The best restaurants in Cork

30/01/2025: The barista chatted to the customer in front of me about her nails for a good 10 minutes rather than serving the other waiting customers. I won't be coming back.

25/01/2025: Lovely staff best Starbucks around

02/04/2025: Amazing pizzeria with fine dine experience.

01/04/2025: Great food, great service great value.

16/01/2025: Ordered a chicken supper which says it comes with a breast of chicken for 11 euro instead it arrived with a tiny wing with very little meat on it. The chips were just cheap frozen chips. Wouldn’t recommend

28/03/2025: Extremely unpleasant treatment from the manager.It's not the first time, but this is the last, since I don't plan on returning in my life.

23/03/2025: We came in in a group, but were super rushed to order our drinks. When we said we weren’t ready to order yet, the waitress rolled her eyes and sighed, so we left . To be fair one of us left our jackets and she did bring it back.

09/11/2024: No atmosphere and not looking very nice. It is just good to grab a coffe and run out...

21/10/2024: Thanks Luke.. Fantastic coffee as always.. Brilliant customer service.. Great start to anyone's day...

23/02/2025: Great gem not too far off the beaten track. Welcoming with good pints! Darts and pool too.

15/11/2024: Owner's son lost his head at me for suggesting he waxed his eyebrows and threatened to break my face. Young man...you need to get a job and do something productive with your life instead of threatening customers of your Dad's pub

02/01/2025: Wife and I were out for the night, she was all dressed up and hoping to get ploughed. Found this fine establishment but unfortunately, Lee got there first. The wife got rode red raw in the cleanest jax she said she's ever seen. Enjoyed the nachos but I had to take two stars off because the telly showed the Irish lad getting kicked out of the darts and it was awful noisy in the place. Could have done with some live music. It was hard going alternating between the racket from the kitchen, the bathroom and the wife. Lee is some man, gave me a commemorative singing fish to take home.

01/01/2025: Was walking around town in the pouring rain looking for a place to watch the darts and came across this absolute utopia of a spot. Really welcoming vibe in there with great craic among both patrons and staff alike. Pints were amongst the finest this side of the Lee. The owner was shooting a few lasting glances at the missus but other than that a top top experience. I think at one point I even saw the owner unclog a rather nasty looking toilet. Was quite a Sight! Would recommend.

14/02/2025: Very friendly staff and good service but food wasn’t good. Pasta al limone was inedible because it was so bitter and the tiramisu was frozen in the middle. Disappointing.

08/02/2025: recently visited Don gregorio, a fresh pasta spot in the city, with high expectations, but unfortunately, my experience was a mixed bag. I ordered the spicy pasta with guanciale, and I was disappointed to find that the dish didn’t include any guanciale at all. The pasta itself was clumped together, likely because it wasn’t loosened enough with sauce, and the sauce lacked flavor. For a restaurant specializing in fresh pasta, this was a letdown. On a positive note, the **mortadella focaccia** was excellent—well-prepared and flavorful. The **coffee and cannoli** were also highlights of the meal, and I’d definitely recommend them. One frustration was missing out on the **ragu special**, which is one of my favorites. I wasn’t informed about it by the staff but overheard the waiter telling other customers. It would have been nice to have been given the same opportunity to try it. Overall, while there were some bright spots, the inconsistency in the food and service left me underwhelmed. I might give it another try in the future, but for now, I’d recommend sticking to the appetizers and desserts.

12/01/2025: I am ABSOLUTELY APPALLED by the service my family member got today !! We are regulars for years and that is the way they were treated today, and for it the be the owner to have that reaction towards a regular customer is an absolute disgrace. The ladies that work there are fantastic they always greet you with a smile, but safe to say because of the owner!! they will NOT be getting a thing from us after that. I’m sickened!!

17/12/2024: Old Style chipper. 2 Cod 12 euros large chips 4.50. Best chips in Glanmire. Best Fish in Glanmire. Excellent value.

17/07/2024: This full Irish breakfast that is just under €14.00 euros. Everything included in the full Irish traditional Irish breakfast. That is served all day. With prices and quality this restaurant has pushed its priorities to the limit with great satisfaction. The staff were more then happy to assist with the food ordered and  anything else that was required. The menu in this grill restaurant is simple, yet has alot to offer to satisfy your hungry needs, for all foodies. With quality food served in a comfortable spacious indoor seating area. With an interesting and attenative interior. This restaurant will definitely give you top rated quality food at affordable prices. Highly recommend.

01/07/2024: Breakfast Right on the money if you’re looking for somewhere to have a good old breakfast in Cork centre. The couple who run this joint make you feel so welcome and the breaky was spot on!

13/04/2025: Food is a bit dry like skibidy toilet

09/01/2025: Food is incredible. never disappoints does Dino’s and as a little kid i always used to go to Dino’s for the chicken burgers because they were absolutely out of this world! safe to say their mixed kebabs are LUSH!

17/02/2025: I was invited to a curry soirée over Christmas & all the food came from Spice Route. Everyone was blown away by the flavours, quality of the ingredients, succulent meats, naan breads, special fried rice all with very generous portions. I now get my Indian takeaways several times a month only from here. Asif does an amazing Phal chicken curry - best I’ve ever tasted in 50 years of eating curries! Amazing Indian cooking 🙏🙏

19/01/2025: I saw lack of higiene with workers and don’t want go into pormenores because make me sick just to think about.

25/07/2024: The owner of this company Kevin has asked me to take down my review.. what a disgrace the way they treat staff.. you have to be on your phone all day doing nothing or a lickh*le to get respect. Nothing for good workers.
