The best restaurants in Cork

19/05/2026: Best matcha latte and gorgeous location

07/03/2026: I didn't like the coffee and unfortunately the service was rather unfriendly :(

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.

27/07/2026: There was a mishap with the air conditioning the day before we were due to come for a Hen Party karaoke sesh, which was unavoidable and just bad luck. But Marion couldn’t have done more for us. She went way way above and beyond for us sourcing AC units and fans and taking such good care of us while we were there. We had a ball. And will absolutely be back.

15/07/2026: Spent time here with summer camp students to play bowling. Alex could not have been more helpful and hospitable. Was extremely patient and friendly with the kids, made their time here easy going and smooth. Could not recommend enough.

10/09/2026: Very clean and tidy, efficient and polite staff, and a good range of items to choose from. Plenty of seating both inside and outside in the courtyard, but the nearby road can be noisy.

24/08/2026: Great coffee and customer service ❤️

18/08/2026: The deli is open early and it's always full stocked, the shop itself is bit expensive, the staff are lovely.

06/08/2026: Pump 3 is not working properly. Not loading unlead but still counting money.

03/07/2026: Delicious, balanced flavours. Very fresh, wait time was prompt. Didn't hold back on portion size, good variety of food on their menu. Nice amount of meats in both curries, 5 star delicious. A must try, delighted we did.

13/05/2026: Best indian style dal makahni and kadai paneer with garlic naan, food is really tasty ❤️

06/07/2026: It felt like home! So many friendly people. Service was excellent! Very relaxing space to unwind from a busy day.

21/08/2026: The Market Burger is one of the best burgers to get, its very tasty, and the chips are just as good, well worth a visit. The staff are very pleasant even though they are always busy. Give it a try and check it out for yourself.

07/08/2026: Genuinely one of THE best veggie burgers I’ve ever had 😭 still dreaming about it weeks later! Literally the only thing keeping me from coming back is a 2.5 hour drive away. so please if you’re local don’t miss out on a great spot!

15/09/2026: Had a blast coming in today looking for some snacks and drinks on my road trip. I drive a Tesla (who wouldn’t), so I didn’t need to stop at a petrol station, but I made the right decision. The manager directed me to all the options they had and I was delighted dealing with herself and the staff today. I’ll be back for more snacks for sure, gotta keep in (spherical) shape!

13/07/2026: Just want to say how amazingly helpful and kind Maria was today when my dog got loose, she went above and beyond to help as she usually does in this shop, but unfortunately the manager Victoria and her horrible attitude and the way she spoke to not only Maria but also the gardai that were called (because of the dog), the gardai and someone from an animal rescue that came to help all said how badly Victoria’s attitude was and when I got there and went inside to thank Maria, she was visibly upset, not the first time I’ve heard bad things about that particular manager, but Applegreen are very lucky to still have Maria especially when so many staff have left since Victoria became manager. Thanks again Maria

08/04/2026: came bang on 8:02 served us with no problem even though they were closed great people sound out

16/03/2026: Absolutely obsessed with these mini-donuts at Marina Market! They are fried to order, so they arrive hot, fresh, and delicious. The staff is super kind and the atmosphere at the market is always 10/10. A must-visit if you have a sweet tooth in Cork! 🍩🔥

29/05/2026: An amazing building with so much to offer!

24/04/2026: Great shop, wonderful selection of all things vegetarian. From wholefoods to spices and soaps. They've got the lot. If you're looking for it and it's veggie, they've most likely got it in stock.

12/08/2026: A good restaurant offering both traditional dishes and Asian and Italian twists. I had breaded cod with mash and vegetables, while my girlfriend had salmon and shrimp tempura. Like most Irish dishes, it was all a bit heavy, but still excellent quality. The fish was fresh and well-fried. The mash tasted a bit coconutty, which was a bit strange with cod, especially if you're used to Italian mash, but it wasn't bad. The staff was very attentive and friendly. We stopped here randomly, and honestly think it's a great place to stop on a road trip. The atmosphere was like a typical Irish diner with horse racing on TV. Not bad!

29/07/2026: Had roast beef dinner, veg and potatoes very good, beef dry, cooked for too long, staff are very helpful

12/08/2026: Food was not worth the price. 6 in group including 2 children. 10% service charge added at the end. This was not clearly highlighted and was ridiculous.

08/07/2026: Very nice restaurant in a beautiful setting 🤩. Very friendly staff.

23/08/2026: tacos and nachos were delicious as was the homemade hot sauce, maybe the best margarita i’ve ever had, great choice of songs playing and our waitress was the sweetest angel, 10/10!

26/07/2026: We found it by chance and loved it, especially because of the service. All the staff were very friendly, particularly Joao who was helping us the whole time. The portions are very generous. Everything was delicious.

24/07/2026: Been a regular at Filter with over 10 years, always superb coffee and fantastic, friendly staff. Always look forward to popping in for my daily caffeine fix and chats with the staff. Big shout out to Caoimhe

24/07/2026: Nicest coffee in town. Staff are super sound! Always smiles when you pop in😁
