The best restaurants in Cork

05/09/2026: Had a wonderful anniversary meal there , the staff were very accommodating to my requests and the food was excellent and the portions generous. Beautiful setting

12/08/2026: Food was not worth the price. 6 in group including 2 children. 10% service charge added at the end. This was not clearly highlighted and was ridiculous.

17/08/2026: I understand that people may not be in the mood and may be having a bad day, but this is not a reason to treat people because some may not hear or understand a word; this is not a reason to be biased towards people!

07/06/2026: I didn't like it , the salad was like plastic, chicken in salad was a gujon , it's like covering plastic salad with fried oil, sorry but not worth it, the tray with food slippery from oil, food has to be picked up by yourself and brought back and you have to slide yourself through all the narrow spaces between the customers. Not worth the money, it's better to get a sandwich in Tesco.

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. 🌟

11/09/2026: The burger and fries were almost cold.

27/08/2026: I got the new chicken Cesar burger and a side of chilli cheese fries it was so delicious and very well executed. 🙏💛

03/07/2026: The Sandwiches are really good and the intern Finn is a really nice and quick worker

02/06/2026: The place seems nice, but 2.20 euros for a black and white print is unbelievable. I went to print a label, was in a rush, and didn't check the price on the machine. When I looked at my card, instead of 20 or 30 cents, I saw 2.20. I went back, and another guy told me that was the actual price, even though I simply sent an email with one label. Anywhere else you pay 40 cents max for a print. I don't recommend it.

18/08/2026: Lovely chinese, sadly extremely hostile delivery driver on more than one occasion. Sad to see it

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

03/07/2026: Pouch eggs are amazing in that place. Atmosphere quite and peaceful. Service very nice and gentle. Compliments to Cheff

12/06/2026: Lovely garden store. Admittedly I mainly popped in for a cuppa as it was so close to home. The coffees and croissants are great. The meals on offer include light snacks and breakfast and lunch options, which look really great also. I brought my dog with me, however Dwyers do prefer that you only bring assistance dogs. I hope one day all dogs will be welcome. With their clientele being an older population each time I've visited, I know that many patrons would love to see dogs visit too. Maybe there could be a seperate entrance and exit point for the dogs 🥰 Thank you Dwyers for all the great coffees and chats ♥️

10/08/2026: The service was okay, the waiters were nice, but the communication between them was definitely not very good. Unfortunately, I had to send the appetizer back because it was inedibly salty. When it was taken away, I asked for another one, and in the meantime the main course was brought out. They took the main course back, then brought the appetizer again. After I finished, they brought out the same main course that they had already brought out once. I had a simple chicken breast with vegetables, and my wife had a sea bass. The chicken breast was particularly tasteless and only lukewarm. There was some potato croquettes on the side that were completely dried out and completely tasteless. The fish was also very salty. The food was very expensive for this poor quality. It was a huge disappointment.

08/07/2026: Its only ok. The food was nice but felt it was over priced. The quality was good but the flavors were not sensational. I would expect more given the price and vibe they are trying for. The service was very friendly but sadly incredibly inefficient and ineffective. It took almost over 30minutes to be served our first drinks. The food was a little more prompt however our last drinks never came at all even though we waited for them over an hour. We asked for a second bottle of water twice and it never arrived. It was a super hot day and I feel like the service should be more attentive to this particular fact. We sat outside on thr terrace on one of the lovely couches which was very comfy and wonderfully appointed. Lots of cushions and blankets for when it gets chilly. The views of the city were also lovely. Its definitely a spot for older people - over 40s, 50s etc. Not a spot for younger people, the atmosphere is a bit stale. The music was boring but I feel this is the vibe they are going for. Definitely not a fabulous place to enjoy a wine or a cocktail unless you are well into your middle age.

26/08/2026: A great place to eat. Great food. Loved the Irish cola

19/08/2026: It was my first time in Cork, and I came here after a friend recommended it. The avocado sourdough toast with poached eggs was absolutely delicious, and the coffee was excellent. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. I really enjoyed my visit and will definitely be back!

26/07/2026: Went there for dinner. Expected to get a great meal, but unfortunately the lack of professionalism from the staff destroyed the experience. We ordered a prawn ratatouille, crispy baby potatoes and a salad. No problem with the salad; however, they brought me two separate dishes instead of a prawn ratatouille, as the chef forgot that it was prawn ratatouille and not the plain one. Also, the potatoes came BURNED. They didn’t charge for the extra prawns on the side, but it wasn’t the dish I ordered; that made me enjoy it less. I would expect greater service in such a known restaurant. Also, the knives on the table were dirty; it was absolutely disgusting.

05/04/2026: Beautiful surroundings but was very annoyed to realise I had spent €26 on 2 margarita cocktails only to realise they were a premade shop bought mix and not made fresh at the bar. I can buy the same bottle myself for 20 euro. Complete rip off and deception to your clientele

24/06/2026: Stumbled across here, lovely food got the amber fire dish would recommend

16/06/2026: Chicken curry and sechuan beef banging the best Chinese take away I eat so far in Ireland. The ladie who take order super nice and kind. I’m Highly recommend this place to get munchies 🇨🇳🇨🇳🇨🇳🇨🇳♥️

30/07/2026: Very good night great atmosphere for the music looking forward to next Thursday

13/07/2026: great craic, fantastic place to watch the world cup and decently priced Beamish, I tried to order a creamy guinness as it’s what all of my friends back home in Boston told me to get when visiting the emerald isle, these plans were disrupted when the bar man, a lovely guy with a mod-look about him straight up refused to serve me unless i got a Beamish, i pleaded with him but he flat out refused and served other customers around me until i gave in and ordered a Beamish

15/07/2026: Omg I had the most amazing and delicious prawns bowl with rice and teriyaki sauce. And the lady in the counter serving with huge smile

12/07/2026: My daughter got a salmon poke bowl, and described as one of the best she had ever had. In fairness, the food was fresh, tasty and well-served. The staff members are friendly and helpful. I was surprised by how fast it was on a busy day. If it had a bigger portion of salmon, it would be fantastic.

20/07/2026: We recently ordered food from Heaven Pizza for our daughters party. Staff were so helpful and kind. We went for the Party Package 2 (6 x 16" pizzas, 4 x chips, 4 x goujons and 3 bottles of chosen drinks, and dips. Such amazing value for €110. They delivered to our house on the day and everyone complimented the food. We will definitely be going to Heaven Piza again. Thank you for all your help! 😊⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

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

20/08/2026: I got robbed, but i got free ketchup

16/08/2026: I really enjoyed my Pratai experience at the Marina Market. A nice menu, a very pleasant staff member. No fuss. No messing around. I had the groovy beef. Well cooked brisket, lovely crispy and fluffy chips with a lovely mushroom sauce. The Yorkshire pudding was a little soggy by the time I got to it but I can’t fault anyone but myself for that. A good portion of food and a nice overall experience
