The best restaurants in Cork

04/05/2026: Got the Spicy Salt and Chilli Chips today and they had sugar on them, which I wasn’t expecting. When I called, I was told that’s just how they make them. I said it wasn’t for me and I wouldn't order that again, but got told, 'I could find them somewhere else, thanks' and she hung up the phone. Rang back and spoke with who I believe may have been the owner/manager and was told I basically shouldn’t be calling to complain, thats how they make them for the last 25 years . He felt she wasn't rude in how she handled the call as he was next to her. Fair enough if that’s their recipe, but the way it was handled wasn’t great.

25/02/2026: Truly A Feast For the senses. Never before have my tastebuds been so vigorously stimulated. My entire family still Crows about tss restaurant. Glory to the GWCR! Attached is a photo of the meal, and another photo of a satisfied consumer of this delicious medium (meal) 💨💨

09/03/2026: Great service, the food took a bit long. Had the kids waiting, tasted great none the less.

21/02/2026: Very nice food in there I will be going back again..

28/04/2026: Today me and my family of 5 get food poisoning from the meals we buy. We bought 2 kids happy meals and one double big tasty meal and single big tasty. The two things we all share was the single big tasty and fries. We are still in bad shape during I writing this.

11/04/2026: Staff are very helpful and accommodating, food is always to a great standard and hot

20/04/2026: Got a spice bag and it was dry, no veg, salty and stringy chicken

08/02/2026: Malaysian curry with egg fried rice was delicious! Honestly one of the top five curries I've had in my lifetime. So flavourful. Staff were super friendly

21/09/2025: Very unwelcoming staff. Food was sad and miserable. My pork roast was completely dried out, the rest of the food wasn't much better.

27/08/2025: Ate lunch here before flying out of Cork airport. We both ordered burgers. I noticed how quickly they came out and how fast other tables got their food too. I worked in hotels myself for years and that is not necessarily a good sign. The burgers themselves were ok but they seemed somewhat ready made. We both had upset stomachs by the evening time. I do not recommend. The staff and service were excellent. I can’t give more than 1 star because of the food issue.

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

27/03/2026: Restaurant quality with takeaway prices. Always super quick too. The pizza is fire and the calzone is amazing. Always great, huge shoutout to the delivery drivers too as well as the counter staff. Gem of a place really

31/01/2026: Hi I bought a pizza through deliveroo tonight and i received my order with a hair on it. I just want to know what they are going to do about that.

18/03/2026: I was waiting nearly 2 hours and then the delivery driver came and he was really disrespectful and tried to scam me of my money

20/12/2025: Absolutely disaster food.. regret why i ordered from here ..low standard food .. don’t understand english .. Ordered paneer tikka and they sent red sweet liquid curry .. bad taste

01/04/2026: Under new management, being renamed.

20/03/2026: seen photography students drinking here at nine in the morning. weird vibes all together.

03/04/2026: Some of the best burritos I've had, so good, I'm delighted to have tried it.

17/03/2026: Overall poor. Food quality summed up by the unmelted cheese for nachos

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.

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.

26/03/2026: Went on a relatively quiet day, it was Thursday around 7pm. There were only 3/4 other tables and there was more than enough staff to go around however they were quite rude, and were very consumed by their own conversations instead of checking up on the customers. We ordered a burger and pitta and received just that with a piece of chicken between it- there was no salad, no sauce the chicken was dry and underwhelming. The pitta itself tasted almost stale. Its a shame since we always love coming to roosters but have noticed over the last year or so that they just try to get the food out instead of actually cooking something worth our money. Hope they can find a way to improve their quality since we have all noticed that roosters douglas has become significantly quiet compared to the last few years.

26/01/2026: I have to say, I am very disappointed before I got food from There and was good about the Year ago tonight I collected food from there and I swear to God dog food taste better than that burger disgusting had Bite gave the rest to my dog. My dog didn’t finish it beef people stay away from it wasting money and time.

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

05/11/2025: Externally friendly staff. Nice to have a chat and a laugh with. Great tasting coffee and yummy treats. Thanks guys! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

11/10/2025: there is one guy that works there and holds the whole place up. He's been there for a long time now and I've seen him be the only consistent face there in the last three years. he is absolutely lovely and can't do enough for you , that's only reason you get a second star. for him alone. unfortunately , He wasn't there today when I went instead two employees with their back turned to me completely ignoring me when I asked for something for my order it was a no no sorry we don't have it and no didn't bother to look just NO! I love my other Starbucks this one is trash. the rude guy there today ... just NO

10/07/2025: Very clean and tidy, efficient and polite staff, dividers in place and a good range of items to choose from.

10/05/2025: Great cafe, excellent staff. Reasonably price, good variety.
