The best restaurants in Cork

13/09/2026: I don’t think there is a tastier hamburger place than Bunsen.

06/09/2026: Nice chips and burgers, worth all the money

05/08/2026: The service was 4/5 👍. Unfortunately, twice we were served food that belonged to another table, but I understand that mistakes happen, and it was actually quite funny. Unfortunately, my burger was very dry and in places badly burnt, which made it taste bitter. Even worse, my daughter's chicken sandwich contained a bone! Thankfully, it didn't end with a broken tooth.

12/06/2026: €14:90 for the most disappointing eco chicken curry from eco at the marina market. No curry sauce & tough chicken. We live close by so opened it at home & it was not eaten. What a waste of money.

14/08/2026: Bar staff are very poor, unable to take multiple orders. Very slow service. Otherwise nice place with good atmosphere.

05/07/2026: What a super pub with excellent staff! Excellent Beamish!

02/06/2026: Excellent food and coffee in a superb location.

25/05/2026: I tried a sausage roll with black pudding. It was a fantastic modern twist on a traditional Irish flavor. It was freshly baked and fragrant, the dough was crispy, and it was generously filled. Locals were coming in one after another to buy them, and I loved the homey atmosphere. It's easy for tourists to enter, and I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to experience authentic Irish flavors. Thank you for letting me use your restroom. Tá sé ar fheabhas🇮🇪

06/08/2026: Thank you to Helen who went above & beyond in helping us today.

03/08/2026: I think I've just about gotten over the fact that this building previously housed the wonderful Roches Stores, however this Marks and Sparks is an excellent department store with a particularly excellent food section. good. Nice cafe on first floor, but no toilets there. Staff are a mix of indifferent and very helpful. Great central location in the city.

08/08/2026: Great vibe. You can sit down on a cozy couch and get some work done on your laptop or sit outside and watch the world go by all the while sipping on amazing coffee and they have delicious lunch options too. Ooohh and the brownies are to die for!! The fantastic background music always draws me in.

03/08/2026: Great place great staff .. and great coffee

28/04/2026: Lovely atmosphere. Would recommend.

12/04/2026: Room with good sound, although very peculiar access.

01/09/2026: A very positive experience. We had a lovely lunch,the staff were very helpful. I forgot my scarf and phoned the cafe, The lady could not have been nicer,She is sending it on. What a great service. We will be back

02/08/2026: Excellent sandwiches Great coffee Friendly efficient staff.

10/05/2026: Great spot, get coffee here every weekend and the occasional hot chocolate, would recommend.

09/04/2026: Lovely place great coffee and nice staff

19/08/2026: Small and busy place but we had a good time here. The food was amazing!! Great Char Kway Teow with full of “Wok Hei”😅. Highly Recommend

18/08/2026: Went there for dinner with my brother. I got the masaman curry and it was delicious. The portion was large too. I got a lot of chicken in my meal. I have food allergies and loved that the menu by the door outside tells you what allergies are in what dish. I loved how they split the menu into different sections like stir fry, noddles, rice dishes etc. It is very small inside but if you can get a seat there go in if you want dinner. They also do these drinks, Palestine cola, Palestine lemon lime. Brilliant atmosphere inside and people from all different backgrounds went in while we were there. Worth a visit if you like noodle, curry dishes and if you have any of the main food allergies there should be a dish or two to suit you. You can also order food for takeaway or delivery within a certain distance. I don't like spicy food and my curry was not one bit spicy. My brother got a spicy dish he loved. They are open 3pm to 8.45pm Tuesday to Saturday. They are closed Sunday and Monday. I will definitely be going back to this hidden jem again. The prices are not bad for what you get.

20/08/2026: Hidden gem of a pub. Much prefer it to the usual tourist traps.

29/06/2026: A local pub in Cork, Ireland. Great place to share a pint with the locals

11/08/2026: Sara was amazing! She was very friendly, helpful, and explained everything about Costa Coffee so clearly. Great customer service and a lovely experience. Thank you, Sara! ☕️😊

18/06/2026: Really lovely staff and the best truffles you can buy. I love to call here when I'm in the city.

15/07/2026: Food was decent service was good but it took quite a while to get the bill. We also needed a few things like ketchup and had to go up to the bar to receive it. Atmosphere was okay, lots of kids which makes it quite noisy.

06/07/2026: Great atmosphere, great burgers (best in Cork apparently!) Friendly staff. Highly recommended for families with teens
