The best restaurants in Cork

05/09/2025: Linen weaver JD Wetherspoon was such a nice place for food and free refills of Coffee. Very great place to sit with a soulmate and on my own in recent years. Such a sweet memory 💖 from 2016 to 2018. Hard to believe Linen Weaver is closed now, would wish they can reopen sometime in near future. Good luck and Best wishes, Amarendra Ajaykumar Biochemistry Graduate, UCC, Cork .

25/07/2025: No wonder it's closed no way was weatherspoons could be a success in Ireland

01/12/2025: Will not be ordering from here again. The website stated it was open at 4 and orders could be placed. We did that. Our money was taken, over €70 euro. An hour later, when we were expecting our food it said our order was cancelled. We rang the shop and the man was rude and dismissive and said just keep checking our bank for the money. We are now down €70 euro and have no food. Horrible to deal with. Never again

24/09/2025: I got a flamed grill quarter pounder in there, and I will be going back again there food is nice.

30/09/2025: I was going to dunnes hoping to grab a coffee from the coffee machine within dunnes and have in cafe only to be told rather rudely I can’t be in there even though I have a cafe sol coffee same blond woman then went to the door and refused entry to anyone not buying from the cafe area although people across from me were doing the same and nothing was said very dissatisfied in this particular staff member located near Dinos dunnes

06/08/2025: Absolutely love this cafe! The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with a perfect balance of cozy seating and bright natural light. My cappuccino was smooth, rich, and beautifully presented by Martyna and the banana bread is always fresh and delicious. The baristas here always greet you with a warm smile and you can tell they care about every customer that walks in. It’s rare to find a place with coffee this good and the best staff behind it all!

24/10/2025: Good food. Lovely girls. Vat reducted in budget. Result upped price of fish supper by 1.20 euro?

23/10/2025: Food was appalling covered in GREASE the onion rings were soggy not even cooked ,brest in a bun was on eatable so much sauce burger was AGAIN SOGGY over so much Sauce!!! Cheese and onion pies SOGGY and GREASY could have been cooked longer my mouth after 3 bites had to spit it out mouth was sour from the salt and grease....wont be going back FIRST and last TIME il ever eat out of there

24/12/2025: The atmosphere is comfortable and welcoming, perfect for chilling with a friend or getting a bit of work done. Staff are friendly and efficient too. Definitely a solid choice for coffee in Cork! ☕😊

24/11/2025: Staff were very friendly but €4.95 for a flat white is INSANE. Although the barista did their job perfectly, the coffee itself was no better than something out of one of centra’s machines. How does one justify charging €4.95 for THAT is absolutely absurd. Will never be returning and would definitely not recommend

31/10/2025: I get fish and chips here and they are always very nice I got very over cooked Haddock with batter that I could not chew. I give it to the dogs. I got an extra few bags of chips with toppings that did not look burnt but no one could finish them as they were very poor. Hopefully this is resolved. The staff are very nice in there!

20/10/2025: Just bought a brat in a bun meal and the chips had the texture of a bag of toenails. You need to throw out the chips off they’ve been under the heat lamp for a while guys. Burger was ok, too much bread not enough breast. Disappointing

30/11/2025: We got €50 food delivered from here tonight. It was genuinely awful. Like truly inedible. The breast of chicken curry was tasteless and paste like with "chicken" with a spongey, disgusting texture. Salt N Pepper chicken was like pork scratchings. Chicken Chow Fan was vile. Slimy and just grim. Thai basil stir fry was terrible. The chips and boiled rice were acceptable.

11/07/2025: My go to always. No complaints, staff are lovely also

03/01/2026: Ordered a chicken burger here and it was so dried out that I couldn’t get through it. Even with a very obvious ‘dry as sand’ burger being returned in front of him, the manager assured us that it ‘was supposed to be like that’ I wouldn’t ever complain as the culinary expectation isn’t high here but this was BAD! It’s a shame as it’s the first time that management in any Cork McDonald’s has been so resistant to solving a clear issue.

23/12/2025: Great place to treat the kids !! Lovely staff !!

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!

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!

11/01/2026: We love Khor. Great value for money and the food is always delicious. The satay sauce, crispy shredded chicken, chicken balls, pad thai and gyozas are some of our favourites. The staff are lovely as well.

27/12/2025: Efficient service and experimental flavours

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

13/12/2025: Amazing I recommend really good customer service great vibes food 11/10 very happy 🥳

30/06/2025: Good food. Affordable prices. Just need ask the lads for sauce as they don't supply.

30/12/2025: Today, during our visit to Wilton Shopping Centre with my daughters, my wife, and my mother-in-law, my daughters had to assist their nana as she was feeling unwell and needed to sit down for a couple of minutes. Since there were no available seats, she sat in the outdoor chairs at The Gallery restaurant. Unfortunately, within a minute, a staff member approached her, asking if she was dining. When she responded that she was not, the staff member requested she move, stating that the seats were for customers only. While I understand the policy, my mother-in-law is 83 years old and was suddenly feeling unwell. Despite the restaurant not being busy and having plenty of available seats, this request felt unnecessary and unacceptable. I hope that in the future, the restaurant will show more understanding and compassion, especially towards elderly individuals who may suddenly feel unwell

30/12/2025: The restaurant was empty, my father who is in his 60’s and recently went through a stroke did not feel well and sat down at one of the tables for a few minutes. Waiter came up to the table asking if he could do anything for my father. After my dad explained that he only sat down for a few minutes to rest because he didn’t feel well instead of offering a glass of water, the waiter told him that the tables were for customers only. Zero empathy.

23/12/2025: What you see in photo below was described on menu as “Homemade Pavlova”. It was served as a tower, with half a scoop of ice cream in the middle of the two cases. One strawberry, cut in small wedges was the total amount of berries!!! Note: the fresh cream was requested after it was served to make it somewhat appetising but still very dry. Service very slow and it wasn’t very busy on the night. Starters were extremely poor and not reflecting the price. The mains could have been better.
