The best restaurants in Cork

19/08/2026: An unforgettable experience for a devoted Depeche Mode fan like myself. I was in Cork for a few days and it was a must-visit. Everything was excellent!! Breakfast, Robert's hospitality, and the lovely staff. I'll definitely be back when I return! Depeche Mode forever. ♥️

29/07/2026: Visited Cafe Depeche this week with my partner and we had a lovely time! 100/10 reccommend. The food was stunning. The atmosphere was all there - so much Depeche Mode memorabilia on the walls and all around the shop. Lastly, but not least, the staff were SO lovely and accommodating! Such a pleasure to chat with! Would love to go again the next time we're in Ireland <3

12/08/2026: Got two doner kebabs with no Chilis and extra garlic and the portion was just right and food tasted lovely

24/06/2026: Best pizza in town specifically Sami bhai is great And best wishes for nouman

17/08/2026: Such a lovely place, staff were really friendly and food was yummy!

30/07/2026: Open space, takeaway coffee cups only

20/07/2026: Food was nice, good for the takeaways

22/06/2026: Has to be the nicest lamb vindaloo ive had, 100% spot on lovely, chips too very nice hand cut chipper chips not them frozen ones. Nan bread and rice both amazing, lovely heat from the vindaloo and lamb nice and tender, the lads are sound too, nice meeting you guys, ill definitely be back, the lad from dublin in the truck if you remember 😀 amazing food 😋

19/05/2026: Baffling lack of customer service. Waited an hour and 45 minutes for a stone cold pizza to be delivered

15/05/2026: First pizza was burnt. Second pizza was only okay. Not very good especially for the price. I recommend avoiding this establishment.

22/06/2026: Fantastic stay in a beautifully refurbished room! I recently stayed at Leonardo Hotel in Cork and was incredibly impressed by their newly refurbished rooms. The redesign is both stylish and highly functional, with a lovely contemporary color palette featuring warm terracotta and dusty pink tones. The Bedroom Area: The beds are absolutely pristine, incredibly comfortable and topped with plenty of crisp, fresh pillows. The new patterned carpets give the space a very premium, cozy feel. Workspace & Amenities: The workspace area is brilliantly laid out. It features a large, flat-screen TV mounted on a chic pink panel, a dedicated desk with convenient power outlets, a matching vanity stool and a comfortable armchair. They’ve also thought of practical touches like a cooling tower fan and a well-equipped tea/coffee station. Storage & Entryway: The attention to detail continues right from the entrance. The hallway features a stunning, full-length arched mirror and beautiful custom built-in wardrobes that blend seamlessly into the room's color scheme. The Bathroom: The bathroom feels like a luxury boutique hotel. It features a gorgeous modern floating sink, an illuminated LED mirror and a fantastic walk-in shower complete with stylish vertical terracotta tiling and a rainfall showerhead. Everything was spotlessly clean. The Service: Beyond the brilliant new rooms, the staff here are absolutely wonderful—so friendly, welcoming, and helpful throughout the entire stay. Leonardo's has done an amazing job with this upgrade. It offers the perfect mix of excellent service, comfort, style, and a great location in Cork. Highly recommended!

16/06/2026: The staff was great friendly and informative. We arrived by town truck as the car rental broke down. The staff immediately made us feel comfortable. Rooms were clean and shower had great pressure. Being in walking distance to buses, train, great restaurants and shops we canceled car.

09/06/2026: One of the better Costas. Lots of varied seating and plenty free parking, + a drive through. Service is the usual "robot" from these franchises. €7 for a nice warm scone with butter/jam/cream and flat white in a proper cup. Worth a visit There is a semi-outdoor space with seating for smokers

24/02/2026: Great place for coffee and treats

02/09/2026: The waiter was lovely and they make THE best spicy margs ever.

20/05/2026: Can't speak for the food didn't have any however the bar and staff are grand with a colourful cast of patrons

19/08/2026: The food was absolutely amazing. The best food ive had out in a long time. Expensive but well worth it.

29/07/2026: Very dissapointing food and cocktails. The service and ambience werr good, however in no way did they make up for the food. Dishes were poorly designed. The dishes were uninspiring with mediocre additions.

19/08/2026: Hi, the museum is small, but very compact and informative. The many chairs for reading and reflecting on the information are fantastic. THANK YOU!

18/08/2026: A simple but interesting museum with an audio tour included in the entry fee which mashed a change from lots of reading. Good to visit before walking around the mine sites.

06/08/2026: Really delicious food, all vegetarian options amazing.

28/06/2026: Top notch food & service as always

14/04/2026: The " Mahon Point Food Court " Is Very Unique But However The Atmosphere Is A Bit Crowded But Somehow The Atmosphere Is Great Not To Bad & There Isn’t Really That Much Large Crowds But The Service Is Also Helpful & Great The Staff Are Helpful & Very Easy To Communicate With The Food Is Not That Bad But It Is Great The Overall Service Of The " Mahon Point Foodcourt " Is Fine

08/03/2026: Typical food court, but the cleaning staff have to be complimented on doing a difficult job well. Also toilets are always spotless. However, very little (if anything) has been done there to properly segregate disposable food containers. For example- NO paper cups should be allowed into the general waste bins. The centre could lead the way in terms of recycling - but it hasn't tried anything like that yet

13/07/2026: Great coffee, quick service, and a cozy place to work or enjoy a morning coffee, with the view of the Lough and its ducks and birds

01/07/2026: Nice place to go to. I'd recommend this place. They also sell duck feed as well. Only thing, if you're a vegetarian you may or may not get a veggie option depending on who's serving. Its a bit random. I managed to get it twice but magically a day later I couldn't get it. If you can get it though the sandwich is great. Edit:

03/09/2026: love this place so much, always great crowd, always the best time. so disappointed with the service tonight, very snarky bartender. she talked down to us after we questioned our half filled drink. it had been served in a different glass but that wasn’t the issue, just the attitude.

20/08/2026: I went in with a few mates and I ordered a drink and they asked for my ID as to which I gave them and they took a look at it then looked at me then told me to go somewhere else even tho the ID clearly looks like me. I added the photo of my ID and a photo of me just to prove it was definitely me in this complaint

09/08/2026: Had food here with friends last night, food was delicious and huge portions! The let down was a comment made by a staff member towards one of our party. A word of foul language was used and ‘you’re not half picky are you’. Very unprofessional

22/07/2026: Fantastic bar, great menuwings are amazing , lovely pints, friendly and helpful staff too. Highly recommended
