The best restaurants in Cork

07/11/2025: Rejected my order for delivery from 1km away because of being ‘too far’ (with a high delivery charge). Took 5 days to get money back

08/07/2025: Got mixed veg fried rice and onion rings would definitely get again .

24/10/2025: Me and my partner had dinner here on the first night of our stay at the hotel and we were very impressed with the quality of food and the impeccable service from our waiter Jiyan. Will definitely be dining here again. The only thing I would criticise would be that it was a little cold so I had to grab a jumper from the hotel room and I even spotted a women on the table next to us wearing a coat!

17/10/2025: One of our favorite breakfast is at the four hotels we were at. Especially for a vegan which can be limited in the free breakfast in hotels around town, but they had a really good tofu scramble on toast.

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.

02/07/2025: Every single time I go to this place they get my order wrong, and it takes at least two tries to get it right. All I ever order from here is a plain halloumi burger with sweet chilli sauce NOT sweet chilli mayo and Every single time i either get a burger with sweet chilli mayo or with everything on it. Is it really that difficult to make a plain burger with sauce?

06/12/2025: We had breakfast today 6th December it was very nice. I like that I can get sweetpotato cakes with avocado and poached eggs its something different but still fairly healthy. This is a regular for us at the weekend.

04/11/2025: The café at Here’s Health is one of my absolute favourite spots. The food is always fresh, vibrant, and full of flavour, you can taste the quality ingredients. The staff are so friendly and welcoming, and they create such a calm, relaxed atmosphere. It’s the perfect place to unwind, meet a friend, or grab a nourishing lunch that actually leaves you feeling good. If you’re in Cork and looking for a wholesome café experience, Here’s Health Café is a must-visit!

17/11/2025: Just went in no happy meals no toys for kids no orange juice no hamburgers joke of a place

15/11/2025: Worst drive thru around. Always getting orders wrong and its not noticed until home. Giving out boxes for 9 nuggets and only putting 6 in. Great place to take the kids if you want a freak out and disappointment!!!!

31/10/2025: They’ll tell you your order is ready and when you show up to collect they’ll start prepping the order. They couldn’t organise a session in a brewery.

29/08/2025: Always fresh food, great delivery staff and counter staff.

28/06/2025: really weird vibe in there, felt unsafe. everything was overpriced, too and the sound quality was bad.

21/08/2025: Absolutely amazing place, the staff are so friendly and accommodating, the owner came over to welcome us and ask if everything was to our liking, The food is so tasty too and very reasonable

06/07/2025: Been going there for 10 years. The boss knows us by going there. Never ever once gave us a free pint.

14/11/2025: Very accommodating for order customization. Best spice box in cork. :) thanks

10/11/2025: The food was delicious, and the service was quick. I especially enjoyed the chow mein. It’s a quiet place, great for a conversation. The menu offers a wide variety of dishes, though vegetarian options are limited.

21/10/2025: Food here is really, I would recommend the dinner box, chips are really nice and the chicken is cooked perfectly, I also recommend the curry sauce really tasty, staff are really nice and the place is kept clean and tidy

19/09/2025: Flavourless, greasy and expensive! Give it a chance, Never again!!

31/08/2025: I understand this is only a 3-star hotel, but they barely meet the standards of a motel. Super rundown beyond the lobby (not just old). Housekeeping is excellent considering they can only do so much. Desk staff were polite, though they lacked initiative and weren’t particularly helpful. First thing you’ll notice is the old musty smell and paper-thin walls. The guest next door woke me up using the bathroom. I even heard the clicking of him texting before his shower. Thankfully, I was on the top floor. Several advertised “amenities” were misleading and missing. They had like five parking spots in their “lot,” so you are expected to pay for parking down the street. Unable to provide a charging adapter as agreed, but sold me a used charger for $10 USD. The room itself could barely hold a double bed and offered no basic necessities besides the watered-down soap pump on the wall. Guests are also not permitted to have a friend wait in the room. They have to wait outside, which feels unnecessarily restrictive. $185 USD (discounted through booking online) for a 10hr stay, I at least expected a complimentary bottle of water or a room that didn’t reek of the 50s. I hate how negative this review is, but this hotel only aims to take every penny they can. Charging me for a used charger (visible scuffs on the metal) when all I needed was an adapter? Did another guest leave that behind? Save the “thanks” comment for the next review. It’s nonchalant and directly shows that you don’t care. Yes, it’s a business, but do better.

24/08/2025: Close to the city centre Staff are very friendly Lovely hotel room

11/06/2025: I went to the Maxol station in Ballincollig this morning expecting it to open at 6:00 AM, as listed on both Google Maps and their website. I waited outside for 10 minutes, hoping to quickly pick up a few things and fill up my car with petrol. However, when I got closer to the door after 6:00, I noticed a sign stating that they actually open at 6:30 AM. It’s really frustrating and misleading, especially when you’re planning your morning based on the advertised opening hours. Please update your hours online to reflect the correct opening time.

06/06/2025: Good selection of items in the shop. Busy place. Parking available. Staff helpful.

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.

16/11/2025: Worst McDonalds ever never seen anything so dirty and wasn’t busy either

10/11/2025: Cold food, unfriendly service, music too loud. One person working behind the back. Torn seat covers, cold inside. Had to go back to get chips as they were cold like the atmosphere. Whoever is the manager is either not taking notice or doesn't want to take notice.Basically a kip. I've been to hundreds of McDonald's worldwide and this is the worst I have come across. Needs a total rehaul.

27/10/2025: Order a delivery and they sent me my food and the gave me egg fried rice from Someone elses order and put sauce in it and then I rang up the lady on phone passed phone over and said I just told her ur manger u speek to her I am not.

08/10/2025: Best Chinese in the city. Food and service is great. If you’re looking for good Chinese, thats it!
