The best restaurants in Cork

20/07/2025: I ordered the "kebab box" from this establishment and got a small box mostly filled with chips. I returned to the shop to tell them I didn't order chips and that chips were not in the description of the "kebab box" only to be told that of course chips are included in the kebab box. Doesn't seem logical to me, would avoid.

24/05/2025: The pepperoni pizza was of really good quality. As the pizza sauce had a nice, smoky flavour, which I liked. They weren't mean with the toppings, as there was plenty of cheese and pepperoni on my 10 inch pizza. The pizza was delivered on time and the two ladies delivering also were really kind, as they were smiling, which means that they have good service. I gave 0 starts for the atmosphere, as I got delivery and I haven't actually been to the restaurant, which will be unfair to rate it, so I just left it at 0 stars.

28/10/2025: Lovely place, very quiet and perfect for a coffee break. The only thing to improve would be the hot chocolate, a little lukewarm for my taste — it would be even better piping hot!

23/10/2025: I ordered the Falafel Wrap- the salad and the vegetables were stale and when I informed the staff they couldn’t care less. Would never recommend. 0/10

24/07/2025: Very good coffee is drunk here with some very good snacks, although everything is very good, breakfast, lunch and snacks, the competition is very fierce here in the city of Cork in relation to cafes and snack bars. A few years ago, you didn't see a cafe, so to speak!!! Now they are everywhere. What I mean is that this cafe called Noir has to create its brand, its specialty, so that people are interested and identify with it. I hope it stays open for a long time and I wish you the best of luck in its development.

24/07/2025: The coffee here is very good, along with some very good snacks. Although everything is very good – breakfast, lunch, and snacks – the competition is very high here in Cork regarding cafes and snack bars. A few years ago, you wouldn't see a cafe like this anywhere else, so to speak! Now they're everywhere. What I mean is that this cafe, called Noir, needs to create its own brand, its own specialty, so that people become interested and identify with it. I hope it stays open for a long time and I wish it the best of luck in its future endeavors.

23/10/2025: Seems to be only a haven for racist and fascist ideologies. Walking down the street, I took off a sticker for an openly fascist political party on a pole near the cafe. Almost immediately, three men ran out from the cafe, dressed in clothes that indicated they worked there. They screamed at me, threatened me, and intimated that they had put up the sticker. I have no idea if the owner holds these views or is aware that at least three people working there do so, but it certainly casts doubt on the cafe’s name and reputation.

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

10/08/2025: Felt like an authentic, home cooked meal!

28/07/2025: Very nice staff and yummy authentic biriyani..thank u

19/11/2025: Super bar. Came down from Belfast and a friend recommended this place - did not disappoint. Pints were great, staff were sound and I could have stayed for hours more for the music alone! Will absolutely be back again.

17/07/2025: Super place for a match, a chat, a laugh and one of the best pints of guinness in Cork! Great staff too!!

13/09/2025: Lovely food and good service. I enjoyed the Grilled Chicken; and the cheese cake was great!

05/09/2025: Ordered a steak wrap last night in douglas branch, about x2 strips of steak, more of a lettuce wrap really, not good value for money at all. Same thing happend before with a chicken wrap even orderd double! Both in take away experiences. I wont be going again! As its a waste of time and money. Still hungry.

21/11/2025: I really enjoy coming here for coffee and toast, it’s one of my favorite spots. Recently, though, I’ve noticed things seem a bit busier than usual. There’s often just one barista serving with a queue forming, and a few tables waiting to be cleaned, which made me leave the last two times I tried to stop by. It’s still a great place with great coffee; just wanted to share in case the team might be a bit short-staffed lately.

17/11/2025: The drinks and food are really good, but from what I’ve seen, the cafe is chronically understaffed. I often see trainee baristas left on their own to deal with long queues of customers. There are lots of opportunities here to improve service. There should be a minimum of two baristas at the counter.

04/11/2025: Usual McDonald's. Staff very kind

26/10/2025: Just about as good as you can expect from McDonald's anywhere excellent fast food service and great staff

28/09/2025: 4 weeks ago we had a fantastic experience here. Food incredible and very reasonable price.. Vegan gf options too. Staff super kind and very attentive. We went back again this evening and like before it was a great experience. Food, staff, all super good and very reasonable price. Best in Cork.

24/08/2025: Atmosphere is nice, staff pleasant, toilets clean and ice cream is lovely. Food is a disappointment. Far too much sauce, flavorings and salt. Completely overwhelms the taste of the ingredients

27/07/2025: Basic fare , mostly seafood menu, average pricing, friendly staff and bookings probably needed at peak as the restaurant not too big. People with reduced mobility won't have any problems.

25/07/2025: Ambiente in bella posizione, accogliente, personale attento e premuroso, piatti ben preparati e abbondanti, prezzi in linea col livello del ristorante in Irlanda

18/10/2025: I didn't even get to order food. It was 8pm and they were doing delivery until at least 11pm and they rejected my order like 3 times. And it didn't say that they weren't doing delivery

05/10/2025: Takeout only, really good pizza

18/06/2025: I was genuinely shocked by what I witnessed at Gym Plus Cork in Mahon Point during my recent visit. A female member was working out in what was essentially a bikini bra and shorts so short and see-through that her private areas were clearly visible as she walked around and during squats. This level of exposure is completely inappropriate for any public gym, and it created an uncomfortable atmosphere for others, myself included. Even more disturbing was the fact that there were adolescents present at the time. In my view, this goes beyond poor judgement — it amounts to public indecency, and I believe the Gardaí should be made aware. Gym Plus urgently needs to enforce a clear and reasonable dress code to ensure a respectful, safe, and professional environment for all members, including families and young people. This kind of negligence is unacceptable.

27/06/2025: One of the best Guinness and beamish in cork. Old man's pub nice pool tables bar men are sound.

22/04/2025: I had a great time at Old Reliable Irish Pub! I picked it off Google just wanting a quick pint, and I am so glad I did. It use to be a Mens only pub 20 years ago. I met the locals that were in there, they were awesome! Shout out to Con the bartender and Roy! Thanks for the great experience and conversation! - Missouri, USA near Springfield
