The best restaurants in Cork

19/09/2025: Clean, prompt, good vibe, easy interaction. I'm a fusspot who always makes my own breakfast, and the lady was 100% there for that and everything came out perfectly. Great place for a nice traditional breakfast, 100% happy with the experience.

05/09/2025: A true Irish pub, this one can say is 100% Irish. Irish food is served here, and of course, a full Irish breakfast. I can tell you, after a full Irish breakfast, you don't need food for the rest of the day, but it all depends on how much money you intend to spend. Birthday parties are held here; the pub is huge, so you can do whatever you want.

21/08/2025: I ordered the salmon eggs Benedict with a glass of orange juice on my first visit to this restaurant. Walking in, I was impressed with how lovely the place looked. The décor is modern and stylish, giving it a welcoming atmosphere that makes you want to sit and enjoy your meal. The staff were pleasant and polite throughout my visit, though I did feel they could have been a little more attentive at times. Nothing major, but small details, like checking in more often or being quicker with service would have made the experience feel that bit smoother. As for the food, the eggs Benedict was nicely presented and the portion size was just right for a brunch dish. The salmon was fresh, and the eggs were cooked well, though personally I found the overall flavour quite salty, which took away slightly from the enjoyment. The orange juice was delicious and tasted freshly squeezed, but at €4.50 for a small glass, it did feel overpriced compared to the rest of the meal. Overall, it was a pleasant first experience. I’d recommend.

17/05/2025: Lovely menu here always enjoyable, however can’t say the same about the staff. Last three visits they have been strangely rude, so much so that I don’t think I will be returning.

24/05/2025: Surprisingly big bar. Very pleasant staff. Went for a staff night out and had a great time. Great party venue

28/01/2025: Highly professional set up from the moment you enter the door. Fabulous people to deal with. Five star all the way. Paul Ryan.

21/11/2025: One of the top Chinese in Cork City, great food great staff and reliable prices

25/10/2025: Spice bag with 5 bits of batter. Could not call it chicken. 11.50 for basically a bag of chips. RIP OFF

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.

20/07/2025: LO MEJOR. La pizza era increíble y el personal era tan agradable. Entramos para un pedido en persona y de alguna manera me las arreglé para perder un piercing mío. El personal lo encontró para mí y fue tan amable la noche. No podíamos habernos sentido más cómodos y la piazza estaba deliciosa. Lo revisaremos.

20/06/2025: the worst pizza I've ever eaten 😖

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

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.

25/08/2025: Terrible experience. This was my fourth visit to the place and I have to say today was the last one.We went for lunch today and we found the entire staff sitting and eating.The man who took our order was constantly getting up to bring drinks and food and then sitting down to eat again.While he was takin our order he was very impatient. This is very unprofessional.We got the wrong drinks order. Looking at him eating we didn't even bother complaining. I work in the restaurant for more than 20 years and I really understand the restaurant dynamic and that the staff needs to eat but paying customer shouldn't be involved in the process.

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.

28/08/2025: Great food ! Very friendly and helpful staff!

10/08/2025: Very disappointed non delivery of food ordered spent €50 euros and no satisfaction no refund would not recommend

08/11/2025: Very nice food, Trisha is always welcoming and polite 🤗 I love to eat here.

06/11/2025: Good food and good portion sizes - vegan and vegetarian options are good

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.

08/07/2025: Over for the Celtic/Cork City bar and it's way too far out making a bit of a trek. Ok.

08/07/2025: Great place to go for a drink friendly owners and staff plenty of space there

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
