The best restaurants in Cork

23/05/2026: Bit slow to get drinks service initially but then really good after that and excellent food. Had a great meal.

16/05/2026: Great food, great atmosphere and excellent service. The burger was honestly one of the best I’ve had in Cork. Really nice location by the river and the whole place has a fun vibe. Staff were friendly and the food came quickly. Definitely coming back!

06/06/2026: I've been a patron of this establishment for 24 years and it has never disappointed me by far one of the best restaurants in Ireland, with amazing atmosphere and amazing food 👌

26/05/2026: The food is just okay. Not bad, not great. The Nachos appetizer was okay and the Nachos tasted like generic, store bought Nacho chips. The spare ribs were also just okay. The Taco dinner was average and the fajitas were also very average. The service was friendly but slow and the atmosphere is small but nice.

22/08/2025: shocking standards Since they closing down, raw chips , chicken burger dead dry and black inside meet , chicken wings black inside absolutely disgusting

10/08/2025: Visited Route Fourteen with my family for lunch. The food was great, the dining area was spacious, but I have a few points I hope can be considered to improve the service. There were two lunch menus on our visit: one standard lunch menu (same as website) and one specific for the day or week. We ordered from the second menu since they seemed seasonal and more fresh than the regular menu. The prices were similar to other gastropubs around Cork City. I ordered pork belly with vegetables and mashed potatoes. The pork was stuffed with walnuts and dates, a stuffing I would have never thought would taste so nice with pork. Other dishes we had were the "Smash Burger" and Reuben sandwich. We ordered chicken wings with buffalo sauce for starters. Everybody enjoyed their orders but the beef in the Reuben would be better if it was not heated much. For dessert we had a mango and raspberry cheesecake and lemon meringue. Both were presented nicely and tasted amazing. They are best eaten between two people as they are large desserts. We were seated at a bright high table by the window, however we were near a large private booking and I felt a bit under pressure as the staff were setting the tables around us for the arriving diners. Given that the venue was not busy when we arrived, I would have preferred sitting further away from the large group booking. I would highly recommend visiting Route Fourteen on your next day out for lunch or dinner at a gastropub.

29/05/2026: Nicest burger in the city, hands down. Beef quality is top class 👏🏼 the skinny chips are delicious too and the vanilla milkshake!

03/11/2025: I loved the quality of the product, however the dough has gotten worse in recent months. The toppings are still good. I gave it 5 stars because of the previous quality. I hope they go back to the original recipe.

03/11/2025: 03/11/2025 at 14:15. Ordered a hot chocolate and a kinder mocha. Server barely even looked at us as she gave us the drinks, while continuing to chat to a coworker. Gave us the wrong drinks, wouldn’t have been as bad if she wasn’t so rude.

08/10/2025: Really cute place to spend some time ! The coffee and matcha were delicious ;)

06/12/2025: I had a really good time. The person who served us was extremely friendly, wearing a cute pink Hello Kitty sweater, and was really helpful with figuring out how to get to the airport. The place is well-decorated and spacious, with lovely fabrics on the sofas and chairs.
