The best restaurants in Cork

14/11/2025: Friendly staff. Great that you can eat your food from Miyazaki here. They have different random things on from time to time like Amuse Bouche from local café's, DJs, Trad sessions, Irish speaking nights etc. Pat the manager is a legend. Good craic.

29/10/2025: One of my favourite pubs in Cork. Beautiful and cosy little spot, though it can be difficult to get a seat during busier times. The live music is wonderful, as is the ability to order delicious Japanese food from across the road!

25/10/2025: Good climbing gym - not huge, but it's enough, with a good bit of variety.

27/09/2025: Friendly staff, lots of differnet way/ level to clim on the wall

27/10/2025: Always a great experience, The elm tree never ever disappoints ,top class service, top class food ,Megan the server met our every need on many a occasion. My family down from the North had a fantastic time.

23/10/2025: Celebration Ruined – Ignored, Insulted, Disrespected I organized a dinner for a close friend’s promotion, What should have been a joyful celebration turned into humiliation. Our server, Kenneth, completely neglected our table. Water took over an hour. Our order was forgotten, and when we asked for it to be packed, it was dumped carelessly. Dessert took half an hour to take, and food I was tasteless and poorly prepared. When we asked for the manager, Owen, we were told he was too busy and handed a €25 voucher. For a €100+ bill, this was insulting. As professionals, we know what respect and proper hospitality look like — none of it was shown. We deserved a sincere apology and proper compensation, not a token voucher that worsened the experience. This restaurant fails completely at basic hospitality. They ruined a special occasion. Never again. Horrible.
