range in all ages and nationality and are always up for a chat and a laugh and are only bettered by the staff that work there. Seamus, Aiden and Deirdre give a great welcome and even better service. This is one of the few real pubs left in ballincollig that are not trying to be something else.

27/04/2026: Great lunch and pint of Beamish! 👍

18/04/2026: Didn't have food was at the live music lovely staff and great atmosphere will call again

11/04/2026: Milkshakes were nice but the rest was only ok.

09/04/2026: It was a wonderful experience—both the food and service are truly top-notch. I had a crispy chicken burger, and it was excellent: perfectly crispy on the outside with tender, juicy chicken inside. Such an awesome spot and definitely a must-visit. I’ll 100% be coming back again the next time I’m in Cork.
