Curry Corner
Cork
27/11/2025: Nice and delicious food And Tughal Rashid very smart and sweet man
15/11/2025: Highly recommended to give the curry corner a chance.
Delivers high quality both in taste and service. I visit often and I personally recommend their lamb and chicken dishes. They have all options for naan bread and sea foods too. They also have the fast food options like the burgers doner kebabs which are also a top pick for me.
Only con is that they are only a takeaway shop.

Wabisabi
Cork
19/02/2026: We found this place by luck as we’re were looking for a place for lunch. The bento caught our eye. It could be an easy place to miss as the restaurant is upstairs and not easily seen from the street. We ordered the bento lunch deal: salmon teriyaki and also ginger and beef. They were delicious and value for money at €16.90 each. The staff and chef are Malaysians so we were confident that the food would be good. Staff were friendly and each dinner gets free green tea! We also ordered the Japanese cheesecake which was just ok as i didn’t find it as fluffy and light as it should be.
23/01/2026: i ordered the kani avo salad, and a few hours later i came down with abdominal pains and vommitting from the dish. i got food poisoning from it, symptoms still after 2 days. i dont recommend.

The Glucksman

03/03/2026: Nice to visit. Brought two of my grandchildren. They loved it.
23/02/2026: A great little gallery with really friendly staff. We went to the Dinosaur exhibition at the weekend and really enjoyed it, our tour guide was engaging and very knowledgable. I highly recommend this exhibition in particular, it's on until April 2026.

Bella Napoli
Cork
30/11/2025: Had a lovely impromptu dinner date here. Food was delicious and well priced. Small internal seating area and though tables are close together, we felt it was still private enough. Service brilliant and staff very friendly.
29/11/2025: We had a fantastic experience at this restaurant. The service was outstanding from the moment we arrived. We originally booked a table for four, but since we ended up being five, the staff went out of their way to arrange a larger table for us without any trouble. The food was excellent, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the team was incredibly attentive and friendly. We truly appreciated their flexibility and kindness. Highly recommended!

Pompeii Pizza
Cork
28/02/2026: Great pizzas and a really nice overall vibe.
There are good vegetarian options, which is a big plus. I liked almost all the pizzas, but my favourites were the Quattro Formaggi (Four Cheese) and the Marinara, simple and done really well.
The place has a warm, cosy atmosphere, perfect for a relaxed evening.
Beers are excellent, I usually go for the Chieftain IPA, and it never disappoints.
Would definitely recommend for pizza + craft beer lovers
22/02/2026: Staff were friendly service was quick! Nice menu & reasonably priced

Swoon
Cork
29/11/2025: Best ice creams I ever had in my life
03/11/2025: Ordered a hot chocolate with kinder Buenos sauce and cream. €5.40. The cream and sauce were very nice but the hot chocolate had no flavour to it at all. I went back with it and asked what was used to make it because I cant taste anything and they apologised but did nothing else.

Thali
Cork
09/03/2026: The food here is actually quite good compared to many other places, and we did enjoy the taste. However, the experience we had with seating was disappointing.
When my friend and I arrived, we were told the restaurant was full and that the empty tables we could see were reserved. While we were still standing outside looking for another place to go, a couple walked in and asked for a table as a walk-in and were seated immediately at one of those tables removing the reserved tag.
Since it was my friend’s birthday, I didn’t want to create a scene at the door. Instead, my friend called the restaurant and made a reservation next time, and only then were we able to dine in.
I can’t say for certain what the reason was, but the situation did feel uncomfortable and a bit unfair as they were walking in like us. On the positive side, the food tasted good, although the portion size could be better considering the price.
08/03/2026: Lovely small nepalese restaurant with authentic tastes

John Henchy & Sons
Cork
01/12/2025: A pub with a great atmosphere and good service; it's fast if you're expecting it, i.e., on weekends. On Thursdays it's a bit slower, but still great.
11/11/2025: Very accommodating and great to deal with for my stag party, great staff, pints of great quality including Murphys of the highest calibre and great location overlooking the city in St Lukes

Joe's and Bros
Cork
13/12/2025: Just go there and enjoy gorgeous coffee and sandwiches, you won’t be disappointed!
We were looking for a breakfast on a Saturday morning and my husband had walked passed a few times but it was always full. Now we know why.
We absolutely loved our flat whites (in gorgeous ceramic mugs) and our 2 toasted sandwiches sitting in the little indoor space. We will be back!
01/12/2025: Always the best coffee! I always go for the Greek pot or the sausage roll, best in town.
Also, they are so sound, treat everybody as regulars. Shoutout to Billy!
