The best restaurants in Cork

11/12/2024: Ordered from here Fri 8.11.24. Took 2 hours to deliver. Food arrived cold. Wrong toppings on the burgers. They were closed by the time the food arrived. Pretty poor. We contacted them highlighting it. No response. Won’t be returning.

23/11/2024: I ordered two burgers from the restaurant on Deliveroo. It arrived a little late because of the storm, but they didn’t give up, and I’m just glad I didn’t cancel! The fries are crunchy, and the burger is fresh and tastes amazing. I will definitely order again and highly recommend.

14/03/2025: We have ordered a variety of stuff from this menu and it has all been really nice! The lady that normally servws us behind the counter is nice to deal with, and there’s never too long of a wait for the food. Super friendly taking orders over the phone too! Likely to be our regular takeaway.

08/03/2025: This is our 4th and last time ordering from Asia Gourmet. I will not talk about taste or flavors as it is subjective matter. The meat in all four dishes /2 with chicken and 2 with pork/ was mixed pieces of fresh and old. Awful. We had that before, but i was optimist that this was one off and they will not do it again. I was wrong. We all feel sick now. Never again.

22/03/2025: I jad been to this place some time ago and was happily surprised with the food. Went in to taste the chicken sandwiches today, which was lovely but not the quality I had known. Today the service is horrendous; we had to ask for glasses with our cokes, then napkins, and to have our table clean before laying the food. No sides with sandwiches which for the price I would expect. Tables were left with dishes and not always cleaned afterwards. The trays were sticky and filthy. The young man seems to have his head around more than the young girl. The place definitely needs someone extra for the service and cleaning. I will try again in a few weeks if changes have been made.

17/03/2025: We waited 35 minutes for an egg, two toasts and a slice of bacon even though the restaurant wasn't full at all. We paid 14€ for this meager plate with a coffee.In addition, the quality is really poor and the employees are unpleasant. Finally we waited for our dishes and ate them in a cloudy atmosphere. I think the ventilation is broken because there was smoke everywhere, very unpleasant to breathe for so long in that environment

09/01/2025: Precios escandalosos por comidas inferiores a la media. Tuvimos 2 sopas, 2 salmones, 1 tabla de queso del desierto, 2 rjoja, 1 café - 147 euros. El salmón solo para 2 personas era de 74 euros. Comprendía 1 Salmón Darne, una pila de coles de Bruselas cortadas por la mitad y lo que se llamó una patata Fondant, que cuando llegó era una patata asada ligeramente más grande que la media. Siéntate con eso un rato, Salmon Darne de una pescadería de renombre 15 euros máximo por 3! y coles de Bruselas con SALMON!!!! Estoy pensando seriamente en enviar mi propia receta al chef. El Rjoja era de 14 euros por copa... mi invitada se avergonzaría si se hubiera dado cuenta. La sopa estaba sobre especiada hasta el punto de ser inductora de tos y lo único positivo fue la tabla de queso que era sustancial para una porción del desierto y podría haber sido compartida por dos. El servicio y el ambiente en el día era de primera clase, pero mi pueblo Dios el chef te está decepcionando a lo grande. Nunca volveré a comer aquí de nuevo y me quedé horrorizado el día al ver a los grupos de pensionistas todos fuera por lo que obviamente era su regalo de Navidad y pensar que les cobraron los mismos precios!

05/01/2025: Living very near to this hotel, my partner and I have been numerous times over the years to this super restaurant, and it has always been top notch in terms of atmosphere, service, and quality/price ratio. Maybe this evening was an exceptionally low point. All restaurants can have those, I guess. I noticed we were seated at a table with a great view overlooking the city. Next to us, a group of around ten people were celebrating a birthday. So were we. They were not loud or intrusive, but a young child from the party was allowed to run wild around the place, screaming endlessly. It really spoiled the atmosohere noticeably for us and others. Surely, after 7pm, the hotel should restrict young children? The menu was small but well-conceived, with a good choice of meat, fish, and vegetarian options – unlike the 'piped muzak', over which we had no choice at all but to grin and bear it. With screaming kids and tacky music, it gave the place a 'fast food feel.' Not what we expected from previous experiences. We noticed the prices have skyrocketed, too. For two of us eating one course each with one bottle of red wine from Languedoc cost over 120 euro. The location and the hotel are stunning, but has something slipped in the restaurant management department? We suggest a polite notice of a curfew for children, and a ban on music, which, unlike the menu, does not suit all tastes. Politely yours etc...

01/04/2025: Vino por un té y un pastel. El personal me ignoró por completo y cuando pedí pan de plátano trató de cobrarme por el pan de zanahoria también. Pedí un té con leche de almendras. Nunca recibí la leche de almendras y cuando la pedí me pidieron que pagara otros 35 centavos y solo quería una gota. Horrible servicio

14/03/2025: I went there and ordered banana loaf, and the lady misunderstood me and gave me a blueberry muffins and I asked right there respectfully that if she could change it cause I asked for banana load very simple but she got so rude and gave me the meanest tone “we don't have banana loaf” and did not let me finish my senstense ! Its a lovely place and other guy working was nice and I did not had any of my things and left because I did not felt welcome 🙁

06/04/2025: The chicken tenders are absolutely disgusting, inedible in fact. The chips were drenched in oil and €15.50 for that and a drink in a glorified shed is diabolical in this economy

02/04/2025: Everytime I’ve had Poulet Vous the food has been gorgeous, staff manage the lines really well and food always comes out promptly. Had one instance where I was given the wrong item and it was fixed so quickly, was even given a side as an apology! Great customer service 🌟 delighted they have a tasty vegetarian option too, highly recommend if you’re visiting the marina market 👏

02/02/2025: For the last 3 months since a man called James working there the shop has transformed, so organised extremely well stocked, he’s so helpful nothing he won’t help with , cheery attitude such a positive addition to apple green ☺️

11/01/2025: Good prices and friendly staff,great experience had there

07/04/2025: I have tried this restaurant and since the first time I became a loyal customer. Delicious food and fast delivery.

25/02/2025: Weird smell of satay dish, quick service but very expensive

27/03/2025: The chicken sandwich was disgusting, cooked chicken with little veggies. I didn't get the chips in my menu. The guy taking my order didn't listen, the music was to loud

22/03/2025: Some man wearing the jewellery of a rich widow served me the most worst sandwich I have ever received from this longstanding establishment. The portion of meat and salad were not done according subways guidelines. Better training for staff members and hygiene standards need to be implemented asap

27/01/2025: Literally the best Indian food in Ireland. Maybe even India, I wouldn’t know Iv never been.

11/01/2025: I think the quality of the food here has suffered since their change to just takeaway service only. Food quality is just OK. Ordered the Chicken Jalfrezi and Chicken Tikka Masala. A very small amount of thinly sliced chicken in the Jalfrezi, which was very dry and overcooked, as a likely consequence of this. The Sauce tasted nice but the dish was not very substantial…I was still hungry when I had finished it. With the rice as an extra cost to the dish, the small Amount of chicken and small portion, it’s very poor value for the price. I understand the concept of quality over quantity, but if you’re still hungry after you’ve eaten it, well what’s the point in that. I won’t be rushing back there unfortunately…such a pity as the standard was better when it was operating as a restaurant.

26/03/2025: Convenient café in Douglas Court shopping centre , tasty food , can be busy at times

09/02/2025: I chose a sandwich and when they said you get soup or 2x salads as a side... well, BONUS... And the 5th 🌟- this one is from my wife, she finally found a wonderful vegan restaurant that has many many options. So happy.

05/04/2025: I’ve been twice pasta reheated and crunchy I won’t be returning

14/03/2025: I had the absolute worst experience at this restaurant. The service was painfully slow, and the staff seemed completely uninterested in helping customers. I had to wait ages just to place an order, and when the food finally arrived, it was cold, bland, and clearly not fresh. To top it off, the server was rude and dismissive when I voiced my concerns. I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone—save your time and money and go somewhere that actually values its customers. P.s this domain where they want us to reply and share our experience feedback@pizzaexpress.com is not available making it even worst.

13/02/2025: Four star pizza at this stage since 90’ is particularly the pizza the election of Cork people. I live in Cork since 2003 and for me is the best pizza, the dough is made everyday the quality of tomato sauce and good cheese of mozzarella and voila it’s all about this 3 ingredients, because the toppings depend of the person but the important part of the piza it’s the base, it’s all about the base.

08/12/2024: Cold food, 1 hour 30 min delivery

30/03/2025: The food was delicious, and the service was quick. I especially enjoyed the chow mein. It’s a quiet place, great for a conversation. The menu offers a wide variety of dishes, though vegetarian options are limited.

22/03/2025: This place can be hit and miss.

26/08/2024: Very delicious. Not too sweet or too salty. Just perfect. Friendly stuff.

11/08/2024: I bought a 6 pack of macarons to bring as a gift home. Even after couple of days and a lot of travel, the quality of the macarons is super nice, they are crispy and have great cream filling. I enjoy that they are not so sweet.
