The best restaurants in Cork

24/07/2025: Very good coffee is drunk here with some very good snacks, although everything is very good, breakfast, lunch and snacks, the competition is very fierce here in the city of Cork in relation to cafes and snack bars. A few years ago, you didn't see a cafe, so to speak!!! Now they are everywhere. What I mean is that this cafe called Noir has to create its brand, its specialty, so that people are interested and identify with it. I hope it stays open for a long time and I wish you the best of luck in its development.

23/08/2026: Excellent pizza. Top class service, even charged my wife's phone 😃

03/08/2026: Delicious sandwich… soup watery a little disappointing. Staff wonderful but under huge pressure. Behind the counter a little messy … tea towel behind counter hanging off the oven looks clean but discoloured. Could do with more staff. V noisy & music loud!

28/07/2026: I'd definitely recommend this fabulous hidden gem of a cafe in Douglas Court. The food is just so fresh and real and I always feel energised after eating here. I love their protein balls, scones on occasion, lunch options such as various chicken sourdough sandwiches and halloumi flatbeeads which are served on their own or with a soup or salad option. Their new coffee is fab too. So whether you are catching up with a friend, want the watch the world go by or are taking a break from.your busy day, definitely pop in. Great snacks, drink options, breakfasts, smoothies, lunches and more. They carry an array of healthy tasty foods and drinks Mary Carmody Nutritionist

18/04/2026: Great preformance by ryan gosling. A long film but i managed to stay engaged throughout. Thank you

16/03/2026: Arty's bar is the place to go in ballincollig for a great pint, great atmosphere and live music. The customers range in all ages and nationality and are always up for a chat and a laugh and are only bettered by the staff that work there. Seamus, Aiden and Deirdre give a great welcome and even better service. This is one of the few real pubs left in ballincollig that are not trying to be something else.

17/06/2026: The best bakery in town, hands down!The sourdough bread is absolutely top-tier—perfectly crusty on the outside and airy on the inside. You can really tell they use traditional methods. Everything is baked fresh, and the staff are incredibly warm and welcoming.It is the perfect spot for a morning coffee and a treat. Cannot recommend this place enough!
