The best restaurants in Cork

07/04/2026: A nice starbucks. Lovely old building, great area for people watching. Usually everything in stock and fresh.

20/03/2026: building about to fall over. hate to see the big bad wolf coming.

15/03/2026: Food court area has 20 teenagers hanging around on Sunday evening. Place is noisy. Why are they here? It's unsuitable for indoor dining.

15/02/2026: 15mins waiting for food nothing said to us, taco chips left sitting there while waiting for burger which were cold by then not sure what took so long!

12/05/2026: Good food, love mozzarella sticks

07/05/2026: Atmosphere is very good but service is too slow and they dont even look at you, you wait 15 min to have a tale and order food if ypu guys hungry i dont go

27/07/2025: Excellent. One of the hotel mistakes of the trip.

24/07/2025: I recently stayed at this hotel, and I have to say, the staff was a major letdown. From the moment I walked in, I felt like I was bothering them. The front desk staff (Martha) seemed uninterested and gave off the vibe that they'd rather be anywhere else. Throughout my stay, I encountered similar attitudes from other staff members. Requests were met with delays, and it felt like pulling teeth to get any kind of assistance. It's a shame because the hotel itself had potential, but the poor service really dragged down the whole experience. I won't be returning, and I'd advise others to consider other options where the staff actually cares about their guests. We had tried to complain to the manager Joe about the attitude of his staff, he told us “customers like you are not worth being customers”.

04/04/2026: I come here all the time and the food has always been amazing, which is why I keep coming back. Recently, though, I’ve noticed some changes, especially with the burgers and the pizza. The pizza base, in particular, seems soggier than before and has a slightly unusual texture. That being said, the staff are absolutely fantastic. They’re always so welcoming and make you feel genuinely valued, which really adds to the experience. I’m hoping the food quality returns to what it used to be, because this place has always been a favourite of mine.

09/01/2026: Flavourless, greasy and expensive! Give it a chance, Never again!!

12/12/2025: Disappointing experience! I found a hair in my burger, the carbonara pasta was extremely oily, and I waited 30 minutes for a dessert - a simple ice cream with some fruit and whipped cream on top. The waitresses didn't feel like working...

07/12/2025: 20 min for a late and double espresso with no one on the cue for take away

24/12/2025: Came in just for two potato pies- lovely and moist.

23/09/2025: Dinos douglas has gone to the bin! Ever since the Irish girl Sarah left the chipper, the food quality has been horrendous. The asian lady working at the store makes the worst food, it’s definitely not fresh and you could just tell that the fish, chicken and dips are stale. The quality that dinos has in other stores like Grange and Turners cross is nowhere near compared to the likes of the Douglas store. The food used to be nice but ever since the asian lady has been making the food, it has been unhygienic, dirty and will definitely give someone food poisoning. Douglas dinos is really really awful now and should be avoided at all costs.

03/03/2026: My partner and I have been coming here regularly and it never disappoints. The food is very reasonably priced and always super tasty. The staff are attentive, friendly, and create a welcoming atmosphere every time even if super busy. Our special compliments go to the store manager, Jay. He consistently notices the small details that others might overlook and ensures that everything runs smoothly while maintaining a warm and organized environment. His attentiveness and natural leadership are clearly reflected in the team’s attitude. What stands out most is his thoughtful and composed approach. He leads with confidence, fairness, and genuine care — qualities that are valuable. One can see that he takes pride in his work and sets high standards, not through pressure, but through example. It’s truly refreshing to see such professionalism combined with authenticity. Jay is a real asset, and his dedication does not go unnoticed. Thanks again Ramen.

18/02/2026: They gave me Ed Sheeran’s ball sack hair

28/03/2026: After a slight issue with the pizza we ordered, we received stellar customer service to remedy the issue and were delighted with the support we received from the staff today. The food itself was exactly what we would expect from Four Star but tasted all the better because of the brilliant experience. Will be returning!

21/01/2026: i’ve order pizza from here many times and usually it’s pretty good, tonight my pizza was undercooked, the pepperoni looked raw and the red onions were soggy and slimy. i couldn’t even finish the pizza it was disgusting.

18/05/2026: Got 3 burrito last Friday night and omg totally disgusting. How can pulled beef smell like tuna. Absolutely poison. Avoid at all costs

07/05/2026: I went to eat something at night; it's practically the only place open in the area. There was a line of about 6-7 people, and it took them 30 minutes to serve me. They're very disorganized in the kitchen; there were 5 people working, and the line wasn't moving. I had a burrito; they're big. It was okay, nothing special. They just scraped up the leftover salsa on it.

25/04/2026: The pizza at Luciano's hasn't changed in 30 years, that is some achievement!. The prosciutto is by far my favorite and each bite is a little bit of heaven. Now keep in mind your cholesterol is not going to be the better of it but hell, it'll be worth the heart attack!

28/01/2026: Staff are so nice and friendly, always will to have a chat even when the place is busy, recently revamped looks fantastic love the new look, food is great

24/12/2025: The atmosphere is comfortable and welcoming, perfect for chilling with a friend or getting a bit of work done. Staff are friendly and efficient too. Definitely a solid choice for coffee in Cork! ☕😊

24/11/2025: Staff were very friendly but €4.95 for a flat white is INSANE. Although the barista did their job perfectly, the coffee itself was no better than something out of one of centra’s machines. How does one justify charging €4.95 for THAT is absolutely absurd. Will never be returning and would definitely not recommend

28/06/2025: really weird vibe in there, felt unsafe. everything was overpriced, too and the sound quality was bad.

07/04/2026: Terrible experience. Dirty. Lots of teenagers sitting on tables with their shoes on the table tops. Food was tepid at best with lukewarm tea. Never again

05/04/2026: I ordered delivery and out of two burger meals and nuggets and cheese dippers only nuggets and dipperers came an absolute disaster of a company
