The best restaurants in Cork

06/08/2026: The food was plentiful and delicious. The value for money is excellent. The staff is very friendly.

03/08/2026: Very nice Chinese restaurant, food is authentic, a lot of choice, highly recommend

08/08/2026: We had a great stay in Talbot hotel. The room is spacious and very comfortable and had a great shower. Specially the hotel has non feather rooms and an air conditioner in the room’s. If the price is right we will definitely come back to stay again.

29/06/2026: Great experience at the Talbot. My wife and I stayed there for a gig at Virgin Media park. It wasn't quite a close as I thought but the hotel was really nice and the staff couldn't have been nicer or more responsive.

25/07/2026: It was our first stop in Cork. Cheap and a great atmosphere.

07/07/2026: The service was wonderful, so much so that we went back. The first time we went in the late afternoon and enjoyed live Irish folk music. The second time was around 1 p.m., and we enjoyed a much more relaxed atmosphere with The Pogues playing in the background and some excellent local stouts, Beamish and Murphy's. If I return to this city, I will definitely go back.

24/08/2026: Good vibes and good food. Will be coming here more often!

13/08/2026: Great breakfast, great coffee and great staff.

31/07/2026: If you are a wheelchair user or have any sensory disability like vision loss you can forget this place. It doesn't matter how good the food is if it's not inclusive. Cork needs better accessibility to businesses for disabled people.

31/07/2026: Great food,cheap and quick service 10/10

30/08/2026: Food was lovely and a good selection. Unfortunately the service wasn't great. Yes, we were sitting outside but the restaurant wasn't very busy. Nearly 30mins for empty plates to be taken. We had to go in and order our desserts as we weren't sure how long we would be left waiting

30/08/2026: A nice Italian restaurant with good pasta and very friendly service. You can choose to sit either indoors or outside.

12/04/2026: Absolutely blown away by the cake Karolina made for my wife's 40th. She managed to pull this together at short notice, and the quality is outstanding—it looks like a work of art. Fantastic service and a talented baker. Will definitely be ordering again!

08/08/2026: Great pub! Everyone was so nice.

26/07/2026: I have heard it all now! I love this pub and its location. I regularly stop on walks through the city for a pint or two. I normally sit outside with my dog to enjoy the good weather. This evening it wss a bit chilly so I went inside to be informed that the pub was not "licensed" to have dogs inside. What a load of nonsense. Lucllkily there are other pubs who are genuinely dog friendly in Cork city.

24/07/2026: I loved everything about this little sushi shop except for the excessive mayonnaise drizzle on my rainbow roll. The rainbow rolle looked absolutely beautiful. And when I scraped the mayonnaise off it was very tasty. But if you just eat it with the mayonnaise all you taste is a mayonnaise. I would go back and I would order a rainbow roll again but I would ask them to either skip the mayonnaise sauce or put it on the side of the plate. I also had the matcha and a cookie and I was very happy with my meal overall.

20/07/2026: The atmosphere is so cozy and lovely, the drinks are priced reasonably and the sushi is beyond impeccable! I haven't tasted any sushi like it. The litle barista asian boy at the counter makes you feel so welcome.

09/07/2026: I like this place. Friendly welcoming staff. Plenty of room. I didn't try the food in here so I can't comment on that

24/05/2026: Lads take down the Christmas decorations it's May

31/08/2026: I'm very satisfied because my partner and I went for lunch and I ordered salmon without specifying that I'm lactose intolerant. When the dish arrived, I immediately realized my mistake because it was a cream sauce and I couldn't eat it. I explained this to the waitress, and she promptly offered me another salmon dish and asked how I wanted it prepared and what side dish I'd like. The new dish they served was delicious, perfectly cooked with vegetables and fries; in short, I loved it. The manager came to ask if everything was alright. Thank you for your kindness, professionalism, and all the attention we received. We'll be back soon.

30/08/2026: Fantastic spot staff are amazing and accommodating, food is fabulous highly recommend

13/09/2026: They served my dinner, never received any cutlery.The time someone came by and I asked for cutlery my dinner was luke warm.Very disappointed, never asked was my dinner ok, felt like only a number there.Would I go back, definitely not.

31/08/2026: Phoebe and Sonya were absolutely amazing. Great service from both.

13/07/2026: There are many great sandwich options! The service is super fast and polite. There are a few (very few) places to sit at the counter and eat there if you want. I recommend it!

19/06/2026: Very good smoked chicken salad sandwich!

26/07/2026: Very nice atmosphere, with a friendly and quick staff. And amazing food quality. All at one place that you need for a perfect outing, doesn’t matter if it is lunch or dinner. Definitely give it a shot, you will never regret it.

23/07/2026: Very quite inside food is ok chips could of being warmer wrap was average

18/08/2026: This was our second time meeting here for a large family birthday celebration. Both times they managed unexpected extra people easily and professionally and gave us great space to move around. The atmosphere is busy for Saturday lunch but in a fun enjoyable way. Service is very nice and pleasant but there was a bit of a wait between courses, especially desert. In saying that they made a lovely birthday version of my sisters desert and all the servers got together to sing Happy Birthday which she loved. Food is hot, generous and delicious with a bit of traditional, a bit of Indian, a bit of Italian as well as burgers etc etc I think I had the nicest cheesecake I have ever eaten ( and I’ve had a fair few!) with their white chocolate and raspberry on a Biscoff base - I was sorry I hadn’t asked for a doggy bag for next day! You won’t be disappointed.

09/08/2026: Really good quality food. Presentation of some dishes were not great but all food was really good. Would definitely return.
