28/08/2026: Great food and service, mixed kebab and curry fries were delicious

07/09/2026: We had the best meal at the Glass Curtain for our anniversary! We were sat right in front of the kitchen and watched the staff meticulously prepare every plate. The tasting menu was so interesting and delicious (we’re still thinking of the smoked tomato days later!) and we loved the wine pairing! We were able to sample wines we wouldn’t have otherwise chosen. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone traveling to Cork.

03/09/2026: Just back from an amazing experience at The Glass Curtain, seated at the bar with some American visitors and, together, we learned so much about the menu, local producers and ingredients -food and drinks! The food was absolutely spectacular and the recommended wine pairings were excellent. Tom is an absolute gem behind the bar, so friendly and knowledgeable, whatever he is being paid they need to double it! Definitely coming back when I’m in Cork next, best meal I’ve had in ages and great fun with it.

24/07/2026: Couldn't fault this place , if you have to wait for a table it's worth it.

21/07/2026: Lovely place, food was very tasty, nice relaxed atmosphere

14/08/2026: We stayed for 2 nights in the one of the lodges on the resort ( with a family of 8, 6 adults and 2 kids) there is plenty to do on the resort walks, golf, spa swimming pool, and Fota wildlife park itself. Would highly recommend it if you are thinking about it. Close by there is the Elm tree restaurant Brambley lodge cafe and Cobh is only a short 10 minute drive where you have plenty more activities to do, pleasant stay and if we are doing this type of holiday again we will be back

28/07/2026: Beautiful hotel with spacious and comfortable rooms. It is a little outside of Cork, which makes for a relaxing and quiet stay. We enjoyed our time here, and the team at the hotel were welcoming.

07/07/2026: A new Pub here for a while now seems doing well due the location be in city centre be just around the corner the famous street for food, and não posso deixar de falar do/a barman’s here in paladar they are very friendly, professional and never see no one person inside very drunk probably because I was there a couple times only, but is a pub very respectful, far my view seeing and the people felling good they keep coming back, congratulations for the good work and amazing service.

28/06/2026: Absolutely stunning restaurant in Cork city. Paladar has a diverse range of cocktails which certainly do not disappoint. The food is bursting with flavour and is perfect for sharing. Service was fantastic, everybody was very welcoming and friendly. Definitely will be back!

16/08/2026: Lovely place, the portions are huge - you pay once and can feed your family a wonderful dish for a week 🤭 The menu is diverse. I personally appreciate the vegetarian options and the fact that you can change the spiciness of the dishes. Prices are reasonable for the quality and size. All the staff are very friendly and attentive. The atmosphere in general is very warm and welcoming.

16/08/2026: Most delicious asian food in cork hands down!!!!

13/08/2026: Fabulous experience. Food was great, service quick and friendly, atmosphere amazing!

13/08/2026: I really wanted to love St. Luke’s Wine Tavern as we had heard such good things, but unfortunately our experience didn’t live up to our expectations. We ordered a few picky bits, including the croquettes, which had a strange taste to them. The mozzarella sticks were also disappointing — they were a special, but unfortunately tasted and had the texture of something that had been frozen. The spicy meatballs were okay, but nothing particularly memorable. I also ordered an Aperol Spritz, but the measurements seemed completely off. It was extremely bright orange and didn’t taste right at all. I asked for some extra soda water, but unfortunately it didn’t make much difference and I couldn’t drink it. We didn’t make a complaint on the night as it was busy (ish) and we’re not really the type to make a fuss, but overall we left feeling quite disappointed. It’s a shame as we had such high expectations and were really looking forward to it.

16/08/2026: Wonderful place to visit : not often mentioned in city guide which is a pity because the park and the ancient buildings are very nice : either modern or ancient. Worth the 15 min walk from downtown along the Lee river.

11/08/2026: We took the guided tour of the UCC, and it was beautiful and interesting. We saw places off-limits to the public, the magnificent and astonishing astronomical observatory, and learned various anecdotes and curiosities!

14/08/2026: Best pub in Cork! Great atmosphere and staff. They were super accomodating of our charity event and we can't recommend them highly enough. Thanks to Mike and the team!

13/08/2026: Missing Nicolas Cage in Cork? You will definitely spot him in this pub! The place is very local. Has a story about the style (you can guess how often it was said) but remains exceptionally affordable. Beer of the day was 5,50 in August 2026. Not touristic yet right next to the center 👍

23/08/2026: Excellent restaurant, everything was perfect! We thoroughly enjoyed our meal, the decor was magnificent, and the staff were incredibly attentive. A fantastic experience!

22/08/2026: Great food and service. Perfect steaks. Excellent service.
