The best restaurants in Cork

31/07/2025: Very nice place. Love the view of the waterfall and the boulder outside while you're eating. The cook your own steak is interesting too. It's just that the smoke can cover the whole room making it uncomfortable and smelly. Overall will come back here for dinner. Staff are polite and helpful as well.

23/07/2025: Amazing food, great service and beautiful ambience with a waterfall surrounded by flowers at the window.

25/07/2025: Wonderful lunch of fish & chips at Kielys. Best homemade tartar sauce I’ve ever had! While others in our party chose this place due to it being gluten free, I’ve got to say it’s the best fish & chips I’ve ever had anywhere! Highly recommend!

25/07/2025: Amazing GF fish & chips: crisp not greasy, super friendly service, would give it 6 stars if I could! Visiting from Newfoundland, Canada, where we also have excellent fish & chips, but this place is next level!!

09/08/2025: Beautiful hotel on the outskirts of Cork. Walking trail from parking lot. Very quiet. Don't ask for take out containers for your breakfast, not even for coffee!

06/08/2025: We had the most amazing wedding at Vienna Woods! From start to finish, everything was perfect. Gordon and Seamus looked after us so well – their attention to detail, warmth, and professionalism made the day completely stress-free. The food was absolutely outstanding, and the service throughout was second to none. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommended!

30/07/2025: Amazing pastries, the best I've had in Ireland (that wasn't straight from a bakery). Great coffee too.

18/07/2025: Best coffee I’ve had in cork during my 2 week visit and the best latte I’ve had ever. Lunch was great definitely be back if I’m in the area again.

06/08/2025: I love this pub and the traditional Irish music. If you want to listen to pure Irish music, at 18:30 you can enjoy it.

04/08/2025: If ever in Cork and you are looking to enjoy a pint and listen to some traditional Irish music then you need to go here.

26/06/2025: Friendly staff. Friendly crowd. Great whiskey selection. Great stour. A real traditional Irish pub. You could be in any village or town in Cork when you step in there.

18/06/2025: Awesome, cozy, welcoming feel. Seemed like a neighborly place with a great vibe and friendly bartender.

18/08/2025: Love the gaf but they didn't have bitters after I spent 7.50 on a ginger beer :(

10/08/2025: I was there with my son for an event and it was fantastically organised. Loads of space as well. Lovely staff.

31/07/2025: Take some time to be encouraged to put your cell phone away, then meet and talk to people. Bartenders here are fantastic. I prefer the spot by the window or sitting at the bar.

16/07/2025: Excellent Beamish, great barman, no phones, no obnoxiously loud crap music. Best pub in Cork.

05/07/2025: Great pub serving their own brewed beers. Good and helpful service when you get to the front of the queue. Only one person serving when more were needed.

05/07/2025: Fantastic local beer, good pizza, very nice people!

05/08/2025: We stopped in on our way from West cork to Laois on a recommendation and we were not disappointed. The manager who welcomed us was really friendly and so helpful with the allergen menus. I've actually never seen another restaurant do this so well. They were able to enter into a tablet what my husband couldnt eat and it then showed a personalised menu with all the items that he could have! They also had a full vegan menu with loads of choice for me. The vegan menu was really well thought out and not just a token dish as you usually find in many restaurants. The food was great and we had lovely mocktails too. Cathering so well for special diets makes this a really inclusive restaurant. Well done to them! We will be back!

03/08/2025: Had the carvery at lunchtime today. Absolutely beautiful food cooked to perfection. Could not fault. Service was excellent. Resteraunt was gleaming. Looking forward to my next visit.

16/08/2025: Brilliant place for drink and food 😀

15/08/2025: We booked a space at the back, was great. Loads of space, one thing tho, when it start to get crowed, they rise the volume of the music, which in turn forces you to rise your voice.

23/07/2025: One of the best Sausage rolls in Cork

08/07/2025: Really nice sandwiches & salads looked good as well. Get there early as queue gets long & they might be sold out of some items.

11/08/2025: La música era demasiado alta. Hizo que toda la experiencia fuera extremadamente dolorosa, físicamente dolorosa. Pedí otra mesa más lejos de los altavoces, pero me dijeron que no había ninguna. El tono de nuestro camarero fue de lo más desagradable. Realmente no parecía importarle. En cuanto a la comida, tomó cerca de una hora para obtener nuestras hamburguesas y no eran nada especial. ¡La peor cena en Irlanda hasta ahora! Nos alojaremos en Cork durante 3 días, pero nunca pondremos un pie en Dwyers nunca más. ¡Advertimos a nuestros amigos que no vayan!

11/08/2025: One of the highlights of our visit to Cork. Great place for live traditional Irish music.

25/07/2025: Went here Sunday 20th July the service was very poor almost seemed disappointed we came into the restaurant And the food wasn't any better I got the fish n chips which was very poor the batter was soggy and under cooked my daughters got the Thai red curry which seemed to have a full bunch of coriander in it and the other got the pan fried cod which in fairness wasn't bad but overall it was not good !!

30/06/2025: Lovely place, food is great, the service in particular is fantastic. Came for a mid-sized event and the staff were absolutely brilliant and did a great job. Food quality and selection was very good

04/08/2025: Umi's regular in Dublin. Their menus and options are bit different than Dublin. Found a strand of hair in one of our bowls and lentils and rice didn't feel right. Could have been better. Cauliflower fritters and Falafels were good.

26/07/2025: super nice service and really delicious! many vegan options
