The best restaurants in Cork

11/09/2025: The room was large, the beds comfortable, but the ceiling is peeling, there is mold above the shower and several areas of the floor where we felt like we were going to fall through. The staff were very welcoming, they stored our luggage for the day. There is a bar on the ground floor but we were not bothered by the noise at all. The hotel is located directly opposite the train station, with the city bus and city tour bus stop right outside the door.

22/05/2026: Really delicious food! The two employees that helped us were really lovely, giving useful local recommendations and tips about what to order

17/05/2026: Dear Melita Toniolo, your program on RSD Good Times, hosted every day at 2:00 pm by Melita Toniolo and Marco Santini, is very nice because it is full of surprises and very polite and nice.

13/05/2026: Chicken frie rice was very poor, it was boiled rice, a lot of peas and carrots and a few little bits of chicken. Didn't touch a wok in my opinion. 3 in 1 was ok. The ribs were a good portion and the sauce was nice.

04/05/2026: Got the Spicy Salt and Chilli Chips today and they had sugar on them, which I wasn’t expecting. When I called, I was told that’s just how they make them. I said it wasn’t for me and I wouldn't order that again, but got told, 'I could find them somewhere else, thanks' and she hung up the phone. Rang back and spoke with who I believe may have been the owner/manager and was told I basically shouldn’t be calling to complain, thats how they make them for the last 25 years . He felt she wasn't rude in how she handled the call as he was next to her. Fair enough if that’s their recipe, but the way it was handled wasn’t great.

29/04/2026: The sausgues were brunt but I didn't mind, when me and my mam got to our seats (the high up ones) there was crumbs and food left on the ground. The staff were very kind and nice though. But I do prefer the old Wilton restaurant.

22/04/2026: Visited "new" wilton bar. One word..disgusting. The food was reheated, dry, tasteless. I got vegetable soup that had a thick layer on top. Service was very abrupt. Could tell has not had hospitality training. New refurbishments have takes away from the charm of the wilton bar. No atmosphere. Pity

07/03/2026: (Traducido por Google) La comida es muy agradable (Original) Food is all ways so nice

07/03/2026: There isn't many traditional chip shops left in Cork but barties ,is one of the very few left around, for both local and visitors alike is well worth a visit, I highly recommend the quarter burger, one of the best you ever eat, and really friendly staff

21/12/2025: Used to be unreal but has fallen off the last few times I've had it.

25/11/2025: Seems expensive for loaded fries but personally I think it’s great value considering it’s all fresh and keeps you so full and very generous with the meat portion also something different to your average chips place with its funky flavours highly recommend

24/04/2026: I am a regular customer of Roosters Piri Piri and am always happy with the service and food. I’m not a fast food fan but this place excels with good food fast! From their salads to their pittas, everything is tasty and fresh. Highly recommend their Rice Bowl and their half chicken (if you’re hungry). Top tip: if you’re getting the fries for takeaway - open the box they come in immediately to let out the steam and preserve the crispiness! Otherwise they go slightly soggy. The staff are efficient, helpful and professional. The atmosphere is a step up from your typical fast food joint but far more relaxed than a dining restaurant level. I have eaten here solo and with groups of friends and it’s always pleasant.

24/04/2026: Visited the Douglas branch with a group of friends on the way back from a hike. We frequent the Blackpool branch, but thought we'd give the Douglas one a go this time. The service was extremely slow from start to finish. We initially ordered bone-in chicken but were told it would take 45 minutes, then switched to boneless breasts, which still took over 30 minutes. The chicken itself was well seasoned, but incredibly dry and overcooked. We also paid for extra dips which were forgotten, despite reminding the staff twice about the missing order item. All the self-service sauce bottles (around 20 of them) were empty and we were told that they won't able to refill them. The staff was inexperienced and inattentive, chatting amongst themselves most of the time. To make matters even worse, we were visiting the restaurant at 5pm (nowhere near peak-time) and there were just 2 other tables occupied. The staff even lacked basic courtesies like a thank you, or a goodbye, when we were leaving. The food itself was acceptable/mediocre, but the poor service overshadowed the experience.

24/10/2025: Me and my partner had dinner here on the first night of our stay at the hotel and we were very impressed with the quality of food and the impeccable service from our waiter Jiyan. Will definitely be dining here again. The only thing I would criticise would be that it was a little cold so I had to grab a jumper from the hotel room and I even spotted a women on the table next to us wearing a coat!

17/10/2025: One of our favorite breakfast is at the four hotels we were at. Especially for a vegan which can be limited in the free breakfast in hotels around town, but they had a really good tofu scramble on toast.

23/05/2026: I have ordered often but never again. Pizza burnt and chicken wings raw. I do not recommend!!!

01/05/2026: Ordered a large pizza, got toppings only in the inner pizza the outer pizza is was mostly empty with just cheese. Asked dominos spices but it was full of salt? I don't know how they managed to make pizza this bad. Made me appreciate the dominos in my small town so much more.

17/02/2026: Small portions ,they charge you more money than they show in the Menu ,you tell them and they only apologize. Quality /price is expensive

21/09/2025: Very unwelcoming staff. Food was sad and miserable. My pork roast was completely dried out, the rest of the food wasn't much better.

27/08/2025: Ate lunch here before flying out of Cork airport. We both ordered burgers. I noticed how quickly they came out and how fast other tables got their food too. I worked in hotels myself for years and that is not necessarily a good sign. The burgers themselves were ok but they seemed somewhat ready made. We both had upset stomachs by the evening time. I do not recommend. The staff and service were excellent. I can’t give more than 1 star because of the food issue.

23/04/2026: It's part of the city and always a great place to catch up with friends.

12/04/2026: Place was dead last night went in to watch the masters. Got told to get out after showing valid id. Bouncer is an absolute gomey and not my first time having a problem with him.

09/11/2025: Really expensive and loads of annoying teenagers inside.

17/09/2025: The girl serving behind the counter was unfriendly, as if she didn’t want to be there and didn’t want to serve us. The milk was served in it’s original 2L jug and again just thrown there almost with words to the effect, if you want some milk here you go. The toilets had just been cleaned but they never replaced the soap and the soap dispenser was completely empty. All of this when the café was practically empty and the staff had not much to do. Never going back there again.

29/10/2025: Would recommend for late night boogies. See photo of my friends and I having fun @ An Bróg :)

28/10/2025: Great lively place with lovely food.

20/04/2026: Got a spice bag and it was dry, no veg, salty and stringy chicken

08/02/2026: Malaysian curry with egg fried rice was delicious! Honestly one of the top five curries I've had in my lifetime. So flavourful. Staff were super friendly
