The best restaurants in Cork

28/01/2026: Super friendly staff, food is good and prices are fair. Hidden gem in the Cork landscape

23/10/2025: Seems to be only a haven for racist and fascist ideologies. Walking down the street, I took off a sticker for an openly fascist political party on a pole near the cafe. Almost immediately, three men ran out from the cafe, dressed in clothes that indicated they worked there. They screamed at me, threatened me, and intimated that they had put up the sticker. I have no idea if the owner holds these views or is aware that at least three people working there do so, but it certainly casts doubt on the cafe’s name and reputation.

18/12/2025: Superb. Best Burger i ve tried in Ireland

28/11/2025: I got a burger and chips here. The food was pleasant and the staff very friendly. The Black Market was freezing cold but that is not the fault of the vendor.

09/04/2026: Me and my boy friend used to like here. Get a quick meal and the price is reasonable for students

20/03/2026: my thirteen year old cousin is obsessed with this place. particularly the mr breast burger. i followed him on his date with his girlfriend the other day.

18/02/2026: Went in here for a quick drink. Had Murphys and a G&T. Prices on par with other pubs in the area and London. They had the 6 Nations game on (Ireland v Italy). Wasn't a loud pub as sometimes you expect with pubs showing sports. Would recommend

22/01/2026: Could be a good pub but the owners distaste towards the English came across very badly. Traditional Irish pub with a great selection of beers but hate the English, stay clear.

27/10/2025: Excellent Chinese. I'm not from Cork, stumbled across Noodlee Mahon. Friendly staff, more importantly the food was very good. Most bad reviews seem to surround the delivery time, didn't impact me I was in the shop. I'd 100% recommend and will return if I'm back down that way.

15/09/2025: We ordered take away few days ago and it was delicious, my wife got vegetarian chicken cow main and I got black bean chicken. Food was great, delivery less than 30min. Will order again for sure

11/01/2026: The only Chinese I'll go to. Satay is the best in cork, prices are really good and portions are unreal

19/09/2025: Chips were okay, warm but not the best, the chicken was horrible, and I genuinely cannot stress that enough it came cold sort of, and some of it was crispy but majority of the pieces were half soggy which is disgusting and I couldn’t eat it.

16/11/2025: It’s great place! Thank you the barista Matheus good service and care with clients! Congratulations 🇮🇪

01/09/2025: Only takeaway cups despite having seating inside and outside. That's enough to put me off but the quality of the coffee has declined too.

16/03/2026: Travelled down for a meetup for the Irishmags, nice welcome in pub. Pints were lovely especially Murphy's. We got platters of food and it was excellent , chicken wings amazing

15/03/2026: Nice bar a bit off the beaten track in Cork but well worth a visit. Great pint of Beamish and they show live sport. They do great food but we didn't get to try it.

16/11/2025: Consistently excellent food and service. There is a separate vegan/vegetarian menu with a range of good options.

06/09/2025: Fantastic hotel and restaurant. The food was top notch. Highly recommend this place. And you never know who you might meet

08/07/2025: The worst tiramisu I have ever had. The layer didn't go well. I felt more like eating a dry tiramisu with not properly layered with cream. And the coffee powder sprinkling was so bad. They use the same base for both biscoff and tiramisu.

03/07/2025: Absolutely amazing! Huge portions at a very low price, full of flavour and protein. One sandwich can feed a starving man! Friendly staff and great service in French Tacos– truly impressed. 🌟

30/03/2026: Boiling hot latte with burnt milk for 4 euro?

10/03/2026: Dolce & Salato are live savers. We had a previous caterer cancel less than 12 hours notice before an office event and Dolce & Salato saved the day. Daniel was excellent over the phone, organised sweet and savory, pastries freshly baked. Cannot thank the team enough.

12/04/2026: The staff were very attentive to me, as I didn't speak English. The fish and chips were excellent. It was clean and they played good music.

09/04/2026: Stinky greasy food, they change oil probably once in the year, but they skipped it this year.

11/11/2025: Unbelievable food, the burgers were amazing and v creative. And a full feed on their own The loaded fries are also excellent but would feed 3 people in one portion Only negative is walked in to order and waited 45 mins for the food. Was orders coming in over phone, deliveroo etc and all prioritised ahead of walk ins (or that's what it felt like anyway!!) Worth it, just order in advance

09/11/2025: Ordered at 4pm for 6pm collection. Food not ready until 620pm

18/11/2025: Had to stop in to see "the mural" and fish. There's a cool area out back. On that particular night... Not our crowd. So we left after one drink.

11/11/2025: Terrible atmosphere. Worth seeing.
