The best restaurants in Cork

29/07/2025: Avoid. Low quality coffee for high prices. Very greedy

13/07/2025: Good coffee and good service! 😍😍

30/08/2025: Genuinely the nicest food I have ever had and I am fond of food. It was phenomenal from start to finish. The staff were very friendly and highly knowledgeable. Lovely atmosphere, ticked all the boxes. Will most certainly be returning!

13/08/2025: Really innovative and delicious Japanese food with great prices given the standard.

01/09/2025: V good food, holds up to the four star name 😃

28/08/2025: Pizza is really good..Loved chocolate brownie cookies…will visit again

17/12/2024: Just got 2 snack boxes. Both of them - chicken and chips stone cold. Disgusted

12/08/2025: I visited Milano on Oliver Plunkett and had an extremely poor experience. I understand that guests should wait to be shown to a table, which I did without any problem. The restaurant was not busy at all — in fact, it was quite the opposite. After being seated and given the menu, I timed exactly 15 minutes waiting for a server to take my order. I even called out to them. The staff were not busy attending to other customers; they were standing a bit further ahead, talking in the back section of the restaurant. I was seated near the entrance. I raised my hand to call a waiter, and one person said they would come back — but never did. In the end, I simply stood up and left. While I have eaten there before and the food was fine, on this occasion I left without ordering. When I’m paying for a meal, the minimum I expect is polite and attentive service. I understand if a place is packed and the staff are overwhelmed — that’s perfectly fine. But this was mid-afternoon, around 2 p.m., and the restaurant was empty. To me, the lack of service was unacceptable, and I would not return.

11/08/2025: Love returning here. It's a great menu, new choices regularly. Staff are lovely and welcoming.

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.

29/08/2025: We weren’t expecting much of Aye, to be honest. We just met a couple of friends there to grab a couple of pints and, by the end of it, we were in awe with their food. We started by ordering the crispy sushi rice and they were incredibly tasty with just the right amount of spice to it. After that, we noticed we were still hungry, so we ordered two other dishes to nibble at while drinking: the Garlic & Chilli Atlantic Prawns and the Shredded Chicken. The Atlantic Prawns were very good, but a bit expensive for its size (€16). But the Shredded Chicken was the highlight of the evening. Incredibly tasty and its price was very good for its portion size. The staff serving us were very efficient and super friendly during the whole evening and I wish I knew their names because they deserve the compliments and recognition.

10/06/2025: Me and two of my friends went out for something quick to eat and drink. The food was fabulous and the service was quick and very pleasant. The atmosphere was lovely. Couldn't be happier. We've had the charcuterie board, smashed potatoes and spicy king prawns. All were top-notch 👌

03/08/2025: Very nice fast food im Little Island

13/07/2025: I don't know why, but the coffee here always tastes like crap. I don't know if it is the batista or just this Starbucks as if I get the drink in another Starbucks, it tastes fantastic.

04/05/2025: Service - We didn't know that the store closes at 6 pm(we don't come here often) went in with a baby, sat the baby down. Ordered 3 Toasties and 2 flat whites. Lady at the till never once mentioned that they're closing in 10 minutes, instead just gave us everything in takeaway bags. It was only after we complained, that the supervisor asked us to take our time. Food - Flat whites were extremely watered down. Tasted like it was sitting out for the whole day. Toasties didn't agree with us. Let's just say it was a marathon to and from the toilet the whole night. Please improve your quality.

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

05/07/2025: Personal grosero. Sin precio, sin por favor, sin gracias durante el servicio. 7€. 30 por una pinta de cerveza. Estafa. . Sucio y deteriorado. Solía ser genial hace una década. Qué vergüenza.

04/08/2025: My favorite cafe in the UK and Ireland!!!

28/06/2025: Extremely fresh, staff very friendly, delicious coffee. Thanks a lot!

11/06/2025: Nice place and could be 5 stars But price for Hawaian breast in bun is mad . 9 euros you pay for extra mini slice of pineapple and skiny slice of bacon. It's not right. Bun is not bigger than a standard breast in bun . Jaw drop on the floor. A way too expensive. And if you want meal add 4.5 extra 😳

25/05/2025: Llegó el sábado por la noche. La joven detrás del mostrador era encantador, muy educado y acogedor. La comida salió bastante rápido, tal vez 10 minutos más o menos. Lo único es que estaba un poco caliente por dentro, pero la comida en sí era preciosa. Volvería a aparecer seguro.

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.

03/07/2025: Had brunch here last Sunday morning. Group of 4. Lovely cafe . Food was delicious but the staff especially Denise were so friendly . Would definitely recommend and return.

05/08/2025: Very YUMMY drinks food yummy one thing i ordered and payed for a tall aka large strawberry acai refresher guess what they gave me a small done in 5 minutes literally but VERY nice service 4/5 well done very good food and the only starbucks i ever go to!!

24/07/2025: Nice ambience and very clean, but the cappuccino was disappointing and tasted of burnt coffee beans. It was quite, but freezing cold.

20/06/2025: Wonderful ambience, good Chinese food in a very accessible location. Try something from their Chef's Specials!!

31/05/2025: Worst Chinese food I’ve had in years, shredded chilli chicken is see through/grey and hardly none of it - chips felt like they were hours old and hollow
