The best restaurants in Cork

24/02/2026: What a place to go for the grub Sunday carvery best in the country huge dinner fantastic desserts lovely pints of the black stuff great friendly staff plenty free parking great children’s menu highly recommended 25 euro for the carvery dinner and a huge dessert fabulous

24/02/2026: Fine big bar plenty of tvs to watch a match, we were in for a carvery & it was very tasty I had the Chicken supreme herself had to beef, it was delicious, lovely big portion too, would highly recommend, we definitely will be back

23/02/2026: Great place to meet friends and family for a coffee or a few drinks or a meal.

17/02/2026: I came here with my elderly parents for lunch today. On arrival there was a cosy fire lighting which was a welcome bonus on a cold wet day. We had a lovely lunch, they do a great roast there. I must say the staff really went above and beyond to look after us. We were greeted warmly & nothing was too much of an ask from our servers Fiona & Dawn. Both women were extremely efficient with our food and drinks orders. and really enhanced the experience by their warm friendly demeanour. They really went above and beyond to look after us. As a business owner myself I see staff like these as the heartbeat of successful business so well done ladies, we will definitely be back & would highly recommend!

13/10/2025: Excellent service and Murphys. Came to watch the Wales game, which they initially didn't have on. But the legend behind the bar took the time to edit the settings in order to stream BBC Wales for me. Good friendly atmosphere, highly recommended 👌

30/08/2025: Very nice pint of Coors enjoyed my evening there

30/01/2026: We were there on quiz night and it was really great. Food is lovely.

22/01/2026: Very busy spot with plenty of parking by the supermarkets,

04/01/2026: Really poor. Website advertised kitchen open until 9 pm. Tried to place an order at 19.37 to be told that the kitchen closed at 19.30. Despite our group placing an order at 19.26 and pizzas did not arrive until 19.55 they would not accept an order for two pizzas. Stonky behaviour by manager Gary Caughlan who demanded that the kitchen closed. Staff obviously still on site. No incentive to return. Would definitely not recommend this pub as a place to go to in blackrock

30/12/2025: Met friends here before a Munster game. Lovely old establishment only a short walk from Pairc Ui Chaoimh. We were able to book a table, have a nice meal And a couple of pints. Staff were friendly, efficient & helpful. A wonderful atmosphere pre game with a friendly crowd. Highly recommend this venue for a pre/post game.

18/12/2025: Amazing cozy place. Great menu and fantastic service. I tried their quesadillas and fries ! It was fantastic. Pink lemonade was also soo good. Ended by meal with the best apple crumble.

11/11/2025: Generous food portions and great service! We visited on a rainy day, so we ended up sitting indoors, but the atmosphere was still lovely. Would love to come back and try the terrace seating next time; it looks like the perfect spot to enjoy a nice meal with a view.

29/12/2025: Was in a couple of days prior to Christmas. Belting atmosphere. Had 3 packets of scampi fries as an accompaniment to the Guinness so feel the food rating is fair.

23/12/2025: A great place for a pint sitting outside on a sunny day!

28/10/2025: Brilliant pub, proper bar with great music and sports in offer. Staff are excellent.

28/09/2025: Great pub for a smashing pint of stout and reasonable on the edge of cork city.

20/10/2025: I bought a baguette with hot chicken this morning and the chicken was like a shoe sole, it was probably three days old and the baguette is also dry, disgusting! Considering the class of the store and the prices, I thought the food was of a high standard and fresh, big mistake, I will definitely not go back there.

16/10/2025: Cleanest premises ever .. food from the deli is outstanding. All staff are lovely to be with and it's always busy..

10/08/2025: Good place to go for a few drinks

30/01/2026: Cozy place to drink a beer with friends and family.

14/01/2026: Honestly, the food was not great. I ordered a blue cheese burger and the flavour was so weak that I wondered if it just was cooked next to the cheese instead. My brother had the ribs and they were alright, but nothing special. The staff were nice, friendly and attentive, but I would not recommend for food in Cork.

18/11/2025: A really proudly run family business, warm atmosphere, friendly staff and a real addition to the UCC campus area.

13/11/2025: love the place, cozy and confortable place to stay when next to university

04/12/2025: Beautiful gem of a cafe in the centre of Cork city! Stunning crockery, decor and atmosphere inside and outside the cafe in a quiet mall. But most of all, clearly the nicest hot chocolate I have ever tasted! The cakes are also very tasty and the staff is very kind and pleasant. Great place to stop by when Christmas shopping. Looking forward to call again...

02/12/2025: It's the best hot chocolate in cork. The shop itself is very charming and the staff are very pleasant and quick.

01/07/2025: The stuff is awesome, the burgers and fries are perfect.

13/06/2025: Delicious and fresh food...Friendly staff.WELL DONE!!!
