The best restaurants in Cork

03/03/2025: Ordered fish and chips along with a kebab, both were very good overall.

22/07/2025: One of the best delis I've ever visited here in Ireland! The space is super bright, spacious, well-organized, and full of small details that make all the difference—perfect for relaxing or working. The chef is incredible: super attentive, and you can tell she loves what she does. Her flour-covered apron is almost a testament to her dedication to the kitchen. The food is delicious, with great vegetarian options. If I could eat here every day, I'd easily become a vegetarian! The salads are incredible, super fresh and full of flavor—and the dressings? They're on a whole other level! They enhance everything with creativity and balance. The sandwiches are varied and delicious, and the pastries... besides being beautiful, are made locally and have an unforgettable flavor. I highly recommend them! 🍴✨

09/07/2025: I have been trying for years to find a bakery in Cork that could prepare a southern-style caramel cake, a flavour of cake my wife loves because it reminds her of her childhood in the US. Most bakeries I contacted turned me down immediately because it would mean trying an unfamiliar recipe. At The Floury Apron, they not only took on my custom order, but stayed in contact with me for the couple weeks leading up to my wife's birthday while they tried out the first-time recipe and then asking what finishing touches I wanted in terms of decoration. The cake was exactly what we wanted, gorgeously decorated and tasted amazing! We were just blown away by the personal effort made by The Floury Apron to make this happen for us. Will 100% be coming back to them for any future cake orders!

06/07/2025: It is what it is. Has not changed in years which is great as your guaranteed to be wwll fed and watered. The seats are a bit tightly compacted for let's say a private chatter, but I still love it as it is

11/06/2025: I always struggle to order here as everything is delicious. Chose the dish al forno today and it was heavenly. Can't fault it.

03/07/2025: Beautiful restaurant and welcoming staff. The food was delicious and served quickly. The potato and leek soup was amazing, it came with homemade Guinness soda bread which was unreal. The salmon was cooked beautifully and the ratatouille and potato wedges were flavorful. The steak sandwich plate was loaded with chips and a refreshing salad/coleslaw combo. The only downside was they were playing dance/club music which didn’t quite fit with the atmosphere and was quite loud. Highly recommend stopping in for lunch if you wouldn’t mind the music!

22/06/2025: We hosted a bachelorette party at this restaurant and it couldn’t have gone better! The staff went above and beyond to make everything perfect — the food was absolutely amazing. The service was warm and professional. Huge thanks to the whole team (and a special shoutout to the person who made that incredible cake!). All the guests had a fantastic time. Whether you’re planning a special event or just looking for a great spot for a casual lunch or dinner, this place is a fantastic choice. Highly recommended!

14/07/2025: The best coffee we have had since our trip back from Melbourne. Highly recommend

27/06/2025: lovely old pub, with same namesake, i arrived a bit early, but would love to have a chat with owners next time.

25/05/2025: Arrived in for a drink after dinner on Saturday in Cornstore (highly recommend). Had a pint of Guinness each and sat at the end of the bar. At 12.29 we asked for a final pint. Young barman told us the bar was closed. We were a bit shocked but took it on the chin. 5 or 6 mins later, 4 people walked in and ordered a drink. The barman served them. We asked why they were served and not us, to which he responded 'they have just come from a restaurant across the road'. We said we had just come from the same, to which we were told 'I don't need to explain myself to you'. Tbh, felt discriminated against because we didn't have a local accent. Will not go here again unfortunately. Will not recommend.

13/08/2025: Lovely food, excellent staff especially Amy who looked after us so well ( a table of 9 for a birthday)

16/07/2025: Have ordered takeaway from this restaurant several times and the food is good but very long wait times for delivery. The last time we ordered delivery they rejected the order for us being too far away (we lived 2.2km away and have successfully ordered delivery from them many times), when I rung the restaurant to query this, they said they can never deliver to us again since we are “too far” then when I said they had multiple times the person on the phone just stopped replying.

28/07/2025: We found the food and staff to be excellent In TJ's .They are an asset to the food scene in Cork .The place was buzzing!

27/07/2025: Great food, plenty of it, reasonably priced for the amount & great variety on the menu

23/07/2025: We enjoy this restaurant which offers delicious Nepalese food.

29/06/2025: The food is really good sometimes and other times not so good! Tonight it was very good. Maybe there is a different chef some nights! The restaurant feels a bit like a canteen and needs redesign! The toilet is very dirty with no hand drying facility!

17/07/2025: Excellent atmosphere and place!

14/06/2025: Bartender was amazing. Crowd was a little weird. The 17ur olds trying to enter was comical.

28/04/2025: Had my baby shower there and it was fantastic couldn't fault the place staff wore so nice and done an amazing job with decorating would highly recommend dj on the night was brilliant 👌 100% would book again

02/08/2025: delicious food, lovely and healthy and makes you feel really good, they have outdoor seating if you have a dog! atmosphere only 4 because note that they are a lot of very noisy construction works nearby, not their fault but not super pleasant. And unfortunately not actually very much choice as a vegan/vegetarian.
