The best restaurants in Cork

09/11/2025: Nice restaurant, steak bavette was delicious and chocolate tart very tasty. Lovely service.

27/10/2025: We stumbled on this restaurant after not being able to get into a different one. It was a great find! The food was incredible, the staff was amazing, and they were extremely kid-friendly! They provided us with a great experience on a busy evening, getting us in quickly even though we did not have a reservation.

09/11/2025: It’s a fantastic place , ideal for a getaway, weather with family or for a couple or even alone .

08/11/2025: It’s the little things that count and In many of these Fota are failing. One of our party ordered a coffee and asked for a biscuit to accompany it but was told you can’t have a biscuit until after 4- how stupid is that! At dinner steaks were only offered ho share for 2 people- crazy! In general the food was fine but not fantastic and certainly not great value for money. If you charge top prices you need to deliver top class food! Three times during our one night stay the room key failed to open the door which required another trip to reception for a new key. For a 5 star hotel this is simply not acceptable Fota resort needs to up its game and certainly improve its F/ B offering so I’m afraid it’s only 3 stars from me

02/11/2025: loves all his customers met with respect and welcome. beautiful food especially at a late time

28/10/2025: Incredible place, always so friendly

29/11/2025: The food was great, i just wish there were more places to sit. Their partnership with the pub next door is great though.

28/11/2025: The restaurant looks clean and small, with an open-kitchen concept that gives a cozy atmosphere. They offer drinks like tea, kombucha, and similar beverages. I ordered kombucha, but I was expecting it to be organic unfortunately, it came in a can, which was disappointing. One of the biggest issues is that there is no toilet available, which is a major inconvenience. The woman taking orders at the counter entered the kitchen area, leaned over a table not meant for customers, and started chatting loudly with the kitchen staff. One of the employees even stopped working to join the conversation. This felt unprofessional — someone not working in the kitchen should not be inside talking like that, and it negatively affects the restaurant’s image. Free tap water is provided, which was a nice touch. The food itself was good, but it took a very long time to arrive. We ordered three dishes, and after finishing two, the third one still had not been served even though we had already waited a long time. Meanwhile, the receptionist’s friend arrived and had a 5 minute loud conversation in the small dining area, which made the environment uncomfortable. Overall, it was a disappointment. If you plan to visit Miyazaki Japanese Restaurant, keep these points in mind and adjust your expectations.

29/11/2025: The food was outstanding and at a very reasonable price. They had an extensive cocktail list and every cocktail I tried on it was delicious. Finally, the staff were unbelievably friendly and perfectly rounded off a lovely evening. Totally surpassed my expectations and would totally recommend.

28/11/2025: Food was lovely, staff were very kind and attentive. I would definitely come back and recommend to friends and family!!!

25/10/2025: One of the best pubs in Cork City. Great relaxed atmosphere and pizza and pints are stunning !

09/10/2025: The atmosphere is incredible, the bar has a pet-friendly garden which makes the environment even cooler, a great place to go with friends and their punt is simply wonderful.

10/11/2025: Fantastic spot for a party. Food was exceptional and the staff a pleasure to deal with.

04/11/2025: Loved the lamb shank and the tiramisu !

14/10/2025: Old Rustic bar in South Main Street, the City Center of Cork. Across from the old Beamish and Crawford Brewary, there's a lot of history in the area. There's a younger crowd frequenting it now, and they have some seating outside. The staff are nice as is the atmosphere.

07/10/2025: Nice pub. Good music. Not the best beer selection. Used to have real candles on each table with wax spilling over the bottle they were in, now changed for fake candles. It's a pity, it was part of what made it a cosy pub.

11/11/2025: Great food & coffee. Freshly made burek was fantastic. Super friendly service. As a bonus, dog friendly 😊 which is unique in itself throughout Ireland.

04/11/2025: Best place to go for coffee/tea, food or beautiful cakes.

08/11/2025: Great little restaurant, mainly breakfast and brunch place but dinner menu was interesting and food was fab. Highly recommended

25/10/2025: Would avoid the pancetta hash and roasties, both extremely dry. Disappointing visit, although service was very good.

20/10/2025: Staying over night in a nearby hotel and popped in for dinner. Mary our server was tremendous, she made us feel welcome which made the experience that much better. The food was also very good. Would definitely recommend!

20/10/2025: Delicious food, big portions, and the friendliest staff! The beef nachos are just 👌🏽

30/09/2025: Perfect cafe for a quick bite or brunch. Coffee they serve is perfect. We also got mango smoothie which tasted heavenly. The sandwiches we ordered were absolutely tasty as well.

04/09/2025: Nice clean cafe with lovely coffee,

11/11/2025: A lovely pint in a traditional bar.

29/10/2025: Great little place to grab a pint. Staff was extremely friendly and helpful.

27/09/2025: Wonderful cocktails, great music and ambience, and I cannot say enough good things about the people that work here. I celebrated my 30th birthday AND engagement here, and my fiancée and I were shown such incredible hospitality by everyone we interacted with. I wish I could remember our bartender’s name, he truly made the night special. It’s been a month since we returned from Ireland, and our night at Paladar is one of our favorite memories from the whole trip. Highly recommend spending your time and money here!

20/09/2025: The atmosphere was good but was pressurized to finish the dinner for the next customer. I understand the time limit on the table but since we sat down we were reminded on several occasions the time limit which made us feel unwelcome.

10/11/2025: I created a video of our visit to Nano Nagle Convent. To see a complete review of our visit to this tourist attraction search on YouTube for "@travellingtourist Nano Nagle Convent”

07/11/2025: Fascinating visit, we now know the difference between a class 1, 2 and 3 relic! Thanks Tatiana for bringing it to life for us.
