The best restaurants in Cork

09/08/2025: Food and Coffee was nice. What was brilliant was the service from Jess ( I believe her name was). She was very welcoming and kind. Atmosphere in the place was nice and chill too.

15/07/2025: Nice place, plenty of seating, friendly staff but over priced for what's on off

07/12/2025: Had a coffee this morning, coffee was good but service......not a hello, thank you or goodbye, so sad 😢

27/10/2025: I was in Cork for one day and found this spot on reddit. It was the best iced coffee I've had in Ireland in six months. Very good!

20/09/2025: I haven’t had coffee anywhere else but Costa for a long time, but I have to say this: your team is really very amateur. Maybe it’s not their fault, but they do everything wrong. I just wanted to let you know :) If you’d like, I can help you with this free of charge :) Because this is not normal.

29/08/2025: I've been a Costa customer for many years, especially this one. I often compare going to Costa for a coffee, or espresso, to going to church on Sundays. The difference is that it's become a routine here to go every day in the late afternoon, catch up with colleagues, and spend a couple of hours here at Costa. It has a beautiful terrace, and inside, there are many tables. The staff are all professionals, but they don't wait on tables. You can use the Wi-Fi, after all. It's a place to have a good time and a meeting point. I wish you the best of luck and many years of success.

26/09/2025: New Great Wall is our favorite Chinese take-away. The delivery people, first of all, are always so sincerely friendly and it's so clear they're not expecting a tip to the point of reluctance. Absolutely classy people. The food is always piping hot, even if it's delivered. I've let it sit for 10-15 minutes before I could get to it and the chips are still toasty. They're really on the ball. And the food is the best version of your classic European-style Chinese takeaway. If you like their version of things, and we do, you can't go wrong with their consistency, professionalism, friendliness and welcoming personalities. We never have a bad expeirence with New Great Wall.

20/07/2025: Ordered on just eat as a delivery Had to pay €1 extra because of incorrect display delivery fee Extremely salty to the point it’s not edibles ( would be nice if I did not have to pay the €1 extra and if they ease up on the salt )

15/09/2025: After leaving west cork early this morning and in need of a light snack 😋 I had a spiced beef sandwich on gloriously fresh bread. The native Barry's Tea to accompany my sandwich. Lovely little seats at the stall so ate and watched the world go by. Absolutely delicious food and a huge selection on display. I highly recommend. It's located within the historic English market which was rather busy so it was good to see that too.

28/08/2025: Lovely open air deli sandwich stall, seating included on the end comfortable cozy bar stools and foot rest. Wonderful staff caring attentive to orders and all ways ask how you’re doing. Would definitely come back again and again. Best sandwich’s in town 🥪🫶🏼

21/06/2025: Came in for a drink tonight and was met with arrogance from barmaid she was not polite to us but was very friendly to her regulars

04/06/2025: Cozy pub with friendly service and a good beer selection. I only had a drink here.

08/07/2025: Great place to go for a drink friendly owners and staff plenty of space there

08/07/2025: Over for the Celtic/Cork City bar and it's way too far out making a bit of a trek. Ok.

17/03/2026: Overpriced and doesn’t deliver to city centre.

19/02/2026: I would say the seat next to the window makes me feel great, food is just standard compared with other Chinese

28/09/2025: Great bar fantastic down to earth staff. Great place to go for a pint on your own or with friends.

01/09/2025: The bartender is a sight to behold! Effective and highly professional. We stopped by because it was on our way home and thought we'd have the "second to last" one. The atmosphere was masculine and, above all, older... But it was worth it.

23/11/2025: Saying it's the worst coffee of my life is a compliment because I call it coffee.

16/11/2025: I really like the coffee and the pastries. I am in love with the lemon pie and the pistachio cone. The staff is always cheerful and polite, which makes the experience even better. The only thing I would point out is to be a bit more careful with special requests. More than once I asked for a cappuccino with oat milk and received regular milk instead. Even so, I always come back because mistakes happen and I genuinely like not only the coffee but also the people. 😊

22/01/2026: Nice cosy room for ultimate lunch. I loved it. If apple pie was warm I'd give 5 stars

28/12/2025: If you are tired and hungry after visiting the castle and its giant garden, this place is perfect stop for refreshing lunch or dinner. They have traditional irish dishes including Irish stew. It was really well made and delicious and we really needed such a treat after spending hours walking around Blarney gardens in cold december day. Staff was friendly and service was super fast altough the place was almost full.

09/02/2026: I was here recently and I have to say that the service is poor quality, very late and sometimes grumpy waiters, I won't even talk about the food because the taco they served me was a pasta with cheddar and fries, which soon made my underwear dye brown.

04/02/2026: Nice bar with usually good bar staff. But watchout for south American bar boy with black dreadlocks and glasses. If you leave your drink on the bar unattended, when you return you will have a different drink in it's place and god only knows what he put in to it. It won't be what you originally ordered. ASK FOR ANGELA! Get bouncers and management to Check the cameras.

24/02/2026: I ordered a takeaway over the phone for collection. The man asked for my name, nothing else. He said it would be ready in 30 minutes. My husband went to collect the order and there was 4 crashes on the N40, when he arrived to collect the order he was 15 minutes late, and was met with an extremely rude and angry man who gave out to him for being late and complained about not having a number to call - when that was his mistake for not asking for a number. Even though I love the food from Raj - this would make me very slow to go back.

27/01/2026: Got a lamb madras, naan and house fried rice for takeaway and I was not disappointed. Portions were generous and the lamb was tender and delicious. Will defo order from here again 👌😋

11/02/2026: B+B wasnt that nice p pie was only ok

29/12/2025: Chips are probably the BEST I've ever had.. the amount you get for €5 is value for money. Highly recommended
