The best restaurants in Cork

25/10/2025: Really friendly staff, delicious food and reasonable prices!

12/10/2025: Went to the Brasserie Bar, and it was great. The vibe was just okay, initially I felt a bit bored. But the service made me really happy, especially thanks to Aisling and Vitor. They were amazing, so friendly and made me feel comfortable. They truly made the night easy and fun.Definitely a go-back spot for a drink and a good chat!

19/09/2025: Clean, prompt, good vibe, easy interaction. I'm a fusspot who always makes my own breakfast, and the lady was 100% there for that and everything came out perfectly. Great place for a nice traditional breakfast, 100% happy with the experience.

05/09/2025: A true Irish pub, this one can say is 100% Irish. Irish food is served here, and of course, a full Irish breakfast. I can tell you, after a full Irish breakfast, you don't need food for the rest of the day, but it all depends on how much money you intend to spend. Birthday parties are held here; the pub is huge, so you can do whatever you want.

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.

27/03/2026: Either the best or worst burrito in your life and there’s no way of predicting which it’ll be. Nothing to do with the staff though I just think there might be an issue with the supplier of the beans or meat sometimes?

24/03/2026: Honestly not great by my books. First of all expensive for what you get. I got a steak burrito, the beef was dry and chewy. I accidentally paid for 2 extra fillings which I can't even remember what they were as they made little change to the flavour profile. Nothing really came together as a whole and I was left with a big wrap which was cold in parts and lukewarm in others and none of the flavours really came together. Imo, if you drop €14 on any single item it should probably knock your socks off. Won't be back.

21/04/2026: Good staff. Fast service. Accurate order

31/03/2026: Had a bulk order with Dominoz Black Pool. Binny, Sujan and Jacob helped to arrange and manage seamlessly. Also the pizza were enjoyable! Good work to the Team!

02/12/2025: Visited Dinky Donuts last week and ordered a crepe with lemon and sugar. I wasn't greeted politely and the woman with the shaved head working there, she barely even looked at me. Then I watched her make the crepe without gloves?? And she had her finger at the top of the lemon juice bottle, which to me personally is pretty disgusting. Having all my food handled by someone without gloves honestly made me more sick than hungry, so I didn't even end up eating the crepe unfortunately. I think this is strange because a few weeks before a lovely staff member made time and effort to greet me and was wearing gloves whilst handling everyone's food despite how busy it was, and my order came out delicious. This time it just felt lazy and rushed, and also there was a very big lack of health and safety :/

08/11/2025: Maybe it is our fault for trying crêpes from a doughnut shop, but the crêpes had barely any toppings on them. We ordered lemon and sugar and there were so little toppings that it was like we were eating plain crêpes. I will say I have previously had the doughnuts and they are very generous with the toppings. Just wish that the crêpes were the same for €6.50.

22/12/2025: What was not to love! Great choice of lunch items, hot and cold. Great personable staff. Comfortable and laidback vibe. Parking outside the door. Might move to 5 ⭐ on my next visit when I've had the chance to sample more than a tasty, toasted sandwich and checked out the toilet facilities. Dec '25 back again. Enjoyed a seasonal ciabatta. Lovely staff again. Toilet facilities ok, not great in terms of cleanliness but it may have been just before a mid service clean to give them the benefit of the doubt.

17/12/2025: One great place badly needed in the area. The staff are extremely helpful and pleasant.. they do delicious sandwiches and homemade cakes. They sell their coffee by the bags. It’s got a nice atmosphere and they do great coffees .

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.

11/02/2026: Last time I ate here was nice, tonight I returned to have a quick bite to eat he took my order at the counter price was ok. I told him that's for sit down. He said there's a price difference I said ok thinking maybe one or two euro. He started adding it up and I said no way. No wonder there was no one else eating in there talk about putting yourself out of business

06/12/2025: The food here is amazing I love the crispy fried beef and the beef fried rice - worth going out of your way for!

14/09/2025: Such a lovely atmosphere. Wine was fantastic. Lovely vibe with the candles and music. Absolutely no complaints.

10/08/2025: Wonderful wine bar, been a favourite place of mine for years. Fantastic wine list, lovely atmosphere and the hosts are always so welcoming.

09/11/2025: Great value and the best vegan chicken satay!

23/10/2025: No hate but why did our 4 in 1 look like this. Chicken was bad too I almost choked it was like play dough

07/05/2026: Id say it's one of the nicer mcd's only issue is location hard to reach and teenagers around causing trouble time to time

03/05/2026: A normal establishment by the road, stop in for a bite to eat, there is parking, everything is okay 👌

27/04/2026: I have been to many kfc all over ireland l, but kfc cork was special experience. Hot food, good service and Dona was polite.Overall good experience 👍👍

03/04/2026: Hi, we came to your store today to find out if you are halal, your staff couldn’t advise us as they didn’t understand, please can you advise if you are halal, thanks.

29/04/2026: The sausgues were brunt but I didn't mind, when me and my mam got to our seats (the high up ones) there was crumbs and food left on the ground. The staff were very kind and nice though. But I do prefer the old Wilton restaurant.

22/04/2026: Visited "new" wilton bar. One word..disgusting. The food was reheated, dry, tasteless. I got vegetable soup that had a thick layer on top. Service was very abrupt. Could tell has not had hospitality training. New refurbishments have takes away from the charm of the wilton bar. No atmosphere. Pity
