The best restaurants in Cork

19/05/2026: Try the mi daza if you love stout. It's creamy goodness and the handsome IPA is so good too

17/05/2026: Great atmosphere and great staff. Selection of drinks and food 5 star's Nothing more to say.

01/01/2026: It’s great food here, there chicken balls are the best in cork hands down

26/12/2025: I placed an order on Deliveroo and they left me waiting for over two hours without delivering, without giving any explanation.

01/07/2026: For the quality and freshness of the wholesome food being served, this is the best eaterie I've found in Cork so far. Prices are cheap to mid-budget, with a 'takeaway' feel to the place (so don't expect cosy restaurant-style ambience), but don't let that put you off. The servings are very generous and everything tastes like it's been freshly prepared using the finest available ingredients. The fried cauliflower is some of the best I've tasted, the baba ganoush IS the best I've ever tasted, and everything just screams flavour, good health and nutrition. There are also some healthy drink options, including kombucha and fresh fruit juice. If you crave an alternative to the ubiquitous burger/chicken, fries and coke, Umi Falafel perfectly fits the bill. Well worth tracking down, and I shall definitely be returning to try more from the menu.

27/06/2026: Excellent find! A vegetarian restaurant, so accessible for Muslims. The food was delicious and the staff lovely. You can go there without hesitation.

06/07/2026: Extremly dissapointed with food. How can you adverise real belgian waffles and serve frozen ones that weren't even properly reheated prior serving. Very sweet, only warm with nothing special. These frozen waffles are in every irish canteen served so how can this be their special morning treat. Dissapointed. Service was very good but they behavied like they were afraid of everything in there. Looked so streeesed even it was very quiet morning.

06/07/2026: Well done 👏 Well worth a visit 👏

23/04/2026: Amazing food and amazing service. Lovely vibe and the waitress girl has a beautiful voice 🥰🥰

14/03/2026: Excellent take away - some reviewers seem to think this is supposed to be a restaurant and are giving it negative reviews. Ignore those dopes, it’s a take away and an amazing one at that !

15/06/2026: The atmosphere is great and the food is delicious, but... the portions are way too big. It's a shame I couldn't finish everything.

10/06/2026: Great menu and authentic tastes. I've eaten here often and tried many things on the menu - all great.

01/06/2026: Think closer to a 4 star than a 5 star. Breakfast on the first morning was only ok. Full irish was over cooked and bacon was not good. Service very slow. Reception woke us up at 10.40 looking for a credit card number. It could have waited till morning as we were staying 2 nights but when I suggested this they didn't see to agree. Being honest tho the foor in Amber bar was very good and staff were lovely.

26/05/2026: Brilliant worth every Euro spent there

06/06/2026: Great atmosphere, the outdoor area is very friendly. The musician was fantastic. Around €7 a pint.

03/06/2026: Dominque was an amazing bartender. Really enjoyed talking to her and trying out some amazing drinks! Irish stew was very good and filling. Had some saved even for breakfast the next day. Can’t wait to go back!

09/06/2026: Very mixed review. Food was very good. Service was odd 😐 arrived in the door and one of the waiters was clearly very disgruntled. He was slamming plates, swearing, kicking doors. Wasn't exactly rude to customers from what I saw, but did make the experience very uncomfortable. The other staff were very apologetic and polite. We considered leaving but decided to give the benefit of the doubt. And as said food was really good.

09/06/2026: Lovely food, service and atmosphere. Very well priced

28/09/2025: Everything perfect, good foods, good service and good ambient

28/09/2025: Everything was fine. Unfortunately, the food was a complete disaster. I even got a stomach ache. What a pity.

03/04/2026: Idk y’all… food was quite mid esp considering the price. My veggie dish felt like it was heated up in the microwave sadly. My partner’s beef he said was fine. We didn’t bother with dessert. Would skip esp if only doing one meal in Cork as portions are literally tiny for 27€.

27/03/2026: Soo good - everything was delicious and service impeccable

13/05/2026: My favourite South-side pub! Pint of Beamish is still less than a fiver and I love how I can eat my Miyazaki takeaway food with a pint. Pub also has Iyer cafe food and loads of events, like analogue night, game night, and crafting night. Servers are friendly and sound! Always good music and vibes. Hope they bring the gelato back this summer!

13/05/2026: Best Margaritas in Cork !! Or rather Europe no word of a lie, ask for Pat

29/06/2026: Excellent pub, service and pints.

15/06/2026: Nice pub with very good Irish coffee.

26/02/2026: Absolutely brilliant place, food is some of the best I’ve ever had. If I’m ever in Cork again, I will be back. Thank you so much for making this work trip a little easier.

21/02/2026: Nice place, very friendly staff.

19/05/2026: Stopped by for drinks and Rory came by and recommended a whiskey flight. For someone who enjoys whiskey we had two whiskey flights (6) total whiskeys and we did not like any of them and specifically told Rory what we liked and were disappointed. If you like a specific whiskey don’t waste your time or money on a whiskey flight.

17/05/2026: Drank too much, felt terrible the next day 😆
