The best restaurants in Cork

05/05/2024: Grabbed a take out order, quick and lovely staff. Great selection of Brazilian street food.

13/01/2024: Its been my third time getting their acai cup. Truly went head over heels with it. It doesnt need any added sweetener as its already so sweet for me. I should definitely asked for more granola as it was a good combo. Portion is big enough, recommended to share with another person unless you’re extra hangry.

04/11/2024: The food is delicious!! Well done to the chef and all staffs! The pancetta, coxinhas and rice moqueca were gorgeous! The service is excellent and cocktails incredible! The only dish that I did not like was Ceviche, it has lots of carrots instead of fish (needs to improve!)

31/10/2024: Food was great but seating fills fast. Our bartender, Colm made delicious drinks and had great recommendations. Thanks for being patient with us as first timers in Ireland xx

30/10/2024: Interesting location, staff were nice and accommodating. Breakfast was nice, but nothing special for the price.

21/10/2024: Good place good food will be back again

25/10/2024: This is a popular bar among retired folk. Great atmosphere, service and price.

14/09/2024: Very nice and very personal place. We asked if there was anything to eat for lunch. Yes, v sandwiches. Just tell me what you want, said the man behind the bar. Add fries? Very pleasant and friendly staff. Recommended!

15/11/2024: When the French couple at the table next to you are remarking how good the food is and yours is delicious as well that's enough.

11/11/2024: My first time and last time in this restaurant. The area was extremely narrow. On one side of the restaurant (pathway) was a row of small tables for two the other side was a shelf with stool’s looking down on to the market stalls. I was lucky enough to have a seat against the wall. My sister was seated with her back to narrow walkway, which meant people and staff trying to negotiate the space would bump against her and other diners too. My sister had mixed grill which she enjoyed. I had scrambled eggs which were over cooked ( Rubbery ). Trying to exit the restaurant was crazy! The narrow stairs was packed with people waiting to be seated so you can imagine the scene with people trying to exit safely down the stairs! Definitely a health & safety issue!

02/11/2024: I Absolutely love Ross bakery. Collected a Togoodtogo today which was a lovely treat. But honestly I don’t have enough good things to say about this place they do amazing fresh cakes and bread, but also have a cozy seating area in the back for breakfast. We’ve been going since I was in primary school and I always look forward to a visit. Top tier breakfast rolls ;).

29/10/2024: Fantastic old-fashioned café eith quality ingredients and a local feel. Doorstep sandwiches are the best I know of in Cork and the doughnuts are just incredible. Friendly staff too

09/11/2024: Not only is the coffee delicious but the team working here really know how to look after there customers Always a smile and a bit of craic 😊 😃 😀

29/10/2024: Box'd coffee is a drive thru pod, the coffee is unreal

30/10/2024: Food was lovely. Presented well. Tasted delicious. The two coeliacs in our group had no difficulty with ordering and their quality/quantity wasn't compromised. It's not cheap, with most main meals around €25, but although "quite swanky", portions are generous on the whole. Two of our party had lamb, served on colcannon base, which looked especially tasty (and lots of it). One had a steak served (still cooking) on a stone. I'm not a fan of stone on the table on the whole, but this was a good idea to allow the diner to enjoy as its done to their own taste. Overall, portion sizes were decent, although I'm glad I ordered a side of chips with my cod as it only came with samfire and tomatoes (all delicious but chips /fries included would be nice). My porcini mushrooms & pasta starter was a particular highlight.

22/10/2024: Group of 10 - 4 of us got the worst steak cut ever. Not edible, chewy, all fat, tasteless. And they still charged us full whack. Such a poor experience and a huge drop in quality since our last visit. Charged full price as well. 100% won't be back. Universally shared disappointment within our group

15/09/2024: We went for a family birthday. It was a very enjoyable experience. Staff very friendly and attentive. Sushi starters were outstanding. Main courses 100%. Rioja was perfect and reasonably priced, I don’t understand how a minority of reviewers rated this restaurant so low,

23/07/2024: Disappointed this time. Food cold, main courses have got smaller. Coffee v cold. Usually great. Will try again.

21/08/2024: Food is extremely tasty and delicious, the staff are always very friendly and helpful. Great experienc.

17/08/2024: Five star service. Fantastic food, the kind of homely food that comforts us to the core. The caipirinha was top, top. A real surprise in Cork. Thanks

05/11/2024: Cozy place, the food was really great and the portions were generous. Downstairs could have a better ventilation system. Very friendly staff, would go again!!

23/10/2024: De-licious! We had the vegetarian fajitas and spicy mango margarita 👌

05/11/2024: Good spot when going in a group, good pizza and friendly staff. Ideal for those who can't drink on an empty stomach

01/11/2024: Food was the best Woodfire pizza I’ve had to date, pictures don’t do it justice. All staff are really friendly. Great music, nice drinks. All round really good and a must try

20/10/2024: Be me. Travel alone. It's cold and a bit breezy. Do some quick googling. Realize you can't get in to the Michelin started place. Fallback and COME HERE! Be warned it will be busy. The people know about this place. The place looks a lot bigger on the outside (opposite TARDIS). Inside there might be about 8 seats. The Q is packed. Order for take away and miss out on some specials. The staff is helpful and friendly even for a foreigner like myself. I got a prawn onigiri and tantanmen. The onigiri was gigantic, and if you're not terribly hungry it might do you. The diamond was the tantanmen however. This dish was absolute gas. 🔥🔥🔥 I did cry a bit because I'll have to fly back to Cork to get this again. The atmosphere added to the dinner. I felt welcomed, like someone elses home, and home cooking. Thanks for making feel like family for the evening. Immaculate. 💙

14/10/2024: Best Katsu curry I’ve had in a long time

13/09/2024: Great location great atmosphere and some friendly staff

11/09/2024: The two boys that worked on the night we visited were very friendly and helpful.

19/10/2024: Very friendly, warm and good-natured! We loved this DJ set moment and these honest laughs!

29/07/2024: In my opinion this is one of the best pubs on the North side of cork city. The bar itself is very comfy . The staff are so polite and professional and the pint is absolutely perfect. Highly recommended
