The best restaurants in Cork

24/05/2025: Amazing food. The best Chinese food available in Cork - could not recommend enough.

20/05/2025: Best Chinese restaurant in Cork. I highly recommend the roast meats, or the traditional Chinese menu, especially the Hunan Spicy Beef or the Fish Fragrance Shredded Pork (which is fishy in name only - it's a translation thing!).

17/04/2025: First time dining and wining in L’Atitude 51 and will not be the last. We thoroughly enjoyed our evening. Kieran and Laura were spectacular - Kieran was incredibly knowledgeable regarding the special wines on offer and also took the time to explain the food specials in detail. Laura was friendly, welcoming, and had great humour. The pappardelle was generous and addictive. The white wine recommended by Kieran was a perfect match to our usual preference of white wine - sweet and refreshing.

13/03/2025: I'm From Logroño (Spain) and i'm pretty sure that this is one of the best places in hole Ireland. Amazing service, staff qualified and all of that in a small charming place. I recommend to everybody visit it. I give just 5 stars because i can't give you 10 ;)

23/03/2025: Welcoming staff. I only ordered an americano as I was on my way to visit someone in the nearby hospital, and I was a little early. Both staff members bore lovely smiles and extremely courteous. After paying, I was told to find a seat, and the americano was delivered very quickly to my table. There were a number of young people seated around and talking quietly to each other at their respective tables. I noted that rolls and sandwiches had been served to several of them. The atmosphere was nice and quiet, and the welcoming warmth of the staff made this a pleasant visit. I did call in again and was met with the same warmth, although the customers were definitely medical students. I noted that some were using their laptops to presumably study. I would certainly use these premises again if I am in the area

25/02/2025: Best coffee in Cork city! When my parents came to visit, I took them to Brightside, and they were blown away by the quality of the coffee. I love their vegan breakfast options, the staff are always wonderfully friendly, and I would absolutely recommend to anyone who is perhaps a bit of a coffee snob - their drinks are incredible.

26/05/2025: Highly recommended. Very friendly staff. Delicious food and very good value for money. Old style interior but clean/tidy and feels cosy.

25/04/2025: Great pub, beautiful and comfy, good beer, assistance and people.

05/05/2025: We ate there on 2 consecutive evenings. It was incredibly delicious. The best Bolognese I have eaten in Ireland! I ordered the same cocktail both evenings because it was so good! The service was also very courteous and quick. Can only be recommended. If I came to Cork again I would eat there again at any time.

05/05/2025: We've been traveling across Ireland for a week now. This Italian restaurant is by FAR the best we have eaten at. Service was super friendly and the food came super quickly. Quality is bombastic I don't understand the negative reviews, some give too few stars because it was too fast for them, others it was too slow. The most important thing is the quality of the food and it was good. Thank you for this culinary experience.

07/05/2025: Amazing food & service, highly recommended

27/04/2025: Really nice space much better than the other market

31/05/2025: For climbing enthusiasts, it's a very pleasant and well-equipped place. I don't know the prices because I only went with someone, but I thought the facilities were good. I'd remove the mats, though; it seems a bit unclean, and I'd improve the ventilation (a bit cramped at this time of year), as it seems very cold in winter.

07/05/2025: Excellent facility! Expert, friendly and supportive staff, routes change all the time so it is always fresh and challenging, amazing atmosphere and a really cool place to hang out. The coffee and cakes are great too - can’t recommend highly enough. Awesome Walls Cork makes it easy to get to grips with climbing for beginners with lots of training and social climbing available daily and weekly. Great value membership if you want to go regularly or just book a session and give it a try if you haven’t been before.

22/05/2025: Very good overall! Simple food done well!

21/05/2025: Definitely a must-go if you want good food. Great atmosphere, polite and attentive staff, and you can order an Erdinger Weissbier 😍❣️

11/05/2025: Generous dishes, a pleasant welcome and very reasonable prices! Small bonus, for the terrace in the shade, pleasant this season

15/04/2025: Fui aquí a desayunar con mi novia y el servicio fue impecable! El personal es muy amable aquí y servicial. Ojalá pudiera dar los nombres de los dos empleados que estaban trabajando esa mañana. Yo mismo no puedo tener lácteos y el servidor me hizo consciente de lo que podía y no podía tener, ¡¡super conocedor!! Ambos disfrutamos de nuestra comida, huevos escalfados preciosos, era mi primera vez allí y sin duda volveré a visitar después de esa experiencia encantadora!

05/03/2025: A very friendly welcoming pub with a great atmosphere. Great barstaff and local people.

04/04/2025: They have everything I wanted. Customer service was top notch! I ordered from Norway and my package arrived right on time and in good condition. Very happy with my order. If you are a lover of African food/groceries, this store is highly recommended.

24/02/2025: Great store with a wide variety of African products. Friendly staff, good prices, and a well-organized setup. Highly recommend!

08/05/2025: I like this place, not the biggest garden centre in Ireland but it has some magic tucked away in the corners. Excellent friendly staff lend to a relaxed browsing atmosphere with help if you need it. Definitely visit again.

20/02/2025: This place is a must stop during your visit to Cork! The place is friendly and warm, the food they offer is incredible, delicious dishes, gourmet and made according to the seasons. The portions are generous and the choices varied between breakfast and lunch. The pastries and pastries are fresh and delicious (the scones are fantastic). The staff is very welcoming and smiling, they take into account your various special requests which is very appreciated! We also tried their Tapas Night and what an experience I highly recommend. The Village Deli is a place not to be missed!!! (A little extra also for the garden center staff who run a very cute and welcoming store with lots of choice!)

05/05/2025: Amazing irish picanha barbecue !!! Perfect !!! Amazing taste!!!

08/02/2025: Delicious sandwich in Marina market!

18/05/2025: It's a gem in the heart of the city.

11/05/2025: It was amazing, taste fresher, price affordable, no need add flavours (salt, pepper) I really enjoyed, I really recommend it.

06/03/2025: Loved it so friendly, a lovely spot with a great pint!

01/01/2025: Charming, warm, homely, stripped back old-style pub. Wonderful experience and oasis right in the middle of the cacophony of Cork city centre. Friendly vibe, no tvs, no music just the real deal Irish pub. You’d never know who you might bump into with such an eclectic clientele of local and international.
