The best restaurants in Cork

30/10/2025: Nice staff, toilets available inside

29/10/2025: Tried to contact management in regards to an incident with the automatic doors to the shop. Just want to make people aware that the doors to the shop very abruptly closed on my while making my way out of there this morning. Coffee burned all over my hand, mad bruising on my right thigh. I'm a person with common sense, believe me, but the doors there are actually stupid and dangerous.

25/10/2025: nothing beats it. Best Guinness I’ve ever had. And maybe ever will have.

16/09/2025: Great bar for a quiet pint or three

21/11/2025: Any time we come in here lately for lunch or breakfast, I get mine relatively fast but my partner has been waiting 20minutes after I get mine. So I’m all done before hers comes out. What’s the point in having lunch together if it ends up we don’t have our lunch together, the place isn’t even that busy and other people that come in after us have gotten served before hers comes. If it was the odd time you would get over it but has become a regular occurrence so it’s disgrace really and we decided we won’t be coming here again.

02/11/2025: Best omelette in Ireland I ever had

27/09/2025: Great coffee and pleasant atmosphere

24/09/2025: Absolutely love this coffee it is all I drink with years and this morning I found a stone in my whole beans. My sage machine nearly broke over this. A terrible noise coming from the grinder and I took it all apart to find a stone that looked just like a bean must have been put through the roast also as it has that coating to it. Not a great way to start the morning. Could have cost me a fortune also if I kept trying to grind the beans.

13/10/2025: Best food very hygenic and very tasty food. I loved the friedrice and sweet sour chicken.

19/07/2025: Amazing good and warm and friendly service. Will visit again

18/11/2025: Very good prices. I've been going to akira for a while now, when I want some comfort food and something that is not that expensive and fancy. The girls upstairs are amazing and give you a proper japanese experience. There are some amazing dishes like the ramen, it's not that easy to find a heavy and comfy ramen like in Akira. Usually I feel Japanese restaurants have become something superfancy that don't make you feel like home. Everything is about the rules and about expensive sushi, but Akira goes beyond that. Akira takes the typical Japanese experience and brings it to your table for a really good price. To put an example the sake is something that goes for 40€ minimum in most japanese restaurants. If I remember right, you can have bottles of Sake for less than 25 euros in Akira.And even Wine. But not only focusing on the prices .Overall Akira has made me feel like the place to go, when I'm not sure what I want and never failed for a second. Thanks to all the staff.

30/10/2025: Delicious Japanese food, super friendly service, and a sensational atmosphere; for anyone who enjoys Asian cuisine like me, this restaurant is an excellent choice!

13/11/2025: One of the best carvery dinners in cork

03/11/2025: Food was was delicious and the portions were huge. Great value. The staff were very friendly and the service couldn’t be faulted. Yes the place could do with a lick of paint but overall definitely will be back

28/10/2025: Great cafe with delicious food including plenty of vegan options (including a vegan sausage roll). Coffee is also fantastic.

19/10/2025: Great place for coffee and a sandwich.

30/09/2025: I felt in China or Korea sorry I don’t know much to differentiate, I went with my girlfriend and it was amazing, very happy for the night, the food was wonderful. Impeccable service

05/08/2025: Gone veey bad and rude used to do omelettes

12/07/2025: Lovely big beer garden, authentic pizza (cash only)

10/07/2025: I was in here before the Celtic match. The place was mobbed but the staff were superb at getting people served. A good boozer with a good atmosphere and a decent pint of Murphys.

20/10/2025: Great night out, staff are friendly, great buzz to the place

02/09/2025: Great place to bring all the family for a night out.

10/08/2025: Didn't have food so can't say anything but the rob roy is definitely up there as one of the pubs in cork for all ages, music and atmosphere is top notch

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

29/10/2025: Very icy staff constantly bickering at each other. Saw rats around back of shop with open door!!! If you have any self respect, avoid this over priced deli counter. There's a spar down the road that does a nicer munch for a quarter of the price

03/09/2025: Price is a little on the high side, couldn't fault the food.

17/10/2025: It was ok in here. But the Murphy's wasn't as good as other bars near here. The service was fast and friendly.
