The best restaurants in Cork

17/08/2025: Very nice Place; charmante Service

17/08/2025: The breakfast here is very good, hearty and cheap. The staff is super kind and friendly. I highly recommend it.

09/09/2025: Pizza and service was amazing will definitely be a returning customer and if in cork this is a must place to eat.

08/09/2025: We loved our dining experience at CRUST! The owner waited on us, and checked on us, and took time to chat with us. Pizza and drinks were delicious. We would definitely recommend this little Gem to others.

18/08/2025: Good restaurant, very good, there were 10 of us, good atmosphere, the dishes are also delicious

15/08/2025: I wouldn't recommend this restaurant if you're craving genuine Italian cuisine. I ordered the carbonara, which immediately raised concerns when I saw cream and garlic listed in the ingredients on the menu. Despite my reservations, I decided to give it a chance since I was looking forward to some pancetta. Unfortunately, the dish arrived with small pieces of bacon instead of proper pancetta, served over spaghetti. My girlfriend tried the spicy beef ragu, which felt like an unnecessary and inauthentic twist on a classic dish. We also ordered the calamari for €11, only to receive what was clearly frozen calamari. Completely unacceptable at that price point. Overall, the food felt overpriced for what amounted to basic preparations that I could easily make better at home. If you're seeking authentic Italian flavours, you'd be better off looking elsewhere.

21/08/2025: The prawn starter was fantastic. Unfortunately the mains was not as good. The fries were obviously blanched several times and were greasy and yellow. There was senior waiter on duty with an obviously inexperienced waitress who was doing a good job but he made it known she was in training to some if the patrons which was bad form. Everyone starts somewhere so I gave her the tip directly.

13/08/2025: A Fantastic venue located in Ballincollig Cork City. We visited today I had the corned beef absolutely delicious. I will definitely return.

30/08/2025: Fantastic - great people doing great things. Lovely coffee and pastries, with some lovely homewares too! Great batch brew and loads of options on great coffee beans for home too.

14/08/2025: Great coffee,fresh pastries and friendly staff

31/08/2025: Small but clean place. The food was good, as was the hot chocolate, and the prices are reasonable. You can choose between savory and sweet options, of course. I recommend it.

29/08/2025: This is the best bubble tea I ever had, lychee green tea 🍵 with mango 🥭 popping bubbles, it was recommended by the lovely lady at the counter. The size of this tea is generous and it is so refreshing. The customer service is 11/10 very nice people working here. Definitely pop in here for a drink 🍵

08/09/2025: So cute! I was actually a bit ill the morning we went so I was relieved they had just toast as an option for this menu - my friend had eggs with spinach and we both enjoyed the food and atmosphere. It was petty busy that morning so service was on the slower side. If we were in Cork for longer we'd definitely come back!

07/09/2025: I came to eat an Irish Breakfast and it tasted really good ! The service was great and I passed a really good time !

21/08/2025: Family friendly and good value. Top class desserts.

19/08/2025: Nice atmosphere, delicious pizza at a great price!

14/08/2025: One of the best burgers I've eaten.

12/08/2025: Easily my favourite burger spot in Cork City. The atmosphere is cool and welcoming, the menu has so many great options, and every burger I’ve tried has been delicious. I’ll 100% be back for another visit. Can’t wait to go back again.

23/08/2025: We went for breakfast and it was very good. We ordered the American breakfast, which included two pieces of toast, scrambled eggs, and your choice of main course. It also included juice and coffee or tea. The pancakes were also good. Reasonably priced. Recommended.

23/08/2025: AWESOME! Incredible, high-quality, fresh food, everything excellent.

17/08/2025: Beautiful fresh food. Very impressed with the portion sizes. Staff are very friendly. Great choice on the menu.Catering for vegetarians and vegans.Great selection of desserts.Highly recommend 12 Tables.

03/08/2025: Smashing place. Breakfast tacos amazing as always

15/07/2025: A charming café where you can enjoy a delicious coffee, either alone or with friends. Recommended

13/07/2025: Very nice here. The coffee tastes great with all the delicacies they offer – hearty and sweet.

23/07/2025: A great spot for many a year in Cork. Still fab.

23/07/2025: I was here for a work function, and everything was great, food, service, people, and location. Food is on the higher end in terms of cost, but quality matched it. Recommend a visit!!!

07/09/2025: The grilled fish has a tender texture that creates a delightful melting effect when eaten, providing a rich and flavorful experience.. Authentic Japanese cuisine is a must-try. Tonkatsu is fine but nothing special. Portion is huge.

07/09/2025: This is one of the best jap restaurant in Europe!!! It’s very small so you have the option to take-away and have your meal at the pub just crossing the street where the owner is very friendly too! Mandatory to taste it !!

26/08/2025: Great food and great service. Thanks!

23/08/2025: A very good pub. Friendly staff. I can't say much about live music because we went in the middle of the afternoon. Recommended.
