The best restaurants in Cork

21/04/2026: The food is always nice when we collect it, but we decided to get it delivered and this is the state the pizza arrived in.

20/03/2026: my friend rang here to order a pizza for himself before and told me what he ordered and where from. so i rang here and told them to take everything off his pizza and just give him a plane cheese instead. forever grateful ye did that 🙏

27/03/2026: My family are regulars and usually the service is great. The ladies there always treat us with such kindness. Today I was served by a man, who I presume is the owner. It was going alright until the card I was using wouldn't accept being tapped and needed to ring to get the pin. All was fine. I turn around to leave and I hear him talk about me before I even have the door fully open... "What was her deal on the phone" as if he was expecting me to magic up the money even though he was right in front of me when I said the words "What is the pin again?" down the phone.

11/11/2025: The sweets and coffee were very good, and the service was excellent.

04/11/2025: Underrated place, got a really tasty croissant with a lot of feeling inside! Very fast and friendly service . Sad that u can’t sit down there

19/12/2025: Thanks to Julie for looking after me this afternoon. Absolutely 5 star service.

14/10/2025: Very friendly staff. Clean and very well kitted out shop, considering its size

12/12/2025: Food was good. Genuinely good smash Burger, nice chips too. Shame about the price. I hadn't been in a while and they raised the prices. €19 for a bacon cheese burger meal + dip is very steep. Probably won't to back for that reason alone. Also it took 40 minutes. It varies a lot. Bear that in mind.

16/09/2025: Very mediocre burger, patties dripping in oil. Didn't feel well after eating it. Chips were alright. The size of a burger tho, quite pathetic. For a place that does only burgers, I expected sth better, while I'd rather go to Burger King next time and get 2 small burgers except one for this price.

15/11/2025: Food is lovely but I placed an order 1 hour & 40 mins, still hasn't being delivered. By the time it comes it'll more than likely be freezing. Usually service is good but last few deliveries I've had has being below par. An hour is OK to wait but this is taking the peeeeaaaas

19/09/2025: food was fabulous as always 10/10 beautiful curry, and lovely chips, best chineese food around, highly recommend, also the spare ribs in peeking sauce and the salt chilli duck is out of this world. the lady behind the counter fiona is so friendly and so good to my son always so friendly great food great service,

14/11/2025: I came for their sourdough loaf only to be told it is only for sandwiches made there! I used to be able to buy and enjoy this wonderful bread before. Ridiculous!

09/11/2025: I would like to express my appreciation for the excellent service I received at the café. I felt genuinely well looked after, and they were attentive at all times. Because of this, I decided not only to stay for breakfast, but also to remain longer and have lunch there as well. Megan, the waitress, was incredibly attentive, and the young man at the till was very kind to us.

29/12/2025: Delicious smash burgers and excellent skinny fries. Staff are friendly! Will definitely be back.

17/12/2025: Don't waste your money or time. the place is an absolute health hazard. dirty floors, pigeons roaming around the floors INSIDE. on top of this, the staff are rude and uninterested. kitchen is visible to the public and its a mess to say the least. The food is stale and cheap but not by price.... 15 euro for a stale sandwich with a drink. the chips I ordered arrived 20 minutes after I got my sandwich when I asked to just get them in a takeaway bag because it took so long the waitress rolled her eyes and came back with them rolled up in brown paper. chips are Tesco home brand from across the street mind you. they have a central lovely location a pity the owner has let it become the disgrace it is.

23/05/2026: Horrible experience. Had one knock on the door and by the time my partner walked to the door they went away. Money wasted. Can’t speak to a member of staff. Don’t waste your time. Never again.

14/05/2026: Only order form here if u love raw chicken

09/06/2026: Front desk...10 stars for the lady....good food........but after.....couples hours....my belly was fact.....i think something was bed....the chef .same 10 stars.....but who controlling the supply 1 stars....recommend for manager to check the meet before....i know the soya sos can cover the smell.....but not cover ..the customer belly......maybe im wrong.....but that happened to me now...spent to much time in bathroom.......last thing....the staff 10 stars for professionalism......have a good day..

05/05/2026: €10 for a spice bag? I checked the bag twice thinking maybe they accidentally included a winning lottery ticket. They did not.

23/12/2025: Omg , food is so gross . I'd rather die of starvation than eat here again! Absolutely vile 🤢 🔴 Large Sign outside says Opened Christmas Day !! Very disrespectful to Irish people. I believe you live in a country you should respect tradition. ( I miss Colin old owner )

12/12/2025: Normally a big fan, but tonight the two gentlemen behind the counter were terrible. Unfriendly, trying to charge the girls next to me for whole meals while they were each trying to order individual items.. Super slow. I just don't understand how I can be waiting 25!! Minutes for a wrap with 2 people on front of me. Way below the usual standard... Edit: After getting home and eating the food it was also not as nice as previous visits.. Time spent Vs Quality.. Not coming back. Ever.

14/02/2025: Very friendly staff and good service but food wasn’t good. Pasta al limone was inedible because it was so bitter and the tiramisu was frozen in the middle. Disappointing.

08/02/2025: recently visited Don gregorio, a fresh pasta spot in the city, with high expectations, but unfortunately, my experience was a mixed bag. I ordered the spicy pasta with guanciale, and I was disappointed to find that the dish didn’t include any guanciale at all. The pasta itself was clumped together, likely because it wasn’t loosened enough with sauce, and the sauce lacked flavor. For a restaurant specializing in fresh pasta, this was a letdown. On a positive note, the **mortadella focaccia** was excellent—well-prepared and flavorful. The **coffee and cannoli** were also highlights of the meal, and I’d definitely recommend them. One frustration was missing out on the **ragu special**, which is one of my favorites. I wasn’t informed about it by the staff but overheard the waiter telling other customers. It would have been nice to have been given the same opportunity to try it. Overall, while there were some bright spots, the inconsistency in the food and service left me underwhelmed. I might give it another try in the future, but for now, I’d recommend sticking to the appetizers and desserts.

04/04/2026: Absolutely unacceptable service. I placed an order through Deliveroo and waited over an hour, only to find out the restaurant never even prepared it. Instead of contacting Deliveroo to report the issue or cancel the order, they simply did nothing. No communication, no update — just left me waiting. I eventually had to go to the restaurant myself, and only then was I told to cancel the order because they hadn’t made it. This shows a complete lack of professionalism and basic customer service. If they are unable to manage delivery platforms properly, they should not be accepting orders at all. A total waste of time — I would not recommend this place.

04/04/2026: Poor service, long wait with cold food. Staff were very rude when we asked where our food was for a group of 3. Wont be back. Atmosphere isnt nice. Rough crowd.

21/03/2026: It's a great place with great food!

02/03/2026: realy good food for good price they put in a lot of food filling up the cantainer recomend for all to eat here

16/04/2026: 1st off this is the 1st time I’ve got a bad meal here. I came in near closing time tonight and got chips and a breast and a bun. Chips were reheated and the breast and a bun was cold. Didn’t realise till I got home that the chips were reheated chips and were hard, crispy and cold. Chicken was under a light but cold and dry. Not impressed with what I got tonight.

11/03/2026: Best chipper in Cork they cook chips properly not like Bishoptown and Ballincollig
