The best restaurants in Cork

26/08/2026: I ordered a matcha and the taste was horrible. I said to them, and in a normal place they would offer to change for another drink. But after ordered a cappuccino, they come to say me that I need to pay. Very disappointing and lack of accountability for the taste.

15/08/2026: Healthy and tasty food, efficient service, it's a shame the music was too loud.

12/04/2026: The best coffee I've ever had is all delicious and they have delicious cookies that my kids love so much as well as milkshake.

20/05/2026: Cheap stout, great atmosphere. A real locals spot. Recommended for a quiet pint and to get away from the busy soulless places in the city.

10/09/2026: I have been here quite often and every time I had a good experience, the people working there are nice too.

30/08/2026: Portions are massive compared to the other Mexican spots in cork. Definitely worth the money and you won't be hungry after. 🌯 I recommend the birria beef.

19/08/2026: vibey atmosphere and delicious scones

19/08/2026: I've been trying scones from different cafes and I found this one to be the best. We even came back on our last morning in Cork, highly recommend.

19/07/2026: Great local pub. Lovely staff and great pints

03/07/2026: Very nice and comfortable place for a beer or two, or maybe three

13/09/2026: Great place for delicious pizza at a good price, the atmosphere is super lively and they take reservations ✨

06/09/2026: A really fun, busy bar right in the centre. We came as part of a big party that had booked tables in advance and ordered food. I wasn't able to try the pizzas (I'm coeliac) but they smelled incredible and my friends said they were excellent. The vibes were buzzing and the décor is casual and fun. We loved the signs as gaeilge. ;) The bar staff served us quickly and efficiently which was quite a feat when it was so busy. They've got a lot to choose from on tap and in the fridges, which was fab. We'll definitely come back next time we're in town.

23/08/2026: Nice place, with good live music. Had the Cesar salad it was tasty and huge, for dessert we shared a brownie and a cheese cake, the brownie was my favorite.

21/08/2026: Really busy place but with credit to the staff we were seated straight away The food was served quickly, I had the chicken burger and it was really nice i would definitely eat here again

29/04/2026: Fairly steep prices for the quality of the food and the pints. Kopperberg 8.50 was a surprise. Pizzas were grand. I would highlight the pizzas tasted home made but I wouldn't recommend here if you're looking for a good bang for your buck.

12/04/2026: Great staff great pizza and great wine fab local for a catch up

13/08/2026: Nice central cafe with nice breakfasts and desserts. Excellent, polite, cheerful and smiling staff. Excellent promotion of the accompanying dessert business.

13/08/2026: The breakfasts are fantastic! Everything is super good, the service is quick, and the staff are incredibly friendly. Since we've been in Cork, we've only been coming here for breakfast! You can sit inside or outside. Highly recommended.

08/09/2026: Consistently lovely. Clean, great pastries etc., tasty coffee and the staff are excellent. Friendly and really good at their jobs.

06/09/2026: Great little coffee shop with plenty of options. Staff were suoer friendly too. Highly recommend.

02/09/2026: Great food going here for years great stuff aswell 👍 breakfast lunch dinner all good

27/07/2026: "The System is We like Over Price"!!! Bad value for money! Stealing from customers by over pricing and over charging customer's! Be careful what you order here! Their "System" is to over Charge you when you order a Irish Breakfast. I ordered a Irish Breakfast and asked what was in it before paying. My friend I was with ordered a Irish Breakfast and pointed out to me that the only thing different was a tomato that I got and he didn't. Then checking the receipt I realized I was over charged for a Full Breakfast which I didn't ask for anything extra or ask for any Full Breakfast just a Irish Breakfast and was over charged! I didn't say anything at the time of paying because I just thought it was inflation getting out of hand every day thing's is going up. But to my surprise this Cafe is Boosting Prices for what you order! When I complained the manager slipped up and admitted that their "System is to Over Price" is when You order a Irish Breakfast that they Charge You for a Full Irish Breakfast. Be careful!!! Ripoff Ireland is Back!

31/08/2026: Quite a lovely experience. Staff were immaculate, so extremely attentive and friendly from the get go. Our main was out within the first 30 mins of our booking (after devouring the lovely pork belly starter prior). I had the mushroom tagliatelle which was very delicious but extremely cheesy which made me feel quite sick and I couldn't finish it sadly. My partner had the steak which he enjoyed and it did taste amazing. We shared a bottle of wine between us which was gorgeous too! €120 for two mains, a starter and a bottle of wine which isn't too bad! The hotel itself is very classy and the bar area seemed nice and was quite busy on the Friday night so we didn't stop in. The only problem I had with the hotel is that the ladies toilets are a bit old and could use with a refurbishment. Awkward layout and not a lot of cubicles. Overall, I really recommend Helena's! I would come back again on another occasion.

27/08/2026: Staff and vibe great but food poor quality, badly executed and overpriced, light bites in the bar top clase
