The best restaurants in Cork

13/09/2026: Atmosphere unreal the food is class and the feel is so different from the normal cafes

11/09/2026: We loved our breakfast here! Very kind staff, definitely come back here!

12/07/2026: My cousins and I stayed at the hotel on Friday and had light bites and cocktails on the terrace. Everything was fab but really I’m only reviewing because our server Paudie genuinely made our evening, he was so fab! Paudie was so attentive and was great craic too. He really gave us such good service. Thank you Paudie!

08/07/2026: We just spent 5 nights in a River Suite. The Woodlands part of the property is a five star experience. The serene room design, large balcony and club lounge make this a perfect place for celebrating a special occasion or in our case having a quiet home base for exploring Cork and the surrounding areas. Every staff member we encountered was friendly. The service was excellent. You do not have to leave the property as they have a full service restaurant and bar both with panoramic views, fitness center, pool and spa.

15/08/2026: Great to deal with and nice people

28/07/2026: Fab service Johnny cash employee with best personality

27/10/2026: Quaint and eclectic little cafe that also sells books. There are a vegan sweets, as well as a vegan sausage roll which was quite good. I wish there were more vegan meals/savoury options though.

10/10/2026: A place with a great atmosphere, tasty coffee and cake, and very friendly service. I recommend it and will definitely be back. Thank you so much, Girls.😉

11/10/2026: Great place, Great people. Can't wait to try the food.

05/10/2026: I'm a regular at this bar over 30 years and what I seen tonight was not good. I came in to listen to the trad music and watch the Irish game and to my disappointment they would not show the Irish game because the manager of the bar had a political view and said they are showing the Portugal game instead. I watched as one lad asked them why wouldn't they show it and the bar staff laughed thinking it was funny . I think about 10-15 people left the bar to watch it elsewhere . I have no political view but I wanted to watch the match I stayed as I watched the atmosphere die . Great bar but not nice tonight.

20/10/2026: Highly recommended pub if you can catch it open. Great pints of stout and the atmosphere of an Irish pub from the 1950s or 60s.

03/10/2026: Very disrespectful trying to make me and my friends feel like fools for wanting a pint on a Friday night. If unable to give service that's fine but the attitude of staff there was condescending for no reason.

13/10/2026: Haven't been there in ages visited last week excellent service great food great parking 👍 friendly staff good price 😀

21/08/2026: Really friendly and helpful staff. Good drinks, and tasty food.

15/10/2026: My life has genuinely changed, the flying fish may be the salmon of knowledge because now I am smart enough to know KCs is the best chipper on earth. The service is genius too, there's non of the macdonalds bullshit of waiting with your number while everyone after you gets theirs, it's a literal conveyor belt it feels like a drive through in the best way. The people making this perfection in the kitchen move faster than Jordan Belfort on new issue day. The music they play is actually decent and the decor is on point. Eat here or die unfulfilled.

26/09/2026: Bang average, not living up to the hype

12/10/2026: Felt like a changing room. Still an exciting bar!

05/10/2026: Best pints in town. Maybe in Ireland. Kegs under the bar. 10/10.

05/10/2026: Lovely shopping centre well worth a visit 3 hours freeparking

04/10/2026: Nice shopping centre good variety of shops

23/09/2026: Nice little Spot with a great choice of foods (breakfast, brunch and lunch). Something for everybody.

26/08/2026: I’m so excited to go back here! I think the price matches the quality of ingredients, staff are friendly and timely as-well as the food. The only negative thing about our 3rd visit was our eggs weren’t runny, that being said - it was delicious. Great coffee and fresh orange juice. I can’t wait to have eggs royale from here again- best I’ve ever had in all of Cork. Also, it would be great to have a cushion on the chair they’re quite hard, feel very office IKEA-like.

22/07/2026: Excellent spot. Very deceiving. Very welcoming

02/10/2026: Coffees and pastries here at delicious, and the staff are really nice 👍🙂

29/08/2026: Arrived first thing in the morning, well set up and ready to serve. Great coffee.

17/10/2026: Ellie and Conor our servers were incredible. They knew what we wanted before we did !! They are such incredible server's and I will be back just for them.

11/10/2026: Stopped in for a drink and had some awesome chicken strips

22/09/2026: Lovely, local pub with rich history. Can be noisy. No experience of eating there but the location at St Lukes Cross is central to eateries and the St Lukes Event Centre in the old church has frequent gigs.

12/09/2026: The bartenders are amazing and quick to take your order.
