The best restaurants in Cork

08/07/2026: Great place where to have a great dinner with friends, the prices are fare and food is great. Totally recommend it, I’ll definitely come back to this place!

23/05/2026: The food is delicious and the service is excellent. Thank you, Haseeb 🌸

08/07/2026: Good fast service. Nice ambience. Food was good. No complaints. I would recommend.

05/07/2026: One of the best Chinese restaurants in cork. Always flavoursome and fresh. Staff are amazing and take care of you. Would highly recommend

27/06/2026: Why is the manager so angry??? Honestly the vibe I got was 100% violent. Wouldn’t want to cross her and WON’T be coming back in the future because of her. Scary 5/5. Vibes 0/5

14/06/2026: Great little spot close to where we were staying. Coffee very good, pastries are large and good value. Staff prompt and friendly. We sat on the terrace out back. Owners need to look at the balustrade at the top of the stairs. It’s in a dangerous condition so wouldn’t support someone’s weight if they didn’t notice it and leant into it.

21/06/2026: Brilliant pub, proper bar with great music and sports in offer. Staff are excellent.

09/06/2026: Those lads worked hard after the ocean to city race with the Champions League Final on too. Two class barmen in a friendly environment. Everything as it should be. Looking forward to coming back.

03/06/2026: We had our sons christening cake made by the floury apron and everything about the service was 5 stars. From the ease of organising the order, the beautifully decorated and gorgeous tasting biscuit cake, and lovely follow up. Great customer service! I will definitly be ordering my future celebration cakes from the floury apron.

28/05/2026: I highly recommend The Floury Apron! I've ordered custom birthday cakes for my kids here for years, and they consistently go above and beyond. Not only is the cake detailing gorgeous, but the quality is top-notch. Caroline is a true professional who perfectly captures exactly what we are looking for every single time!

11/07/2026: I tried some of their food, I guess it was pretty alright. But when I went to the bathroom it was designed like a labyrinth made out of bricks..? I explored a little bit of it to see if there was a bathroom in here, but it just felt like it was infinite. But then after that I had some company with me because my physical embodiment of my own sins started chasing me and wanted me dead. Especially this blue circular smiley face that had no eyes and was counting down to something, i didn't knew what that was though. Help me, I can't get out of this labyrinth.

10/07/2026: Hope they stay in business forever!

29/05/2026: We organised a 50th birthday party here. Emmet and Aoife were so helpful and accommodating, the food was absolutely delicious, the function room is a fantastic spacious venue, the bar staff were brilliant on the night I would have no problem in recommending the Mount Oval to anyone, such nice people to deal with, 👍

17/05/2026: Had to change from Guinness to Coors as it was undrinkable. The Coors that came was under filled and flat.

17/06/2026: The pastries were very good and the prices were very reasonable.

09/06/2026: This is what you expect from an Irish bakery – this ridiculously huge loaf! Chain stores like Dunnes have mountains of these massive loaves, but the sight is even more impressive in the markets. You don't see them much in Japan. This kind of thing gets me more excited than fish or meat. It's a place where I just think to myself, "This is the world!" I don't know what it tasted like because I was already full from other things. I'll buy it next time! 🍞

20/05/2026: took 20 mins just to get a smoothie and a queue piling up

17/04/2026: I had a lovely experience at jump juice today! The service person was really sweet and professional and the service itself was fast and efficient ❤️. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone

20/02/2026: Beautiful food in both premises, but on the two occasions I've visited Balance District I've met the same woman with an attitude. Never met her before , don't know her. Not even thank you after paying. For this reason alone, I won't be returning. She really is a dreadful person.

14/01/2026: So only for 1 or 2 waitresses that get distracted in conversation. I once waited 20 minutes for 2 take away coffees and then was giving then in a ceramic mug! After asking twice I was in a hurry so very inconvenient for me. The 2 waitresses were busy chatting behind the counter on a busy time, so disappointed at this. I never went for a take away coffee again. But go for breakfast from time to time.This place is amazing 👏 food is top 😋 the new waitress Alison is amazing great service and great at her job very efficient.

09/07/2026: The staff and the coffee its the perfect combination of good craic

09/07/2026: Firstly amazing coffee with amazing friendly staff but we already knew this. This is perhaps the only business I’ve seen with a proper accessible bathroom. The red cord not only isn’t hidden away or tied up out of reach, but goes directly to the floor with about a foot of extra cord to grab if needed. The facilities were spotless including all of the grab bars. The seating area inside and out was also gorgeous and clean. Also not really a big deal but I love that their ice coffee cups have a spot for a straw and an opening to sip out of

18/07/2026: Excellent burgers. Good local atmosphere. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there.

17/07/2026: Beautiful pub nice staff great food.

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

29/04/2026: Amazing service from Rachel! Made our night out so fun and memorable

05/06/2026: It's amazingggggg! I remember when I was in Italy 🥹 My favorite in cork City ❤️

19/05/2026: Great cheap and fast option for food in Cork. The pizza was delicious. The menu had a nice variety of pizza options. Seating inside was limited but it is a cool place to sit and eat.
