The best restaurants in Cork

21/01/2026: i’ve order pizza from here many times and usually it’s pretty good, tonight my pizza was undercooked, the pepperoni looked raw and the red onions were soggy and slimy. i couldn’t even finish the pizza it was disgusting.

17/01/2026: solomon delea is the nicest most polite and made my entire night good laugh with yhe lads needs a raise

30/11/2025: Standards not as good as other dinos , no peas or tarter sauce on fish supper even after they were confirmed with order at counter , curry sauce cold and watery, chips undercooked and hard low quality .

12/11/2025: Have let the chips go to the dog ,needs way longer in the fryer , good pricing , poor products double cheeseburger is double patty not patty and extra bun to make look bigger

03/12/2025: The only place I go to in the Marina Market!!

02/12/2025: We visited the Marina Market in Cork today, a 2 hour drive from where we live and my goodness it’s worth it for this food alone! We got the tenders and baos to share. The Korean fried chicken baos in particular are stunning, myself and my husband were very impressed 😍 gorgeous crispy coated chicken, fresh flavours, delicious sauces and pickles. Perfect! Highly recommended!

06/02/2026: Food was ok. Service isn’t good. Takes a little too long to get food.

02/02/2026: Got nearly 50 euro worth off food today, the chips and the chicken were so dry and greasy at the same time fare play, curry opened and spilt all over the bag ,taco fries tasted like it was cooking for the last week , last time I'll be eating at any Dino's

07/06/2025: Overpriced, undercooked food. Staff not accommodating to multiple guest requests.

04/05/2025: Tried to eat there last night and it was PACKED! Had my dinner there tonight so…upon entering I was accommodated at a table that was reserved; yes I was informed it was reserve for 2 hrs later. Fair as I was alone so it wasn’t an issue. The staff were exceptional! So kind and considerate. My meal came SO fast & thank goodness for that because I was starving. My salad was fresh and tasty! Nice chunks of avocado too. My chicken supreme was SO SO GOOD! I normally don’t eat cauliflower so I gave it a taste tonight and ended up eating it. That goes to show on how well prepared everything was right down to the cauliflower. Highly recommend when in Cork!

07/01/2026: What else can I say only a 5 star experience from beginning to end. Came in here with the Monday blues with it being my first Monday back to work since the Christmas break. It was 4:30 and looked like they were beginning to close the place down. A young man bursts out of the kitchen and you could just tell he had a passion for his job. He explains that they usually start to close the place down around now but just for me he will stick something on. 5 minutes later he comes out with a piping hot sandwich which was delicious and a flat white with a swan as the latte art. Simply amazing and will definitely be back

07/01/2026: Phenomenal cafe. Food was exceptional, flat white one of the best in Cork and the staff were quick and attentive. Highly recommend!

04/01/2026: The food has gone way up in price not willing to pay that amount remember its a lot of children here everything has doubled so come on now Mr kebab lower your prices as people will go eyes where

24/12/2025: Used to like this place got very sloppy , they now started used frozen chips instead of fresh chips , the frozen chips are tasteless

02/08/2025: The fry, one of the very few traditional chip shops left in Cork, well priced, beautiful food, phone in orders available, and they accept credit cards

23/07/2025: I had haddock and it was not pinboned and when I was eating scales were coming directly in my mouth. It was not descaled as well and the quantity was not enough. Very bad experience with haddock. 1/4 and 1/2 pounders are nice.

05/10/2025: had meal last night food not good .spring roll not hot. found chicken bone in chicken fried rice. staff weren't good at taking our orders. won't be going there again

28/09/2025: Food was lovely,curry was a bit sweet for me. Staff are lovely

29/12/2025: Just came back from there, made an order, waited a little bit but the staff were nice and friendly 🙂so we’re happy

13/12/2025: Amazing I recommend really good customer service great vibes food 11/10 very happy 🥳

24/08/2025: Customer service is a disgrace told to go order somewhere else because a trainee mixed up the order. Asked could i get chicken and large pizza combo at the start of the call which i was told yes i could. Then told it wasn't possible so had to speak to someone else who didn't want to listen to what i had to say and told me go order elsewhere.

24/08/2025: customer service is absolutely shocking.

30/01/2026: Food and service 5 stars. Tasty, chicken is always tender and juicy. The owner is always so thankful and has a good sense of humour! When I first decided to get something I asked "What do you sell?" The owner turned around looked at racks of chicken and said "Well, chicken" and had a good laugh. There is always a queue especially at lunch time so this should speak for itself

08/01/2026: Is the chicken halal? It’s not stated anywhere and apparently it is??!!! Il remove or update my comment based on the response!

31/01/2026: Needs a clean up outside , sign falling down

03/10/2025: Top class bar with a lovely atmosphere

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.
