The best restaurants in Cork

22/05/2026: Always there to sort good food when you need it

20/05/2026: Always the best spot after a night out! Never fails definitely would recommend ✨

07/11/2025: Situated in the center on the corner of North Main Street this bar is a nice upmarket establishment with a cosy atmosphere. The staff were friendly, the drinks cold and the toilets spotless.

05/11/2025: Great service, very attentive. The double fried fries were great, however the smaller ones were hard to chew. Ribs spot on. Can be a bit dark in certain areas

31/05/2026: Could have been very nice. The bouncer was not a good person. I do not know how to describe the hate that was felt as a person of colour, but it was extreme. I have felt welcome in every other pub in this wonderful city but this was hateful. Cannot recommend it less, you will need to fire this hateful man.

18/05/2026: One of Cork's heritage pubs. An institution. Typical pub atmosphere and a great selection of beers. We were particularly impressed by the Beamish Stout! Important to know: they don't serve food, only drinks.

09/06/2026: We really liked the restaurant; it was efficient, fast, and friendly. The food was good and plentiful, and the waitresses were nice. It was very busy on a Monday night, which speaks for itself. I found the prices very reasonable.

08/06/2026: There was a large group of us that visited from all over the world. The service was absolutely fantastic. The food all came out hot, well presented and on time. We didn’t have to wait long. Everyone said how good their meal was.

03/04/2026: Idk y’all… food was quite mid esp considering the price. My veggie dish felt like it was heated up in the microwave sadly. My partner’s beef he said was fine. We didn’t bother with dessert. Would skip esp if only doing one meal in Cork as portions are literally tiny for 27€.

27/03/2026: Soo good - everything was delicious and service impeccable

02/06/2026: The food was amazing and the serving was also perfect.

26/05/2026: Absolutely incredible food. Easily one of the best Thai meals I’ve had in a long time. The portions were so generous, everything was packed with flavour, and you could genuinely taste the quality in every bite. Fresh, delicious, and so satisfying. The service was excellent and the atmosphere was lovely too. I’ll definitely be back.

15/05/2026: Awesome service and great food.

14/05/2026: My family and I rented a private room for a storytelling and musical evening - and had a special menu prepared for our group. The experience we had was outstanding in every respect. The servers were professional and welcoming from the start. They were also very accommodating to food allergies and substitutions we asked for. The main server Bev was truly delightful. She was so friendly and made the evening seamless - from appetizers to dessert. The food itself was fantastic including the Roast of the Day and the incredible Homemade Apple Crumble. Could not have asked for a better experience!

31/05/2026: Portion sizes not great for the price 😕 Staff amazing 👏

29/05/2026: Have been here a few times over the years for breakfast, brunch, lunch and dinners. Is always really good; simple food really well made and packed with flavour. Outside is lovely when the weather permits, but inside is equally as nice. Staff are always friendly and knowledgeable when asked any questions. Highly recommend. The bacon collar in particular is fab!

03/11/2025: Great customer service. Chips are beautiful so fresh and crispy

23/10/2025: I have a severe allergy to both milk and gluten, I don’t eat out at restaurants in the US much due to this. Kiely’s made me feel so comfortable with their allergy protocol and listing allergens on their menu as well. The fish and chips were delicious and such a treat. I love how light the breading was and had zero reactions. 💜 I will certainly visit again before I fly back home.

25/05/2026: Had Dinner at The Cornstore Last night ,Food and Service was exceptional and Thanks Max ,5 stars from us !

20/05/2026: This was our first time in Cork and when we asked a local where to get a great meal, they said Cornerstore Cork. And we were not disappointed. The food, service, and atmosphere was wonderful. A very nice place to dine with friends, family, or your significant other. Bon appetit!

24/05/2026: Very disappointed for being refused entry for wearing Cork jerseys kids traumatised!! Do not recommend!

22/05/2026: One of the nicest cocktails I have ever had. A1.

07/04/2026: We weren't able to try it because, even though we arrived very early, they don't accept children. I had done some research beforehand, but I didn't find this information... Anyway, it was very crowded. Response to the owner: We arrived at 6:00 PM on April 2, 2026, and one of your employees told us that you don't accept children as soon as they entered. Perhaps if you accept children, you should let your employees know.

06/04/2026: We're very close together, nice people, nice music, very folk

15/06/2026: Lovely spacious beer garden, great pizzas, great staff and a good range of craft beers.

31/05/2026: They have a beer garden and nice pizza

26/12/2025: There are holes in the seats, toilets are atrocious, amongst many other issues. Just get them upholstered, sort the place out. you can keep the charm of the pub... it doesn't need to be a dive

21/12/2025: Great atmosphere, love the location too, drinking space indoors or enclosed outdoor area. Friendly staff.

22/05/2026: I visited this place with 2 of my friends on our first trip to Cork. The food is so immaculate and amazing. Way better than Dublin. Safe to say the best indian food we had in Ireland so far. The staff is very polite and service is appreciable too. Pranav and Saugat, both, were real sweethearts with their approach and nature and helped us guide through the menu. I'll really recommend this restaurant. Thank you to the entire team. Best wishes to the lads as well for their futures. Great experience overall.

22/05/2026: Awesome restaurant if you want authentic Indian food. Ambiance is great and food out standing!
