The best restaurants in Cork

08/08/2025: There was hair in my daughters ice cream.

23/07/2025: Very nice place 👍 excellent hamburgers. Nice atmosphere and warm welcome.

21/11/2025: One of the top Chinese in Cork City, great food great staff and reliable prices

25/10/2025: Spice bag with 5 bits of batter. Could not call it chicken. 11.50 for basically a bag of chips. RIP OFF

13/10/2025: Great mid-week deals. Altough the quality of food has dropped in recent times, especially the chicken wings for the deal on Wednesdays. Hygiene needs improving also, the tables are sticky from dirt and poor cleaning, door handles are filthy, and the bathrooms are disgusting!

08/10/2025: Getting food intoxication from fries was a new experience. Pubs who can't cook shouldn't

09/11/2025: Got asked at the food window about my order, I said "Yes", they gave 5 words of attitude in return. So in return they ain't gonna be getting my future money. Save yourself the hassle and just go to the Mackies in Midleton instead they got nicer staff anyway. just put my fries in the bag bro 💔🥀🥀

01/11/2025: My own experience of my local McDonald’s restaurant has been alright up until recently. It was then revealed to me by a worker there that, despite making assurances to the contrary, McDonald’s is involved both directly and indirectly in both ecocide and genocide. This has permanently altered my experience of dining here. The damage is done and I won’t be returning.

25/10/2025: Coffee was nice to be fair ,but the staff are horrid ! I bought 2 capuchinos and one latte from the cafe Marius .As I was drinking my coffee me and my mother pulled out a muffin we had from earlier (to match to me coffee I just bought ) I got screamed at by the staff that it’s not allowed to bring personal food even tho I bought 3 coffees from them just 2 mins earlier.Disgusting attitude

05/06/2025: Had the beef stew cooked to perfection reasonably priced will be back

26/08/2025: Great pub to see matches and to grab pints with large groups of people more than 10 its very large space to accommodate that large groups. Vast selection of beers from stouts to lagers to ciders. There is big screen to watch your favourite sports.

18/07/2025: Popped in because we heard live music. Had a quick pint of Storehouse lager, not our favorite but needed to try it. Open space bar, more modern with the TV and projector so i guess it depends what you are looking for

21/08/2025: I ordered the salmon eggs Benedict with a glass of orange juice on my first visit to this restaurant. Walking in, I was impressed with how lovely the place looked. The décor is modern and stylish, giving it a welcoming atmosphere that makes you want to sit and enjoy your meal. The staff were pleasant and polite throughout my visit, though I did feel they could have been a little more attentive at times. Nothing major, but small details, like checking in more often or being quicker with service would have made the experience feel that bit smoother. As for the food, the eggs Benedict was nicely presented and the portion size was just right for a brunch dish. The salmon was fresh, and the eggs were cooked well, though personally I found the overall flavour quite salty, which took away slightly from the enjoyment. The orange juice was delicious and tasted freshly squeezed, but at €4.50 for a small glass, it did feel overpriced compared to the rest of the meal. Overall, it was a pleasant first experience. I’d recommend.

17/05/2025: Lovely menu here always enjoyable, however can’t say the same about the staff. Last three visits they have been strangely rude, so much so that I don’t think I will be returning.

02/10/2025: I was there last night. We didn't know they closed the door at 6pm there was still a queue, so we popped in to grab our coffee. The stuff didn't say anything they will close the shop. There were still a few ppl inside. Anyway, we grab our coffee and sit down on the table, and then the boy named Jose or a very similar name starts screaming "guys we are closing," in a very rude way. We were actually kicked out. The coffee was disgusting. Milk was burnt order were wrong. Was actually a very bad experience. I definitely will not go back there!!

19/08/2025: Outstanding service and very friendly workers all you want see, people full of energy and the customers not wanted wait to much time, it’s like a production line never stop or if something wrong happens only with machines a part of that Starbucks keeps rolling, Starbucks franchise is one of the best you can get is half away for success.

08/07/2025: Over for the Celtic/Cork City bar and it's way too far out making a bit of a trek. Ok.

08/07/2025: Great place to go for a drink friendly owners and staff plenty of space there

15/10/2025: Even when it's busy (and it can be quite busy), the staff always take the time to fill the burrito to a high standard. Also, they are always friendly and at times I can see they're under pressure but they are very patient and friendly with kids. My 5 year old loves it, and he only wants burritos from Zambrero so I put that down to the friendly atmosphere the staff create. Also, I never had an issue with the food, they're generous with the fillings and we do leave full and satisfied and as my son says...."it's Delicious".

30/09/2025: Crazy prices for mediocre food. I got a large burrito with double beef, cost me €17 and I was struggling to find the beef. Absolute joke!

23/11/2025: Saying it's the worst coffee of my life is a compliment because I call it coffee.

16/11/2025: I really like the coffee and the pastries. I am in love with the lemon pie and the pistachio cone. The staff is always cheerful and polite, which makes the experience even better. The only thing I would point out is to be a bit more careful with special requests. More than once I asked for a cappuccino with oat milk and received regular milk instead. Even so, I always come back because mistakes happen and I genuinely like not only the coffee but also the people. 😊

07/11/2025: Can't fault it. From the entrance, the members of staff were all very kind and very funny, engaging with us and not just treating us like another average person.

03/10/2025: Fidd was grand, nothing wrong with it, but nothing special either! One chicken burger and 1 vegan burger, both with chips and bit of mixed lettuce on the side. Very quiet Friday lunchtime in there, due to excessive rainfall outside. Helpful, friendly staff.

24/05/2025: Surprisingly big bar. Very pleasant staff. Went for a staff night out and had a great time. Great party venue

28/01/2025: Highly professional set up from the moment you enter the door. Fabulous people to deal with. Five star all the way. Paul Ryan.

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 😖

26/09/2025: We've gone to Soba in Blackpool regularly since we moved to the area four years ago, and we've never once had a bad experience. The food is top value for money and always consistent, which makes all the difference in the world to my partner, who is on the spectrum. The atmosphere is relaxed yet elegant and professional. And the staff are just wonderful. Sincere, mindful, on the ball. Our four year old insists on coming with me when we pick up food - or sit in - to say hi to Andy and his fellow staff, to pet the wobbling cat ornament on the counter, and no doubt, because I can't remember the last time he didn't walk out of there with a complimentary lollipop or hand full of candy. Fabulous restaurant in every way.

25/08/2025: Terrible experience. This was my fourth visit to the place and I have to say today was the last one.We went for lunch today and we found the entire staff sitting and eating.The man who took our order was constantly getting up to bring drinks and food and then sitting down to eat again.While he was takin our order he was very impatient. This is very unprofessional.We got the wrong drinks order. Looking at him eating we didn't even bother complaining. I work in the restaurant for more than 20 years and I really understand the restaurant dynamic and that the staff needs to eat but paying customer shouldn't be involved in the process.
