The best restaurants in Cork

22/02/2025: Lovely Food, Atmosphere and Friendly, Helpful Staff 😀

03/02/2025: Love this place staff are super nice great place for a catch up and a coffee food is lovely

12/07/2025: Had a lovely Beamish on a sunny afternoon

07/07/2025: Just my experience wasn't great. Every table we sat was booked at for a certain time it felt a bit like musical chairs. Still had a good night to spite that.

16/03/2025: Lovely atmosphere and very pleasant staff

11/01/2025: Nice old fashioned pub near the heart of Cork City. Always warm and comfortable. No food, just great pints and a great atmosphere.

04/07/2025: Cool place. Lovely seating outside, especially when the sun is shining. Those PIES are very tasty 😋

26/06/2025: Came here on Fathers Day, was very busy as you would expect but didn’t have to wait long for my food. Really good atmosphere and had entertainment for the children which my girls loved. Will be back again!

01/07/2025: The stuff is awesome, the burgers and fries are perfect.

13/06/2025: Delicious and fresh food...Friendly staff.WELL DONE!!!

30/05/2025: Best cafe in cork. Sandwiches to die for

23/03/2025: Such a perfect example of what it is - a community-centric bakery. They have their own way of making everything and it’s perfect. For those of us under 40, this is the stuff our grannies used to make! Really nostalgic, traditional and well-presented bakes. Their ring doughnuts and coffee cake are a particular favourite of mine. Service is friendly and efficient too! Some of these reviews are complaining about price. These people must not get out much! For locally made baking, fresh from the kitchen to your mouth, the prices are very reasonable. I always expect to pay more and leave with plenty of change for really good breads, cakes and buns. It all tastes so well made too, you’d pay twice the amount for mass produced and low quality nonsense at a big chain café.

20/06/2025: Delicious and abundant food, they have trivia games at night and great music.

17/06/2025: Visited the Wool Shed Bar and Grill and they have a nice menu I went with the Chips and Pulled Pork simply because it was the only meal on the menu that came with chips. It is definitely very popular for the price of €9.90 as I seen staff going back and forth to different tables with this meal. I would of going with the Chicken for €18 euros but for such a pricey chicken it do not come with a few chips. If chips was added to that menu item and other menu items they would definitely sell a lot more from the menu. The pulled pork and chips were very tasty and filling definitely worth the price. Cooked well. The service from the staff was excellent checking to see if all was ok. The girl that took the order was very nice and very helpful with explaining the menu. The Mardyke Entertainment Venue is very large as it has a large snooker and pool section. It has bowling lanes and there is an open air rooftop area. Downstairs more seating for large groups for food and dinning. Also another small bar with arcade games called the Barcadia. The main downstairs pub has  plenty of screens with lots of choices to watch different sports. This entertainment venue has it all. Great staff great service and great food. Would just add that if the meals came with chips as standard the meals would definitely be value for money and add more variety and would sell more.

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.

09/07/2025: Toasted sandwich was very nice but dear at €11.50

27/06/2025: Lovely garden centre on the outskirts of the city. All stock well cared for and prices very reasonable. Café served snacks and lunches and some with very interesting combinations. Will definitely call back.

02/07/2025: Greenes was an absolutely incredible experience. The staff was friendly and attentive, the atmosphere was second to none making you forget you are in the middle of the city, and the food was to die (or eat way too much) for. The hot stone filet is a must in this lifetime as it was so flavorful and tender.

28/06/2025: Really delicious stew and lamb shank

04/07/2025: Hit this place just at the right time ⏲️ as it had just opened in the afternoon and we were the second persons to go in. After doing the tour of Cork we needed somewhere to sit down have a drink 🍸 and 🍻 people watch for an hour. It didn't take long for the outside seating area to full up because everyone had the same idea as us. Very well staffed beautiful pub inside, plenty of history and a good selection of beers 🍻 and wine 🍷 👌. Excellent pint of Guinness.

06/06/2025: Nice pub on Corks main street. Good selection of beers

14/06/2025: Lovely irish bar with a great atmosphere. Modern yet vintage, but very cosy in its environment. Food and service was great !

11/06/2025: Cracking bar with friendly and helpful staff who were prompt in their service. The locals were great too and happy to chat to blow ins like myself and my mates. We didn't stay too long as we had to head into town but would definitely return.

03/07/2025: Best spice box in cork , all the shredded chicken and chicken balls all cooked to perfection and so fresh , 4th time getting a spice box from there and it gets better every time 10/10 and the price is absolute bargain

21/06/2025: For me the best traditional Chinese restaurant in Cork, always ask for the chinese menu and use a translator you won't regret it

14/07/2025: The food , the service and the vibe was 10/10! Will 100% be back!

06/07/2025: Never disappoints, the staff are so friendly.

09/07/2025: Don't sleep on this place - best americano I've had in all of Ireland over the last 2 years I've been here. Food was also delicious and service was great. Would totatly live here in the mornings if I were based in Cork.

04/07/2025: Disappointing. Coffee was good but waited 20 mins for my poached eggs on sourdough, meanwhile at least 5 people who arrived after me were served their food. When the food did eventually arrive (without apologies for the lateness), the poached eggs were hard.
