The best restaurants in Cork

23/08/2025: I have just left the internet cafe and am absolutely disgusted in what they are charging. I was on an old computer for a few minutes only to fill out an online form and they charged me six euros. I got no printing or no paperwork whatsoever, am outraged at the new ownership there. Daylight robbery, no thanks shame on ye.

22/08/2025: The place has changed alot sense it changed owners. Knowledge of pc workings needs to be updated. Cafe on site with food and coffee.

12/08/2025: I visited Milano on Oliver Plunkett and had an extremely poor experience. I understand that guests should wait to be shown to a table, which I did without any problem. The restaurant was not busy at all — in fact, it was quite the opposite. After being seated and given the menu, I timed exactly 15 minutes waiting for a server to take my order. I even called out to them. The staff were not busy attending to other customers; they were standing a bit further ahead, talking in the back section of the restaurant. I was seated near the entrance. I raised my hand to call a waiter, and one person said they would come back — but never did. In the end, I simply stood up and left. While I have eaten there before and the food was fine, on this occasion I left without ordering. When I’m paying for a meal, the minimum I expect is polite and attentive service. I understand if a place is packed and the staff are overwhelmed — that’s perfectly fine. But this was mid-afternoon, around 2 p.m., and the restaurant was empty. To me, the lack of service was unacceptable, and I would not return.

11/08/2025: Love returning here. It's a great menu, new choices regularly. Staff are lovely and welcoming.

17/01/2025: Had a Irish ham, salad sandwich , which was fine and tasty. Also choose a spiced apple slice, equally as fine and tasty!

14/01/2025: We mentioned this bakery, in the ratings for the park. Really nice food and drink, it's just a shame we don't live closer, so we can go every weekend.

29/06/2025: We just called in for a quick drink. It is quite large and spacious, no problem getting a seat. We didn't have food so I can't comment on that. Really nice place.

08/06/2025: Disappointing customer service.. We attended a charity event at the Castle tonight and had a fantastic time overall—the band and food truck were excellent. Unfortunately, our experience was soured by poor service at the cocktail bar. I had to call the owner, Ronan, to get a bartender to attend to us. We ordered six Pornstar Martinis (€78 total), but when they arrived, they were undrinkable. When we raised this with the bartender, she simply said, “That’s how we serve them.” I spent 30 minutes trying to find Ronan again and was eventually told he was likely in his office. When I finally spoke with him and showed him the untouched drinks, he asked, “What do you want?” I asked for a refund since we couldn’t drink them. His response? “Get your refund and get out.” After such a lovely evening, I left feeling shocked and disappointed by Ronan’s rude and dismissive attitude. When my partner confronted him about his behaviour toward me, Ronan didnt speak to him like he did with me .It’s hard not to feel that he reacted this way simply because I’m a woman challenging him on poor service. Ronan, your response was unprofessional and unacceptable. I expected better.

03/08/2025: Very nice fast food im Little Island

21/03/2025: Where have Sicilian Delights been all my life! Went to the Marina Market yesterday and asked for a Takeaway Lasagna. The lovely lady behind the counter packaged it all up for me. Gave me extra sauce in a cup and cheese with the reheating instructions on top - it was beyond divine and I'm a lasagna woman anywhere I see it (I'm on par with Garfield). It was so beyond my expectations - I'll be back for more every time when I'm in Cork every few weeks. The chef needs a pay rise for that quality of food!

01/02/2025: The pasta was great here before they changed the menu. They have now upped the prices from €9 to €13 & reduced the portions. It is no longer fresh and now they serve a reheated pasta bake. Very disappointed 😞😞😞

18/07/2025: Popped in because we heard live music. Had a quick pint of Storehouse lager, not our favorite but needed to try it. Open space bar, more modern with the TV and projector so i guess it depends what you are looking for

05/07/2025: Personal grosero. Sin precio, sin por favor, sin gracias durante el servicio. 7€. 30 por una pinta de cerveza. Estafa. . Sucio y deteriorado. Solía ser genial hace una década. Qué vergüenza.

18/06/2025: Says open till 3am , closed at 2am

24/05/2025: Delicious food, good prices, Karim is an excellent staff member

26/07/2025: Had a gorgeous takeaway from there. Loads of good quality food & lots of prawns

25/06/2025: Excellent for a healthy dinners.

21/06/2025: Came in for a drink tonight and was met with arrogance from barmaid she was not polite to us but was very friendly to her regulars

04/06/2025: Cosy pub with friendly service, good beer selection. I only had a drink here.

04/08/2025: My favorite cafe in the UK and Ireland!!!

28/06/2025: Extremely fresh, staff very friendly, delicious coffee. Thanks a lot!

29/04/2025: Just had a delivery from Pizza Daddy. We had the fried chicken kebab, chicken tikka kebab, taco fries and a burger. Extremely happy with the food and quality. Fast delivery through Just Eat, and a loyalty card system with Pizza Daddy through just eat! Love loyalty systems! We will definitely buy again, not just because of the loyalty program, but the brilliant food. Thanks Pizza Daddy.

16/02/2025: The place looks dirty, of course, but they make good pizza and there was no problem with baking it the way I wanted. Nice service

20/06/2025: Wonderful ambience, good Chinese food in a very accessible location. Try something from their Chef's Specials!!

31/05/2025: Worst Chinese food I’ve had in years, shredded chilli chicken is see through/grey and hardly none of it - chips felt like they were hours old and hollow

09/07/2025: The food was really good and good portion sizes too.

03/07/2025: Excellent food, generous portions, really enjoyed it. And good value. Will be back.

10/06/2025: Me and two of my friends went out for something quick to eat and drink. The food was fabulous and the service was quick and very pleasant. The atmosphere was lovely. Couldn't be happier. We've had the charcuterie board, smashed potatoes and spicy king prawns. All were top-notch 👌

26/05/2025: Please never go to bottomless brunch in this establishment. They must have locked all seasonings in a cupboard and replaced the chicken with cardboard. It was culinary terrorism. Staff were rude but the DJ played good tunes.
