The best restaurants in Cork

03/02/2026: Zambrero and boojum have the market, but zambrero edges on top food wise, top tier food.

26/01/2026: Love it, Toasted Burrito is my go to order. I eat here couple three times a week good value tasty and healthy food.

21/12/2025: Got the wrong order, when I called the shop the women was so rude it was a joke, she said she would get the food sent back when I asked how long as the chips are gonna be cold by the time my burger came she replied with “well we have to remake a new one and wait for a driver to get back from his other delivery so I can’t give you a time” the attitude and customer service was so disappointing.

27/11/2025: Staff here are always very hostile and curt in general, they are grand with their buddies and regulars but everyone else is made to feel “what are you doing here vibe” it’s borderline aggressive at times! puts me off ordering, only that I like the quality of the food! Just remember without customers (old and new) you don’t have a job!

10/08/2025: The nicest chips by far I've ever had from a chipper.

15/07/2025: Chicken fillet burger was excellent but chips I found were not great

14/12/2025: Wow, a real french bakery in Cork. So tasty, and various choice of delishes.

27/11/2025: It was just okay for what I ordered, but there were other things that looked good, it was on my way, I might go back tomorrow and improve the review and the experience.

27/02/2026: Not what you'd call FAST food and also missing part of the order very disappointing 😕

26/02/2026: Ordered large meals got served regular. Gravy that is normally amazing tasted watered down. Fries lacked the signature seasoning. Kids were served ice-cream at the same time as their meal so it melted. Had to go back for missing drinks. Coffee tasted purely of chemicals. Couldnt drink it. Not the service I am used to compared to kfc in little island.

01/02/2026: The bistro is casual, and we found a warm welcome and a friendly team on a busy Saturday night. We were a party of 4 and selected a large variety of starters between us. I had the Agedashi tofu and the warm bucketwheat noodle broth with yuzu (almost impossible to get yuzu in Ireland!). I've been to Japan. It will ALWAYS be challenging to get the very same tastes outside of Japan 😃, but I really enjoyed both of these dishes, and they were very much what i would expect of the "classic/simple" Japanese flavours. Of the other dishes we tried, I really liked the starters of: pork, warm oyster special, scallops, and tempura mushroom. I am generally not as much a fan of Don/Donburi, so those will never be as high on my list! We shared the 2 deserts, everyone enjoyed them. I will be back!

25/01/2026: Enjoyable evening relaxed great presentation wonderful flavours.

09/12/2025: Not good, bought a few stuffs there, didn’t check the expiration date, some of the items are much more expensive than the other Asian shops. Kimchi package bloated when I arrived home, then I checked the expiration date, it has expired for two days. Then I checked all the stuff I bought, one of the sauces I bought has been expired for three months.

06/12/2025: The Junction CX Oriental pretty much has everything you could want from an Asian supermarket. They stock all the big names — 辛拉面, 李锦记, 旺旺, Yeo’s, 老干妈, even popular brand of candy Sweetking. There’s also a huge range of dumplings and 包子 in all sorts of flavours, plus loads of fresh fruit, veg, meat and seafood. If you’re after a proper one-stop shop for Asian ingredients, this place is honestly your best bet. I pop in most weeks, and in winter especially — they’ve got everything you need for a super delicious hotpot.

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.

24/02/2026: The staff in here are always so pleasant and friendly. They keep the restaurant very clean. The food is always lovely. Sometimes small things can be forgotten but that’s human error. I much prefer this particular McDonald’s to the other one in the city!

14/02/2026: They took my niece away while we were waiting for our food. "Huh... This Mc Niece burger sure tastes weird ..."

25/10/2025: Really friendly staff, delicious food and reasonable prices!

12/10/2025: Went to the Brasserie Bar, and it was great. The vibe was just okay, initially I felt a bit bored. But the service made me really happy, especially thanks to Aisling and Vitor. They were amazing, so friendly and made me feel comfortable. They truly made the night easy and fun.Definitely a go-back spot for a drink and a good chat!

06/01/2026: I was twice in this place. Like you came into Fellini bad movies. Waiters don't speak English and looked like they forced to be here. Food really felt shrinkflation, salmon bento box is not salmon fillet or darnes - you get 4 pieces of unknown meat, looks like leftovers. Waiters speak bad English and I felt I'm bothering them every time I asked something. Much better places around

26/09/2025: We've gone to Soba in Blackpool regularly since we moved to the area four years ago, and we've never once had a bad experience. The food is top value for money and always consistent, which makes all the difference in the world to my partner, who is on the spectrum. The atmosphere is relaxed yet elegant and professional. And the staff are just wonderful. Sincere, mindful, on the ball. Our four year old insists on coming with me when we pick up food - or sit in - to say hi to Andy and his fellow staff, to pet the wobbling cat ornament on the counter, and no doubt, because I can't remember the last time he didn't walk out of there with a complimentary lollipop or hand full of candy. Fabulous restaurant in every way.

31/07/2025: Always great Entertainment. Very Friendly Staff. Spacious and Clean.

01/12/2025: I have been a regular Donatellos customer for the past 17 years but I've been getting a weekly pizza from the mayfield store the past 4 years. This is the most reliable, consistent and quality fast food place in Cork by far. The staff are fantastic, the drivers are quick and sound. I have NEVER had a bad pizza from this place. Perfect cheese, perfect sauce and perfect crust. 10 stars out of 5!! And great buffalo wings also :)

13/09/2025: As an italian person this isn't a real pizza. We bought 3 medium pizza and some ingredients were missing. We paid too much.

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.
