The best restaurants in Cork

08/07/2025: The worst tiramisu I have ever had. The layer didn't go well. I felt more like eating a dry tiramisu with not properly layered with cream. And the coffee powder sprinkling was so bad. They use the same base for both biscoff and tiramisu.

03/07/2025: Absolutely amazing! Huge portions at a very low price, full of flavour and protein. One sandwich can feed a starving man! Friendly staff and great service in French Tacos– truly impressed. 🌟

16/11/2025: The nicest spice box I have ever had very timely delivery's and very affordable for what you get. I'd say there the best Chinese in cork

28/06/2026: I rarely write reviews but I feel I have to. I was in Cork with my partner for the weekend and stayed at the nearby hotel. Maureen's is a little pub on our way back from city center on John Redmond Street. Access is given after you ring a bell at the door. On Friday evening we tried it and were welcomed by a lovely lady. There were only three other people at the bar. We had a drink, chatted. All fine. Cosy place. Bit of music. Nice decoration. Lovely moment. This evening we passed by again and saw the door was open. We thought it might be for the week end. My partner suggested to go again tonight. We approached the door and saw they were more busy than yesterday. We were not even given the opportunity to ask for a table. Suddenly a very rude guy with glasses rushed toward me and indicated us the door with his arm. "We are full, the door should have been closed". We retreated outside and he just closed the door brutally without a word. A "Aw sorry guys, I am afraid we are full tonight" would have been appreciated. I put two stars as an average between yesterday and today. The way we were treated tonight is an absolute disgrace and it is our only bad experience in Cork. It is a small secretive pub were you need to be "let in" or connected, except maybe when they are not busy. It is not a commercial pub that welcomes you with open arms. More a local club house. Their pub, their choice, but they could be polite and show a minimum of respect.

12/06/2026: A beautiful, little local pub. The owners are super friendly. A really lovely atmosphere and quite different from what you’d normally expect from a pub. Definitely worth a visit.

09/06/2026: Great Drink on Tap, great atmosphere, great service and it has a great juke box. It's a local pub in the city, it has character and characters.

10/05/2026: An authentic Irish pub. No frills. Just authenticity

09/07/2026: Great place to visit with family and friends.

23/06/2026: Terrible place waited 50 minutes for food , then told it would be another 30 minutes,

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

03/08/2026: Food delivery usually takes 2hours.

04/07/2026: Never been here but love looking at the door from Henchy’s!

28/09/2025: The Imperial Hotel is a classic Irish hotel with plenty of charm. My room was comfortable and fairly spacious, and I especially liked the bathroom interiors; they had a nice touch of elegance (wish I’d remembered to get a video of them!). 🛁 That said, my room was located in the basement, with a view directly into other rooms, which wasn’t the most inviting. At €220 per night (without breakfast), the value felt a little off for what was offered. The big plus here is the central location, it’s right in the heart of Cork, making it really easy to explore the city. Overall, a decent stay if location is your top priority, though there are a few trade-offs. Ratings: 🛏️ Room Comfort & Design: 3.5/5 🛎 Service & Ambience: 4/5 💸 Money’s Worth: 3/5

22/09/2025: Posh historic hotel in the centre of Cork, with a great restaurant, Helena's. Staff were friendly and knowledgeable.

19/06/2026: Just got takeaway.everything was lovely.girl behind counter great worker doing it all herself.will def be back.

07/03/2026: (Traducido por Google) La comida es muy agradable (Original) Food is all ways so nice

31/05/2026: Brilliant staff and atmosphere in this shop. A special mention to Shane, who was incredibly friendly, professional, and helpful. He greeted customers with a smile and went out of his way to make sure everyone was looked after. It’s always nice to come across staff who genuinely care about providing great service.

11/06/2026: I enjoy this Starbucks a lot. It’s busy but not usually overcrowded. Although if you want to work on your laptop for a couple of hours it can be hard to get a table as it’s very popular for that. Lots of space. Great staff. Car parking available. Close to retail parks and shopping center.

12/04/2026: Great view. Nothing else …awful coffee for what’s suppose to be a prominent coffee house!

24/07/2026: Not your traditional Japanese restaurant. Such a great atmosphere and the food was to die for.

04/07/2026: Amazing food. This is authentic Japanese restaurant with everyday dishes. Nice vibe to the restaurant and lovely staff. Really nice staff. The quality of Provence if all ingredients was great. Nice quality of tofu and great duck . Sobha nodules really nice. Great value.

13/07/2026: Just want to say how amazingly helpful and kind Maria was today when my dog got loose, she went above and beyond to help as she usually does in this shop, but unfortunately the manager Victoria and her horrible attitude and the way she spoke to not only Maria but also the gardai that were called (because of the dog), the gardai and someone from an animal rescue that came to help all said how badly Victoria’s attitude was and when I got there and went inside to thank Maria, she was visibly upset, not the first time I’ve heard bad things about that particular manager, but Applegreen are very lucky to still have Maria especially when so many staff have left since Victoria became manager. Thanks again Maria

10/06/2026: Very helpful staff, particularly the red head lady, very bubbly, professional and kind.
