The best restaurants in Cork

18/08/2026: 1st time ever such an amazing meal in Ireland. Great experience overall -great service -great food /authentic flavour

27/07/2026: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We were family of 8 people, We had a fantastic experience at Coriander Nepalese & Indian Restaurant! The food was absolutely delicious, and the service made the evening even more special. A special shout-out to Pranav from Mumbai, who was incredibly kind, attentive, and went beyond. His hospitality really made a difference. The Murg Malai Kebab was so juicy, tender, and full of flavour, while the Jumbo Tandoori Prawns were absolutely mouth-watering! 🤤🍤 Everything was delicious, and we’ll definitely be coming back. Highly recommended! ❤️

23/08/2026: Beautiful food. Great staff. Would highly recommend

14/08/2026: A great place for parties, casual conversations, and drinks.

01/09/2026: The girl was lovely, but the matcha tasted like green white chocolate; apparently, the coffee was fine. Don't order the matcha.

21/08/2026: Nice little coffee shop on the corner. I had one of the best cups of coffee I've had in a long time. I didn't have food but it looked very good. Only a few people sat in as only a few seats. Not a laptop doing your work coffee shop. More a people talk to people coffee shop. How unusual I know! I think this place has got it just right. Not to commercial but a nice welcoming vibe.

18/08/2026: Traditional Irish Music Night. A group of Irish musicians playing together for their own pleasure.

20/07/2026: An absolute gem of a place and a credit to the city!

01/08/2026: Food was 10/10. We had the double smash bacon burger with the garlic Parmesan fries, and everything was absolutely delicious. The burgers were full of flavour, the fries were unreal, and the quality was excellent. What really stood out, though, was how kind the staff were. They made our toddler feel so welcome, and their kindness genuinely made our visit even more enjoyable. We’ll definitely be back the next time we’re in Cork. Highly recommend!

31/07/2026: Absolutely awful they gave me a burger with no sauce and no cheese fries cold never again

25/08/2026: We stumbled upon this restaurant near our accommodation and were pleasantly surprised. The setting is typical of an Irish pub, and the food is truly excellent! We'll definitely be back on a future trip to Ireland!

19/08/2026: Wonderful place to go could not fault it in any way

14/09/2026: Fire bar also let me borrow a fork ❤️❤️❤️🔥🔥🔥

14/09/2026: Very good atmosphere, great selection of beers, amazing pizzas and good music. However, the beergarden's retractable ceiling is always closed and tobbaco smoke often acumulates, so not really a smoke-free area as should be.

08/09/2026: We came to Barry's to celebrate our 40th anniversary. It was so memorable. The manager, Matre`D ,,Chef and his assistant were amazing. The Matre D reserved us a secluded quiet table and offered spectacular service. I had requested my wife's favourite soup ahead and it was made impeccably. The entrees were wonderful and the Best you could find anywhere. The manager offered very knowledgeable information for a choice from their extensive whiskey and cordial selection. This and the scrumptious desserts made for a 15 out of 10 celebration for our evening.
