The best restaurants in Cork

14/02/2026: Shocking experience once again , as per as a family who recently moved into the area and would love to make this pub a local for food and drink we tried it again and told that we couldn't have a drink as the bar was for food , while a bar was half empty and staff tripping over each other engaged in conversation at the bar in our past experience we were send to the residents lounge and told by the bar manger in there he was reserving tables for the locals and how long would we be there , we have family that drink there and highly recommend the place but I can say from trying over and over again and ending up in disappointment every time and rude management I look forward to the Wilton bar being renovated and walking place this establishment. Disgrace

11/02/2026: A great bar where the staff and locals are extremely friendly. A great atmosphere with some brilliant characters. And if you're into horse racing or football, there are various screens without the volume too loud.

27/02/2026: Absolutely amazing food and customer service today from these guys. Recommended me a burger and was the best i have had for a long time. Great people. Great attitude. Really enjoyed it

16/01/2026: I can’t even think what to write here other than the fried chicken is AMAZING!!!!! We’ve eaten in and had take out and either is excellent!! If you want some yummy fried chicken THIS is the place!!! Period …

16/12/2025: Great place, go everytime I'm in Cork. Also dog friendly

02/12/2025: I’m reluctant to leave a good review because it means that it will get more popular! This was my first visit but it won’t be my last. I had coffee and French toast with maple syrup and bacon. The French toast was yummy, with a lovely hit of cinnamon, good maple syrup accompanied by crispy, streaky bacon. The service is friendly and efficient and the space is cosy. A definite five stars.

26/10/2025: I never got to go in, but locals will rant and rave about this place. We rang the doorbell and were greeted by an amazing woman. Sadly they had no more room left, but she was the sweetest person. Hopefully we can visit again soon, and have an amazing pint (which every waitress and waiter told us is the best place to have one)

09/09/2025: Best Cork pub I've been in to, and I've been here 29yrs. Didn't even know it existed. Drove past it so many times. Looking forward to my next visit 😊

03/10/2025: Today I went to Velo Café, totally exhausted and struggling with the weather. I had a big buggy and wanted to sit outside. But the lovely lady invited me to take a seat. I just got green tea, nothing else, but the treated us like a VIP client. I was able to feed the toddler and just got a break from my day. I'll be coming back here because the staff is absolutely lovely. Reny&Jude

21/09/2025: We have never waited that long to get our food in cork.

25/02/2026: Very quiet when we went, but absolutely lovely. Big portions. Chi Chi Chicken was top class. Took a chance and walked in, don't regret for a second. Will definitely be back.

23/02/2026: The food here is really good and tastes just like asia

07/03/2026: My absolute favourite Indian restaurant 🙏🏻

14/02/2026: Waited an extra 20 minutes after my order was supposed to be ready then got home which is 35 minutes away and they didnt give me the naan bread after crossing it off the recite!

02/11/2025: We ordered the communion package last May. The ordering process was very easy, Audrey was very helpful. The food was ready on time, all delicious and everyone was complimenting it. I’d definitely order again.

09/10/2025: They brought several cupcakes at work for an event, I tried the chocolate and strawberry one and I've never tasted so artificial flavours before. The chocolate tasted like those chocolate easter eggs you get at the supermarket where the chocolate gets white after a while cause its so cheap and the strawberry had so much sugar in it my teeth started to ache.

11/03/2026: Hands down the worst pizza I have ever had. It was just slapped together and served to us. 3 ppl ordered the pepperoni extravaganza land 2/3 got pepperoni on their pizza like you would expect. I had 110 total pepperoni on a 12 inch pizza. It’s sad. I paid more than they did and got less of a “pizza” than they did. I took pictures to show the difference between them and me. It sucks because it wasn’t even good so we just left it as is and got out of there as soon as we could. Don’t go here if you want quality pizza. This place isn’t for you

19/02/2026: For a cheap meal this place was fine. I would go here again as the pizza was cooked perfectly with minimal burning. Most places that use this method burning the pizza but the chef here takes care. Thanks for the meal 😋

24/12/2025: Awesome tacos and great drinks at Black Dog Tacos! One of the few places in town where you can get really good quality tacos — fresh, flavorful, and packed with tasty ingredients. The drinks are just as good, with a nice selection that goes perfectly with the food. The vibe is fun and relaxed, and the staff are welcoming. Definitely a go-to spot if you’re craving tacos and a great drink in Cork! 🌮🍹

23/12/2025: Amazing food and incredible music.

01/12/2025: Great atmosphere, excellent music and efficient service.

18/11/2025: Fabulous, cosy, dog friendly pub, great atmosphere and great music on Saturday evenings.

26/09/2025: We were passing through when we came across The Max Bite. At first we were skeptical, but the owner made us a phenomenal kebab. Honestly, it's in my top 3 kebabs I've ever had. It's a shame we won't be able to come back for a second visit anytime soon;)

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.

23/10/2025: Great doughnuts especially the apple crumble 😋

14/03/2026: Great food. Friendly staff. Good atmosphere. Stopped in for dinner with two friends recently on a Saturday evening.

08/03/2026: Thank you for a lovely dinner , we will definitely come back 😊✨

25/02/2026: Truly A Feast For the senses. Never before have my tastebuds been so vigorously stimulated. My entire family still Crows about tss restaurant. Glory to the GWCR! Attached is a photo of the meal, and another photo of a satisfied consumer of this delicious medium (meal) 💨💨

20/02/2026: Very good restaurant, they have takeaway and home delivery, excellent and varied food, I recommend it 100 stars.
