The best restaurants in Cork

05/04/2024: Cool history and decor but service was sub par. No one offered to help with our bags on check in. The room was comfortable. The lounge was quaint and cozy but there was never clean up for coffee and the coffee machine was always broken. Every time we went in there to relax there were dirty cups everywhere and we had a ask for new ones and desk seemed to be annoyed and they did not know how to use the machine to refill the coffee or the milk. I guess there are also unposted hours that it is open. You can get laundry service but they do not bring them to your room, you have to ask about them. The location was great but service wasn’t.

01/04/2024: It a lovely hotel 🏨 in the centre of Cork City would recommend to anyone

24/10/2024: Sad to say, but gradual decline in quality. Used to enjoy their sushi but not as fresh over past few months, even to the point of mushy texture. Last night, the tuna looked anemic, and I had intestinal cramps this morning. Wait staff also seem demoralised and unhappy last few visits. Cooked dishes still fairly good, but I probably won't go back and defo wouldn't recommend.

16/10/2024: The food was really good and great value but they turned the music off over an hour before closing and it just felt super weird in here lol the server also seemed a bit annoyed? But it could have just felt that way because she was doing her tasks in an otherwise completely silent restaurant lol great food though, so maybe excellent for takeaway!

23/08/2024: One of the best Club houses about.

17/06/2024: Ideal for an evening bite to eat

28/10/2024: Very good burgers , chips are 10/10 (super crispy and beautifully seasoned, paprika amongst other spices). They have 2 for 1 on most days and €5 Nacho Fridays. Music is very mainstream not my scene but also a great pub for a good night.

24/10/2024: Delicious and great value for money for the food in An Bróg. I went with the Classic burger that comes with nice chunky chips. The Classic burger it's self was a 6oz monster it felt moe like a very tasty double quarter pounder. One of the most messiest and tastiest burgers I had in long time. Glad I could just about finish it. Be prepared, this is a delicious juicy messy burger! Fast service great chef, great bar staff. The inside of the pub the decor and vibe is decorated very interestingly and very cozy. Grabs your attention where ever you look.  The DJ box made of a little camper van is a great centre piece. It also has  a football table machine for a bit of fun.

29/10/2024: Step in ! Modern art exhibitions are at home. Young artists and not only displaying their work for us to enjoy.

15/10/2024: Cozy place in beautiful surroundings and with a fine menu

19/09/2024: Went our last night in Cork on a 10 day trip to Ireland. The service was great. We ordered three small plates to share along with a bottle of wine and it was plenty for the two of us. This was the best food we had on our trip. Highly recommend this on your next trip to Cork.

14/09/2024: Food and wine is always great. One of our favourite places in Cork. Will never take this away. However, we were told on 5 occasions that they wanted the table back in 30 minute intervals… this girl was outright annoying and rude… perfectly understand tables needed back but should only have to be told once.

30/07/2024: Great entertainment Great night

22/10/2024: Lovely spot for a cuppa and a treat. Friendly staff.

26/09/2024: Really excellent coffee and food. The best of people working in there too so just go there really.

29/07/2024: I used to love this place. The food is still great. The service is shocking. Two people left the queue and hurried on their way as the person taking orders took too much time and seemed in their own world. They did not check the length of the queue and never noticed the two customers who gave up and left. The second person joining to serve customers arrived half an hour after opening. Too late to make a difference in the morning rush. Coffee arrives lukewarm as it stands waiting in vain to be brought out. At times Alchemy does not open on time so people on their way to work wait in vain. It is not a new problem. The hiring is off and staff serving customers don't seem to care and can appear judgmental. There was a time when service was great and visiting was a pleasure. I like the edginess of Alchemy. I can do without the edginess in serving customers. Shame.

23/05/2024: My favorite cafe in Cork city. It has its stall inside the Marina Market and its staff is charming. I have been to both locations, I definitely recommend!

03/09/2024: The bar man was hilarious Ames gave a great review B of the city and things to do. He’s some craic. Pints were 10/10 too

20/08/2024: Lovely little pub in the heart of Cork

07/11/2024: Extremely poor customer service with rude, disinterested staff. We booked a table for 7px and were given a 2x 4 seater tables that were back to back. When I spoke to the hostess, she was incredibly rude and said that it is all that is available. " Spoke to another staff member who said "there are plenty of others in your position. " Just such an unpleasant reception from staff. So unorganised and mismanaged. Some staff training is badly required

06/11/2024: The most delicious sandwiches and soup 🍲 😋

06/07/2024: Nice wine bar with tapas style food in the happening Victorian Quarter. Particularly like the wine flights where you can try three different types of wines in each flight.

27/05/2024: What a nice wine bar, and the staff is sooooo friendly. They let you taste the wine first if you're not sure if you like it. They are in good spirits and really enjoy their work. Highly recommended!

25/09/2024: We didn't eat there, we had a few drinks and were able to watch the Barça-Monaco football match

17/09/2024: Went here last weekend and was very impressed as I’ve always walked passed but never thought to go in. Very cool decor, and the bartender Ger made us feel very welcome. 5/5 would visit again.

29/10/2024: Great atmosphere & not a bad pint of stout!

18/10/2024: We went on Thursday with live music "Insiders" and we loved it, unbeatable atmosphere, it's been a while since we enjoyed Rock music so much. Highly recommended!!

24/03/2024: We had coffee and hot chocolate here this evening. The place is warm and welcoming with comfortable seats. Staff are very friendly.

18/03/2024: Recently visited Bean and leaf and found it a really pleasant friendly experience. Coffee was nice and food fresh. Really friendly outgoing staff gave the place a lovely atmosphere. A lovely lady blonde girl served me how pleasant she was made the experience really nice. Will definitely visit again
