The best restaurants in Cork

14/01/2026: Just got Apache there usually usually get it most weeks absolute disgrace Pakistanis working in there called Food the kebab was absolutely disgusting. It was cold and Meet would remind her out of it. Something out of the freezer. It was disgusting but one order from them ever again and I was a good customer Get rid of the Pakistanis and put in the proper Irish staff. They can understand you as well on the phone.

03/01/2026: We ordered food at 9.35 and did not arrive until 11.15 an hour and 45 minutes later. We understand it was new years but there was no level of communication from the store and I am guessing the phone was taken off the hook because it would not ring for over 45 minutes as we wanted to cancel our order. When the food arrived the pizza was hot but could have been cooked a lot more as it was wet on top, the taco fries were honestly stone cold, they must have been sitting there a long time and the camberet bites were fine. If the order wasn’t leaving the store when I rang I would have cancelled and asked to be refunded. I am so disappointed with the food quality and the amount of time it took as we have used apache a lot over the past year especially for events such as my daughters christening and my sisters day 2 of her wedding. The only positive about the whole experience was the delivery driver, he was so apologetic and friendly. I submitted feedback online but still have not received any contact. Such a pity as it used to be a great takeaway and there are some lovely people working there.

04/05/2026: I don't know why you're running such aggressive ads about not tolerating bad customer behavior. I come here to eat, not to be yelled at by someone on the radio.

27/04/2026: This is probably the worst McDonald's. It's better to close 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.

30/08/2025: Very good coffee shop and very good for a morning stop for breakfast and to drink a quality coffee. I really liked the coffee. I'm a fan of good coffee and I know what good coffee and bad coffee are, and here you have quality. Congratulations on transforming this place into a very high-quality coffee shop, above average, despite the competition not liking it and trying to say otherwise, but time is the best thing to put to the test. I highly recommend it; you won't leave here unsatisfied.

06/06/2025: Cafe is small and seating cramped, decor a bit depressing. Coffee was OK though the cappuccino was very milky . There are better coffee shops around for the same price.

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

19/05/2026: Very rude stuff Unfortunately, I had a negative experience. I tried to place an order 15 minutes before 9 but they refused in a way that felt rude. I hope their customer service improves in the future.

18/04/2026: My wife favorite takeout after kcs

15/11/2025: We will definitely eat here again to try more of their dishes. Really tasty & reasonably priced. Portions are pretty spot on too. Server was lovely and helpful as we’d not been there before.

10/11/2025: Delicious food, good price, friendly stuff😊

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

03/05/2026: Ethereal is not a word I ever expected to use for a kebab shop, yet it’s the only one that fits. From the moment you walk in, the aroma of slow-roasted meat and warm spices feels almost otherworldly, like it’s pulling you out of the everyday and into something far more comforting. The kebabs themselves are tender, flavorful, and perfectly balanced—juicy without being greasy, seasoned without being overpowering. Even the sides feel thoughtfully crafted, from the crisp, fresh salad to the pillowy warm naan that tastes like it came straight from a traditional tandoor. The staff are genuinely friendly, the portions generous, and the whole experience leaves you feeling both satisfied and strangely uplifted, as if great food really can be a little bit magical. 5 months from original review: Stunning, better than the first time. 🤤

03/05/2026: finger lickin good, toilet facility’s are adequately set up to cope with the aftermath of the banquet of kings. Arguably the finest culinary establishment In ireland.

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...

01/10/2025: All the staff were very friendly except for the manager, who was bland and rude. I went to ask her a question, and she treated me in the worst possible way. She wouldn't let me speak, and when she got tired, she passed the problem to one of her employees and left in the middle of the conversation. The music from the bar can be heard in the rooms at night, even making the floor rumble.

19/09/2025: Great pint at €5.50 on one of the most expensive streets in Cork City Center. With prices in the City reaching €6.50+ There is also happy hour and menu deals. It also has a hostel and bar with screens, also outdoor seating. In a great location for transport. If a visitor or a local a great place to check and enjoy.

07/04/2026: I went in this afternoon and the girls working behind the counter were absolutely amazing. The manager appeared to be training a staff member and came across as very friendly, couldn’t fault the services and my BMT was unreal, would recommend.

20/02/2026: Id wanted a footlong half chicken half ham plain with absolutely nothing else done, the man who did part one was friendly and nice understanding its for a child. The lady who did part 2 was not nice, was unfriendly was waving her hand shaking her head at what was apparent she thought riduculous request. Tells me i will be paying for 2 seperate 6inches. She proceeds to toast it, after id specified it was meant to be cold. Sold me orange juice and gave me sugar free oasis. A complete waste of time and money!

05/12/2025: Burnt fried egg . And dirty cutlery. FFS it cost enough too

21/11/2025: This food is gorgeous and the staff and the owner are really nice really nice place to get food, will be going back again next time we are in Cork, thanks for making us so welcome, and for looking after my sister who just came out of hospital! Thank you.

12/04/2026: Fast service but cleanliness of the restaurant left a lot to be desired. Crew member just wiped table dirt onto the floor and walked away leaving it there. It was still there when we left 20 min later.

18/03/2026: Always good to fall back on when I'm ever in a pinch for something to eat

04/01/2026: Very good quality. Order and collection is on time. But, being a takeaway, there is no soace to sit inside.

21/11/2025: Waited 1 and a half hours for a pizza. When I came they said they hadn't received the order, I ordered again and waited an hour they wouldn't even look in my direction and other customers were the same there was 4 people left while I was waiting because they hadn't even been asked what they wanted for 30 min. They told me it was coming out of the oven a few times the last time I got ones attention guess what he said? "1 min sir it's just coming out of the oven" I said that's what you told me 30 min ago and left. 20 min after they ring to say sorry about the delay can you come get your food? 2 hours later my 1 pizza is ready. Disgraceful manor of there staff and cannot register a complaint with four star it's a joke of a company. 0 stars
