The best restaurants in Cork

27/07/2025: A really great place in an unexpected location. On the way to Live at the Marquee. Friendly staff who take great care of you as a guest.

17/07/2025: Last Saturday morning I took my friend to the restaurant for breakfast for her birthday. The weather was perfect, and we were seated outdoors, it was the kind of morning that makes you feel grateful just to be there. We ordered coffees and soon after, our food. The food did take about 40 minutes to arrive, but we didn’t mind too much at the time since we were enjoying a relaxed conversation. Unfortunately, things took a turn. About 10 minutes after our meals arrived, a waiter came over and let us know our table had been reserved for other guests and we would need to leave in less than 30 minutes. He explained that the waitress had forgotten to mention this earlier. There was no offer to move us to a different table. It felt rushed and awkward, I genuinely lost my appetite. About 15 minutes later, the waitress, who was lovely and very apologetic, came back and kindly offered to move us to the side chairs so she could prepare the table for the next guests. We couldn't go inside because we had a dog with us and we totally understood that. We agreed, but sitting there we no longer felt welcome, and I couldn’t enjoy the rest of the meal. I ended up taking it with me, paid, and we quietly left. It’s a shame how the situation was handled, it left us disappointed, especially considering it was a special morning.

27/07/2025: Llegué tarde un domingo por la noche y fueron acomodados rápidamente. Bonita bandeja de pepinillos, aunque NO chutney de mango o pepinillo de lima. Se servían tuberías calientes y porciones de buen tamaño. Servicio durante la comida fue atento.

16/07/2025: Delicious food , very clean restaurant and good service.

10/07/2025: Lovely little restaurant food was exceptional

15/06/2025: Honestamente estoy tan decepcionado. Esta es mi opción - a los chinos y siempre me ha encantado su comida, pero esta vez fue completamente inaceptable. Encontré cinco pelos blancos largos durante toda mi comida. No sólo uno, sino cinco. El arroz estaba mal cocido y duro, y la carne era tan masticable que era básicamente no comestible. Honestamente, fue una lucha comer algo de eso. Realmente odio dejar malas críticas, especialmente para un lugar que suelo disfrutar, pero esto era demasiado. Espero que se tomen esto en serio y lo aborden. Me encantaría poder volver, pero no si esto vuelve a suceder.

20/07/2025: Many teenagers make a lot of noise 🫤

10/07/2025: Recently popped in for 2 x fish & chips Curry sauce, garlic mayo and mushy peas. Fish was cooked to order, it has to be the best crisp batter, flakey beautiful fish I've had in a long while, proper chips ate in the lovely cork sunshine. Will be back!

03/08/2025: Lovely meal with friends,very well looked after byvtge manager/maitre'd.Made us very welcome.

01/08/2025: I've been to Nandos here and in other cities before. I was quite surprised at how much more expensive it had become. I got a spicy chicken wrap kinda thing. It was small and arrived on a huge plate. I didn't order any sides as they just didn't seem to be value for money. The staff were very friendly and efficient. The place was a lot quieter than I've ever seen it and I reckon that Nandos may have had it's day.

18/06/2025: The usual welcoming craic..The big man was excellent with us

19/05/2025: Great bar, great beer, greatest dj I have ever seen. Really funny.

23/07/2025: I got Lunch Sandwich Special here yesterday for a small party in my house Sndwiches, wraps & rolls...different variety of each...all very fresh tasty...and all enjoyed by my guests!!!Most asked where I got them and had no problem passing on details... Would highly recommend

09/07/2025: Staff are always lovely, food and coffee are great and very reasonably priced in comparison to other establishments in the Blackrock area. Really good selection of sandwiches, almost too good though, hard to make up your mind 🤣

03/08/2025: Great bar for a bit to eat and a drink with friends

02/07/2025: We went there after a Concert. It's a really good place for having a final Beer or Gin Tonic!

24/08/2025: Have been here a few times in the last year and had wonderful lunches but had a breakfast here that left a lot to be desired. Beans were crusted as if left under a hot lamp for too long, bacon was fat stringy american style which was not nice and the butter portions where thrown in on top of the food and underneath some of it so god knows how many hands touched it before it hit the food on the plate. Normally very satisfied with NOSH but this was well below par. Food took a while to come out but it was quite busy so can't lay the fault on the restaurant.

23/08/2025: Food was very slow in coming out I was finished by the time my partner got hers.a but over priced as well

20/06/2025: Great place, great food, great craic, great music and great pints 👍🏻👍🏻

10/06/2025: Lovely pub. The inside is cute and welcoming, the staff is super nice. Outside they have a bigger area that is really nice and on Wednesdays they have the quizz, a blast. Definitely recommend coming over.

19/07/2025: Excellent food, very tasty. Really enjoyed it 😋

01/08/2025: Very good spicebag lovely people

29/05/2025: My favourite Chinese Takeaway. I have ordered from them countless times and they have only ever made one mistake which they corrected immediately.
