The best restaurants in Cork

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

01/10/2025: Amazing vibe and people, the concert was super

17/08/2025: Sian really made my birthday. A True queen. We love here

04/04/2026: Food itself was nice. Was disappointed to not be able to edit burgers (e.g. remove sauce) on the screen so had to order at the counter but member of staff was more than happy to help. Ladies toilets upstairs didn't have any paper in and neither of the toilets would flush.

06/03/2026: I will not be supporting the Bandon road supermacs any longer due to inconsiderate management. A week prior I ordered from a different supermac and honest mistake, placed another order and forgot to change the pick up address. I immediately called the supermacs and asked for my order to be transferred to Bandon supermacs, which they were 100% willing to do. However. Bandon supermacs was not willing to accept the transfer order from the other supermacs francise, even though they called to confirm the situation. I have been coming to Bandon supermacs every friday in support of the business, but will no longer do so.You have lost a loyal customer.

29/12/2025: Decent place to watch sports - they have a big area out the back with large screens - and allows smoking.

06/12/2025: Staff are very friendly, welcoming, and helpful. Burgers are amazing!!! So tasty.

18/03/2026: As always good coffee, excellent service

05/03/2026: It's a typical Starbucks coffee and scones nicely prepared and plenty of seating.

03/10/2025: Today I went to Velo Café, totally exhausted and struggling with the weather. I had a big buggy and wanted to sit outside. But the lovely lady invited me to take a seat. I just got green tea, nothing else, but the treated us like a VIP client. I was able to feed the toddler and just got a break from my day. I'll be coming back here because the staff is absolutely lovely. Reny&Jude

21/09/2025: We have never waited that long to get our food in cork.

26/03/2026: 22nd Sunday night I was met at the door by security man Stephen Crowley, an was told that I couldn’t come in because I apparently stole a glass, when I was drinking vodka rasa (a drink I never drink) as I work in a bar myself an see the outcome of the drink I was never drown to ever buy one, so for him to accuse me of stealing a glass is very unprofessional, I rarely come to Reardans an will probably not come back for a long while if the bouncers love to make up lies for so entry

28/02/2026: Met Conor, Darren & Britney tonight they were absolutely brilliant to me & my partner visiting Cork for the weekend! Made us feel right at home and went over and above for us. Great bar, will be back !

26/09/2025: Stopped by this coffee shop this morning for a cortado and something to go — and wow! The cortado was absolute perfection, and the almond croissant was just as impressive. To top it off, they were playing Radiohead, which gave the place such a great vibe. Highly recommend if you’re looking for fantastic coffee and fresh-baked goods!

15/08/2025: Delicious espresso at a good price

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 🤣

29/10/2025: I usually go to this place after doctors.

02/10/2025: Came here on a busy day when they were really understaffed. The staff were so lovely and patient with everyone even though they were clearly stressed. Very impressed

11/11/2025: This place is a gem! A great spot for breakfast or lunch. Poached eggs on sourdough toast was scrumptious as was the chicken tarragon + stuffing sandwich also on sourdough. Very reasonable prices given the high quality ingredients. Really good coffee too. The interior is gorgeous: cozy wooden tables and benches strewn with cushions (you almost completely forget you're in the center of a business park with major construction going on nearby). It was bustling on a Monday morning.

29/08/2025: Fabulous fresh food. Fabulous chill environment. Fabulous staff.

20/07/2025: I ordered the "kebab box" from this establishment and got a small box mostly filled with chips. I returned to the shop to tell them I didn't order chips and that chips were not in the description of the "kebab box" only to be told that of course chips are included in the kebab box. Doesn't seem logical to me, would avoid.

22/03/2026: Great shop, handy location. Pitty about current fuel prices but it's out of their control.. staff are friendly and facilities are spotless

16/02/2026: Noce place for sweet tooth's ❤️

18/12/2025: Had the most delicious pizza here recently, and the garlic bread was divine! The staff are so friendly, its such a lovely cosy pub with a really nice atmosphere. Will definately be back👍

15/12/2025: Great spot on your way to Pairc Uí Chaoimh or the Marquee!

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!
