The best restaurants in Cork

22/03/2025: What a gem. Don’t leave Ireland without visiting this restaurant and bar. The food is exceptional and very well priced, served by welcoming and friendly staff. Just don’t ask for lobster - it has departed these shores for Atlantic Canada.

15/11/2024: Went in without a booking but we were served even though they were fully booked on the 2 evenings . Excellent food, excellent service, lovely environment lovely hard working helpful staff Thank you Irene & Dave

02/04/2025: Amazing Oat flat white perfectly balanced and silky milk texture. The staff are friendly and welcoming. Tried the new flatbreads, told they were home made and was very impressed. 10/10 Specialty coffee done right

02/04/2025: My favourite place to get pizza , staff are so nice and easy to have a bit of craic with. Would always recommend star pizza and grill

02/04/2025: I just wanted to take a moment to compliment you on your amazing staff and delicious food! Every visit is a great experience, and I really appreciate the quality and service you provide." So polite stuff 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

19/01/2025: Perfect spot for the best Sando ! Food is super tasty, portions are generous and the place is lovely.

16/01/2025: Good place for breakfast. The waitresses were super friendly and made an effort to understand our low level of English. Highly recommended.

24/03/2025: Went here tonight for my first time, spoke with a very pleasant and friendly member of staff and asked him to give me a curry of his recommendations, I cannot remember the name of it but it was hands down the nicest curry I have ever tasted, a sweet and savoury flavour, had it with pilau rice. Will definitely be going back there again. This place is a 10/10 for me, the food tastes top quality.

15/03/2025: Amazing food , great staff allround , best takeaway in Cork city ,

19/02/2025: My family and I visited this elegant Indian restaurant over the Christmas holidays. The restaurant is located in the heart of the city. For starters, we ordered an Assorted Indian snacks. This was scrumptious to say the least. In the mains, we got a Chicken Biryani, two Bombay Aloo’s, a garlic naan, and a cheese & onion naan. Since my partner and I are vegetarian, we chose the Bombay Aloo. This was one of several vegetarian options they had on their menu. We quite liked that they had vegan options as well. The food and service were impeccable. Being of an Indian background, I must say that the quality of their food and the balance of their spices was quite remarkable. It is certainly up there as one of the best Indian restaurants I have dined at outside of India. I would highly recommend this spot to any food lover who cherishes exquisite Indian food. It was worth every penny 😋 You will thank me later!

17/02/2025: Delicious, beautifully spiced food; friendly and efficient service; definitely worth a visit if you’re in Cork city!

13/02/2025: Típicamente un lugar encantador y uno que tendría nombres de una de las mejores pizzas en corcho, pero gracias al gerente (Ciara) nunca pedirá desde aquí de nuevo. Tono grosero y terrible la comida se enfrió incluso que viven a poca distancia y no hay satisfacción solo un gerente que no conseguiría un trabajo para la peor empresa de servicios al cliente que existe

09/02/2025: Pide comida regularmente a Donatellos. Recomendaría encarecidamente tanto la comida como el servicio es siempre genial sobre todo gracias a Mario

27/03/2025: Very good service, lots of kids from local school at lunch time. Very relaxing

14/03/2025: Very expensive place for coffee

18/01/2025: Excellent range, automatic tees up golf ball for driver and has a large putting and a short game area with bunker.

28/11/2024: Great place to train strokes, near a great pub, I recommend very much

18/01/2025: A big name, but a bitter disappointment. Stinky atmosphere, miserable drink selection, bored staff, mediocre products.

14/01/2025: Love the Met, central and lovely grub ! The best afternoon tea in the city too

13/04/2025: Cosy spot, lovely staff, underwhelming food. The vegan sushi I got was nice, but the ramen was really underwhelming, literally tasted like just veg stock, with thin rice noodles, a few chunks of carrot and cabbage with crispy onions on top. I've never had trouble getting vegan ramen, and usually, it will have your staple ingredients like shiitake, nori, tofu, and more depth to the broth. Can't speak for non vegan dishes here. Again, the vegan sushi was lovely, but if you're looking for vegan ramen, this isn't the place.

21/03/2025: Food is tasty. Enjoy every time I eat there. Lovely staff members!

22/03/2025: I ordered the massaman curry and the pad thai from here and it was by far the best pad thai I've had. The massaman curry was also amazing. I'll definitely be ordering again. Highly recommend.

24/12/2024: The Massaman curry was very good and I did expect that considering the chef was from Malaysia. Other items are good as well and the seafood seemed fresh. One thing I did not like is the serving bowls, it is quite hard to eat from it. Hope they can change it to something tried and tested. Overall would recommend for east Asian food in the black market.

06/04/2025: Really amazing burritos, can get super busy during mealtimes but the food is worth it.

30/03/2025: Much better than boojum. Staff in dennehys Cross are very helpful
