The best restaurants in Cork

11/05/2025: I went in the store around 5 PM. There was hardly anyone in store. Only one person working, he took my order. I ordered 3 Chicken Kebabs and 1 Vegetarian Kebabs. He said it will take 20 min. but it took more than 30 min knowing the fact that only he was working in store little delay is understandable But , when I reached home there was no vegetarian kebab, all 4 kebabs were chicken. I called store to inform that we did not receive vegetarian kebab, the person on call was adamant to accept that he did not gave vegetarian kebab. He was again and again saying that he made on his own, it’s not possible that vegetarian kebab is not there. I told him that I am opened all the 4 kebabs and all have chicken in it. He was not at all ready to listen to me or accept this let alone apologise for his mistake. In the end I had to hang up call with no apology, no vegetarian kebab and no refund. I was so frustrated but he did not care about it. He was only fixed on he made it on his own. I paid and did not even get to eat anything. I would not recommend this place at all.

16/10/2024: The food and service was top notch The price was good . The restaurant has a beautiful artistic look and I loved the well and the fish down stairs.

03/09/2024: We just drove off the motorway to look for a quick snack. We didn't know then what a lovely surprise awaited us at the Gallery Café. There's a great display of artwork, the place is tastefully decorated and the tables spaced out reasonably well. The waitress was kind and helpful. The food simply delicious! Would definitely go again and would recommend to others.

17/05/2024: Lovely atmosphere, great service and good prices! My go-to cafe 😊

26/08/2025: The team at Espresso in Brown Thomas Cork are always so kind, warm, and welcoming. They’re quick to come up and help, incredibly attentive, and always go above and beyond to make sure you’re looked after. Such a lovely experience every time – thank you!

24/06/2025: The team at Nespresso are always warm and friendly- thank you so much to Roark and Paul for their great service today. Nespresso is always a favourite here in the office.

19/07/2025: Asked for a full breakfast and was charged 17e, when it finally arrived it had no beans, no hash brown, no white or black pudding and no mushrooms, when I asked about them I was told you don't get those with a full breakfast, so why it's called a full breakfast is misleading,, 17e for 2eggs,2 rashers and 2 sausages,, absolute disgrace ripping people off like this

10/04/2025: The Best Hot Chocolate is to be had at this Coffee house. I was offered a mix of Dark and Milk Chocolate that was carefully mixed together which made for a very rewarding and enjoyable Hot Chocolate. Every other Hot Chocolate I have had since then,just tastes like Watery Milk. So Thanks Blue House Coffee for taking the time to make such a Great Hot Chocolate,so from here on in,my Hot Chocolate experience will be reserved for Blue House Coffee.✋️✋️ On top of all that the service is great and there is a lovely community atmosphere.❤️❤️❤️

14/03/2025: We were here at 0800 to get coffee and something to eat before our bus, but they were out of everything except one single pastry. The flat whites only came in regular size, and they were quite small for the cost. I was disappointed after reading the reviews.

13/09/2025: Wish I had taken a photo but I was so hungry as a lot of restaurants were booked solid this evening. We were deterred by the terrible reviews but were we ever pleasantly surprised. The service was fast and the meal was hot and delicious. I had the slow cooked beef and it was tasty, the meat fell apart, and the gravy was decadent without being too salty. Overall, we were a table of 3 and everyone was extremely satisfied.

10/05/2025: The food is very tasty. The waiters are very polite and attentive. There was live music. I liked everything very much.
