The best restaurants in Cork

21/07/2026: Update 1st December 2024 Thankfully they have improved their ordering method and if you would like you can order at the till to avoid their scan and order method. Unfortunately I was disappointed with my order today. I ordered a spicy rice bowl with two chicken thighs and I was served spicy rice bowl with a flavourless chicken breast. At very first day (somewhere in July) their food was nice, but later we felt that they are not as ,good as it was. Their online ordering system is a hassle. Nandos free WiFi is very slow and it takes more than 20mins to place an order or impossible to place an order via their online system. We get to starve before we get our food everytime we visit there. So, we try to avoid this place now.

11/07/2026: Ive been to Nandos a few times now and I usually have good experience with the staff. There is a lady with black hair and glasses and she comes off as rude to the staff. There is another man Noham I think, I only got a glimpse of his name tag and he is passive aggressive. I hope they can fix this as Nandos is a lovely place.

01/08/2026: got my car washed there today a young lad with a baseball hat + black t.shirt. when he was washing it he just used the sponge on the windows + around the booth. didn't use it for Any other part of the car. he just dipped the brush in around the wheels. he washed it off good.

03/08/2026: Delicious sandwich… soup watery a little disappointing. Staff wonderful but under huge pressure. Behind the counter a little messy … tea towel behind counter hanging off the oven looks clean but discoloured. Could do with more staff. V noisy & music loud!

28/07/2026: I'd definitely recommend this fabulous hidden gem of a cafe in Douglas Court. The food is just so fresh and real and I always feel energised after eating here. I love their protein balls, scones on occasion, lunch options such as various chicken sourdough sandwiches and halloumi flatbeeads which are served on their own or with a soup or salad option. Their new coffee is fab too. So whether you are catching up with a friend, want the watch the world go by or are taking a break from.your busy day, definitely pop in. Great snacks, drink options, breakfasts, smoothies, lunches and more. They carry an array of healthy tasty foods and drinks Mary Carmody Nutritionist

02/08/2026: Giving service less stars as there is no nutritional value on the labels

17/06/2026: The pastries were very good and the prices were very reasonable.

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.

07/09/2026: A great place to enjoy its terrace on a sunny day.

04/09/2026: Very disappointed with food portions 11e

03/07/2026: Little gem of a place. Worst thing is, making up your mind on what to have. Lucky I don't live near it. I'd be there every day.

17/06/2026: The best bakery in town, hands down!The sourdough bread is absolutely top-tier—perfectly crusty on the outside and airy on the inside. You can really tell they use traditional methods. Everything is baked fresh, and the staff are incredibly warm and welcoming.It is the perfect spot for a morning coffee and a treat. Cannot recommend this place enough!

05/09/2026: Lively traditional Chipper. Always busy and closes about 9pm. Great choices and the Looney Burger is a really great double burger.

25/07/2026: really friendly staff by far best chipper only one i would go to definitely recommend it to anyone looking

02/08/2026: If coffee is important to you, drive on. Something is really wrong with the coffee, how can it be so nasty tasting. Cheap, burnt beans mean that I won't be back. Cop yourselves on, it's not the 80s anymore.

29/07/2026: lovely friendly staff always so helpful

05/07/2026: Quaint little wine bar, feels like someone's living room, warm service, great wines, highly recommend for a chilled evening in the heart of the city

21/06/2026: This is one of the hidden gems in Cork. It was a place that I was recommended by a friend. I had never heard of the place. When I went it has a chill atmosphere. The prices are very reasonable. A must visit for a nice glass of vino.

10/05/2026: Had the most amazing Roast & Warm Korean Chicken Salad. Great service & lovely staff

02/05/2026: The waiters are "dazed", the rest are more or less fine.

01/05/2026: They will take joining fee then you have to stay for 3 months if you want to try the gym. Then they will lie about cancellation fee when asked to cancel the membership (possibly due to lack of their own policy knowledge). Took them 2 months to fix the leg extension machine. Staff is friendly but misguiding. The gym itself is mediocre.

07/04/2026: Well equipped gym with sauna, very clean facilities. Great variety of classes all included in your membership. Staff and the atmosphere is amazing. PT, workout plan whenever you need it 💪 Guys you are doing an amazing job ❤️ Thank you 😊

06/08/2026: Lovely place to visit for a cuppa, staff are very friendly and helpful, service is great and welcoming. Large selection of cakes and confectionary.

14/07/2026: Very good definitely will go again😋
