The best restaurants in Cork

31/08/2025: Best of luck to the new owners hopefully they have more respect to their regulars who came week in week out. Planned to come at 3 which was original planned for them to change to 6 pm and them refuse us at door because the lynches said it was too busy. They were well able to take my money when tumble weed was blowing across bar.

23/04/2025: My favourite Pub in town!!! Super friendly Staff!!! A warm and welcoming atmosphere, and a great selection of beers at fair prices. It’s always a pleasure to stop by! I do miss the Cotton Ball beers (hope it makes a return soon)! Overall, just a fantastic spot to relax and enjoy a drink.

20/07/2025: LO MEJOR. La pizza era increíble y el personal era tan agradable. Entramos para un pedido en persona y de alguna manera me las arreglé para perder un piercing mío. El personal lo encontró para mí y fue tan amable la noche. No podíamos habernos sentido más cómodos y la piazza estaba deliciosa. Lo revisaremos.

20/06/2025: the worst pizza I've ever eaten 😖

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.

11/01/2026: Great burritos, love the new hot and smokey sauce

30/12/2025: A great burrito all round. The staff are very nice and efficient. 10/10 would burrito again.

02/01/2026: Terrifying Security !!!! We chose this place for New Year’s Eve because we wanted to sit quietly with friends, have a few drinks, and chat. The atmosphere inside was lovely and I genuinely liked it. However, we were sitting outside while waiting for the rest of our friends to arrive. I ordered a beer, and when one of our friends arrived, we were chatting in our own language. At that point, the security guard outside told him that this was not a free house that it was his property, and that he could not sit there unless he was drinking alcohol. So our friend got up, ordered a drink, and we continued waiting and talking. One of our friends did not drink alcohol because he had to go to work later. Everyone else at the table already had drinks. Despite this, the security guard approached us and told him, “If you’re not going to drink, get out of here. You can’t sit here.” Our friend calmly explained that he wasn’t drinking because he was starting work, but the security guard rudely replied, “That’s not my problem. Get out of here, you can’t sit here.” When we questioned his behavior, he insisted he wasn’t being rude, claimed the bar was his property, and then told all of us to leave. As a result, we left without even finishing the drinks we had already ordered. This kind of behavior is completely unacceptable. We were simply a group of four friends who wanted to sit together, chat, and have a drink. Because of the security guard’s rude and discriminatory attitude, I will never return to this place.

21/12/2025: The bouncer Ger was incredibly rude to me and my friend. Wouldn’t want to repeat it. Wouldn’t recommend going here!

16/08/2025: We went for dinner and it was closed. Their website said they closed at midnight.

17/01/2025: Had a Irish ham, salad sandwich , which was fine and tasty. Also choose a spiced apple slice, equally as fine and tasty!

14/01/2025: We mentioned this bakery, in the ratings for the park. Really nice food and drink, it's just a shame we don't live closer, so we can go every weekend.

23/12/2025: I bought a chicken burger thing, and a chunk of lettuce was wrapped in someone’s long dark hair. I have short hair myself so that could not have belonged to me. Absolutely repulsive. Get your workers to wear hair nets. Especially the ones with longer hair.

07/12/2025: Chicken breast sandwich with cheese abd bacon meal was fabulous 👌

27/07/2025: Microwed shrimps, old bread. Not recommended

21/06/2025: The sangria is good! We didn’t try any of the food just went for drinks and the vibes were good

14/10/2025: The sushi is usually nice. The ramen is so bad. Sorry I hate saying it as the staff are really nice but no way would I return for the Ramen

28/09/2025: I ordered the pork and miso ramen, food was great and staff was lovely. I’ll be definitely coming back soon!

31/10/2025: Great value ..lovely chips and pies also spicey chips and veg .

23/09/2025: Great food great prices . Good service.

05/07/2025: BLT on sourdough is a thing of beauty.

13/03/2025: The service was incredibly pleasant. All the staff were very friendly and it really added to the nice atmosphere! I got the wrap of the day (teriyaki chicken wrap) and I devoured it. It was absolutely delicious. Would definitely come here again! 10/10

01/01/2026: On New Year’s Eve, we were deliberately ignored for over 10 minutes while staff happily served everyone who arrived after us. We only got any attention once we called them out on it. The service felt blatantly discriminatory — unless you’re Brazilian, don’t expect to be treated properly. The staff’s attitude was arrogant, dismissive, and completely unprofessional. Easily one of the worst bar experiences I’ve had. Save yourself the frustration and avoid this place altogether.
