The best restaurants in Cork

02/04/2025: The lads have no clue what’s going on they’re trying their best , but Sebastian is taking way too long with my order.

31/03/2025: I wasn't very happy because when I ordered I paid extra for meat.I got two corners of prons for €4 I will never go to you, they are robbing you of your food. I'm not alone, my friend, you want to complain about not enough meat?

17/03/2026: Every time I order takeaway, my order is incorrect. Items are missing, products are changed without asking, and I always receive less than what I ordered. For example, I ordered 6 nuggets and they sent me 3 cold mozzarella sticks. And I had to wait 3 hours for my order.

16/03/2026: We stopped by this McDonald's late at night/early morning for breakfast and had a great experience. Despite the hour, the environment was clean and quiet, making it a very comfortable spot to sit down. The caffe latte and coffee were delicious, and the donuts were a real treat—fresh and tasty. It’s definitely a reliable go-to spot on Patrick Street if you're looking for quality and a calm atmosphere in the heart of the city at night. Highly recommended!

20/12/2025: Card only is ridiculous The little blond on 20th dec at 11 am is most miserable person ever

03/12/2025: The kids love coming into the shop, had to pop in after a bit of shopping and the workers were so accommodating. Alex was very helpful explaining the doughnuts in detail to me as I had no clue, he was just amazing couldn't have been more helpful really made the trip in worth it. He was an absolute delight to have a chat with. Will definitely go in again.

04/03/2026: Ordered a large number of Pizzas, Drinks and Finger food for the IT Team at Laya Healthcare with Domino's and their job was outstanding! Sean gave me amazing, timely, responsive support from the initial quote request all the way through delivery - on time! All was perfect! Thank you so much, Sean for coordinating this large order, and to the Domino's Team who made our day a memorable day.

29/12/2025: Just came back from there, made an order, waited a little bit but the staff were nice and friendly 🙂so we’re happy

16/02/2026: We entered the venue around 8:48 PM, while the closing time was listed as 9:00 PM. Even though we were allowed inside, we were told that food service was no longer available. Even if there were only 10–15 minutes left before closing, takeaway service could still have been offered. The closing time was not clearly defined (last order time vs. door closing time), which was disappointing as a customer. Staff communication could have been clearer. It would be much better for customers if the last order time was clearly stated.

27/12/2025: Honestly? I'm amazed, I did not think that it's possible to make Pad Thai taste bland... 3x different dishes all tasted the same or to be more specific they tasted like nothing...

21/12/2025: No joy with booking online so took a chance as a walk in..they found us a table no problem we just had soup and sandwich..very tasty,our server brilliant..maybe French chap..very enjoyable ❤️

21/12/2025: Came here for a family gathering, waiting staff good, attentive. Party of six, my order didn’t appear for 15-20 minutes after the other five orders. For me this is poor form and while they did apologise there wasn’t an explanation given. The food itself is fine it’s a safe menu but the seasoning is limited to salt and pepper and it was very much a soft texture diet lacking in much variety of texture. Prawns limp and most definitely over cooked.

01/02/2026: The place itself is charming, very well maintained, and the staff were genuinely friendly. We ordered two glasses of wine, one from Chile and one from New Zealand. To my surprise (I’m usually not a fan of Chilean wine), both were really good, and the pours were generous. The waiter was lovely and even brought the bottle over so I could see the name of the wine. Zero complaints there. Also worth mentioning: in January, pints are €4.50, which is a great deal, even though we didn’t try them. I’m giving 3 stars because we came in mainly due to the advertised snack + pint until 9pm. We ordered the loaded fries with truffle and parmesan. As you can see in the photo, despite being a large plate, they’re barely “loaded” at all. They were essentially fries with some parmesan sprinkled on top. Tasty, yes, but calling them “loaded fries” feels misleading. When we asked for a bit more sauce (the one you see in the photo), we were told no because the kitchen was closed. I ended up speaking with the manager to explain that this didn’t feel fair, and it took him literally two minutes to get it — though not without first insisting again that the kitchen was closed and the chefs were already gone. Honestly, charging €9 for fries with a bit of cheese and a small pot of spiced mayo, and then debating over giving a bit more sauce, really detracted from the experience. We weren’t asking for anything to be cooked — just a simple gesture that would have made the experience much more pleasant. Overall, thank you for the service. I can’t say I wouldn’t recommend it — there are definitely good things about the place — but with so many options in Cork, it’s probably not somewhere we’d return to.

02/01/2026: Most expensive roll in Cork? I've been a customer of the deli here for a good 20 years, but I've found their prices and habits of overcharging have just gone crazy. Despite advertising prices for various rolls, no matter what you get in it, you will be charged the highest price. I've often got a 4-5 item roll, and you will still be charged for 8 items. I recently started to ask for the 8 items, out of principal, and now they are charging €7.50 for a breakfast roll. False advertising and overpriced. Insane.

28/01/2026: Great staff, lovely food, always a pleasure.

30/11/2025: Standards not as good as other dinos , no peas or tarter sauce on fish supper even after they were confirmed with order at counter , curry sauce cold and watery, chips undercooked and hard low quality .

05/10/2025: had meal last night food not good .spring roll not hot. found chicken bone in chicken fried rice. staff weren't good at taking our orders. won't be going there again

28/09/2025: Food was lovely,curry was a bit sweet for me. Staff are lovely

03/12/2025: The only place I go to in the Marina Market!!

02/12/2025: We visited the Marina Market in Cork today, a 2 hour drive from where we live and my goodness it’s worth it for this food alone! We got the tenders and baos to share. The Korean fried chicken baos in particular are stunning, myself and my husband were very impressed 😍 gorgeous crispy coated chicken, fresh flavours, delicious sauces and pickles. Perfect! Highly recommended!

06/02/2026: Food was ok. Service isn’t good. Takes a little too long to get food.

02/02/2026: Got nearly 50 euro worth off food today, the chips and the chicken were so dry and greasy at the same time fare play, curry opened and spilt all over the bag ,taco fries tasted like it was cooking for the last week , last time I'll be eating at any Dino's

21/01/2026: i’ve order pizza from here many times and usually it’s pretty good, tonight my pizza was undercooked, the pepperoni looked raw and the red onions were soggy and slimy. i couldn’t even finish the pizza it was disgusting.

17/01/2026: solomon delea is the nicest most polite and made my entire night good laugh with yhe lads needs a raise

01/02/2026: Members only apparently but the last time we where there it wasn't.

07/01/2026: What else can I say only a 5 star experience from beginning to end. Came in here with the Monday blues with it being my first Monday back to work since the Christmas break. It was 4:30 and looked like they were beginning to close the place down. A young man bursts out of the kitchen and you could just tell he had a passion for his job. He explains that they usually start to close the place down around now but just for me he will stick something on. 5 minutes later he comes out with a piping hot sandwich which was delicious and a flat white with a swan as the latte art. Simply amazing and will definitely be back

07/01/2026: Phenomenal cafe. Food was exceptional, flat white one of the best in Cork and the staff were quick and attentive. Highly recommend!

06/03/2026: spice bag is 10/10, spicy, delicious so seasoned and MASSIVE and so fresh

03/03/2026: Only Chinese around that's 💯% on food and not waiting 40+ mins for cold food , prices are very good 👍
