The best restaurants in Cork

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.

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.

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

07/02/2026: I came today for my birthday. I've had a really tough year, especially the days leading up to today, and the manager refused to give me the discount because it wasn't showing up on their computer. She told me to email Starbucks. I left crying. I used to go to that location regularly, and just because of this bad experience, I won't be going back.

04/01/2026: I visited this Starbucks on Opera Lane today hoping to order a Toffee Nut Latte, but it wasn’t available and the alternative options I asked for were also unavailable. I eventually ordered a regular latte. While waiting, I overheard some of the staff talking loudly about customers just ordering lattes now that other drinks weren’t available, which felt uncomfortable and a bit unprofessional. Unfortunately, the latte itself was extremely bitter and unpleasant — it was basically impossible to drink. It tasted as if the filter or machine hadn’t been properly changed or cleaned, which was very disappointing considering I paid €5 for it.

15/03/2026: On maps said it is open. However it was closed. Sunday 14:00

27/12/2025: My daughter & I visited the Quays bar today & had food that was reasonably good. Unfortunately the place was absolutely filthy, our shoes were sticking to the floor. Toilets were disgusting & absolutely filthy with no toilet roll & when we asked we were told there was none. I dread to think what the kitchen was like.

09/01/2026: Really? Is, 21st century and is 2020s and those obselete services like Internet coffees in Cork still exist? Is embarrassment of country those seetvices when in the world kids don't even know what is Internet services that most gone in 2000s did I just time travel? Common nobody needs if anyone doesn't have in 2026 Internet access are libraries cheaper services for but keep an outdated infrastructure is no longer making sense

25/12/2025: My experience is based on using computer for printing and Ive waited some time to be attended by a staff which does not say any kind word, a "good morning" or even a smile which is a minimum request to get a job when dealing with customers. Besides some customers who arriver after me were helped first. Anyway who cares about company reputation at all...

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

10/02/2026: Food is tops and the quality is very good and tasty.

30/09/2025: Nice very clean chip shop in Cork. Staff here were friendly. These were probably the best chips I've had in a few years. The chicken fillet burger was good too, nice and crispy. The only thing that wasn't that good were the mushy peas. They were a bit watery and didn't taste of much, so I probably wouldn't have those again. I definitely recommend this place for a good feed if you're in the northside of the city.

14/04/2026: Appallingly sloppy. Ordered Dos Capos (tacos) and a burrito to collect. The tacos salad must have been flung into the bottom of the bag as an afterthought by a member of staff (see photo). Beggars belief as to why anyone would do such a thing. I can’t imagine that this is what this outlets management deem to be acceptable customer service. And yet, after leaving a voicemail message on the night to the store, and an email to the store manager, they’ve still not responded to insist otherwise (correction - the manager has responded finally, see PS below). PS (14/04/26) The stores manager Liz, today emailed to convey her apologies for the poor service that I received. I am hopeful that this unfortunate occurrence was an isolated incident.

27/03/2026: Fella with the beard took 35 minutes to make 1 breakfast burrito said sorry were busy but when I entered I was one of two in the place

23/12/2025: A little haven in the heart of the city

21/12/2025: Extremely overpriced...5 euro for a regular oat milk latte. The coffee id fine if generic.....I've had stronger instant coffee. I also got a muffin and ig must have been a few days ikdbas it was a little stale.

24/02/2026: Love Haveli for take away.. Great food

24/01/2026: We get this quite regularly and it never disappoints. We got murgh makhani, chilli massala, jalfrezi and a byriani and each one was as nice as the other. The barn rice and poppadoms were lovely too. And the service at the counter was very friendly. HIGHLY recommend

25/10/2025: Coffee was nice to be fair ,but the staff are horrid ! I bought 2 capuchinos and one latte from the cafe Marius .As I was drinking my coffee me and my mother pulled out a muffin we had from earlier (to match to me coffee I just bought ) I got screamed at by the staff that it’s not allowed to bring personal food even tho I bought 3 coffees from them just 2 mins earlier.Disgusting attitude

05/06/2025: Had the beef stew cooked to perfection reasonably priced will be back

03/01/2026: It's OK it's very spicy and spice bag was very dry and it's a rip off not worth the money but good people spice bag is sometimes nice🥰

19/10/2025: Dry food Guinness with no head not worth it here rip off

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”.

07/09/2025: Really really disappointing place in general. The interior was quite dingy and stuffy. The place looks quite careless thrown together with random stuff on the walls and a pool table that it is not in use. A group and I tried to watch an Irish soccer game there one night. The commentary was 5 seconds behind the visuals and one of the screens was glitching. The women insisted everyone at our table bought something when actually 4 out of 5 of us bought something. She was quite rude, blunt and ill mannered. It really made us feel uncomfortable, unwanted and unappreciated. Out of the 100s of great pubs in Cork, this is definitely one of the to avoid.

18/07/2025: Though I've never been a customer of this bar. The auld one who runs the bar needs to realise that the bar does not own the parking space outside the bar and by placing kegs outside the premises, does not mean that the general public cannot park there. The woman who works there shouting abuse at me last week which was totally uncalled for.
