The best restaurants in Cork

28/09/2025: Lovely place to stop for breakfast. Pit on the pricy side but well worth it. Staff are friendly and very accommodating.

18/09/2025: Absolutely FABULOUS food. South American and Asian fusion. Sometimes Irish ;) Im fussy and its diiiiiivine !

19/09/2025: Best coffee down this way, great spot!

12/08/2025: Excellent authentic hot chocolate

17/10/2025: Good fish and chips, large portion.

11/10/2025: Best Tacco chips I've had in a long time. Pizza was good too. People in the comments complaining about the price 🙄 go complain to the government who's ripping all of us off. Businesses have to survive,

18/07/2025: I ate pizza and chips 🍟 😋 was very tasty.. Everything is fresh and perfect 👌

01/05/2025: chips, kabab and pizza very tasty with good service.

23/08/2025: Disappointed in the experience for lunch, we were expecting more but for lunch the menu is quite limited. The salmon salad was basic and the service was a bit slow. The atmosphere must be better for dinner but for lunch was underwhelming.

19/08/2025: We sat outside and enjoyed the beautiful view of Irish meadows. The coffee was very, very good from a portafilter machine. They even had oat milk for the cappuccino or café latte. Really good! We also had warm apple pie with vanilla ice cream and whipped cream – absolutely delicious! The service was very friendly and attentive. We had a great time, thank you :)

02/10/2025: Wonderful food, Niall was warm and welcoming and was happy to look up which of the wines were veggie. Thai red curry and mushroom tagliatelle were absolutely delicious.

21/09/2025: The food looks delicious. It tastes just as good. The menu is written on a chalkboard placed at the table, making it easy to read even without reading glasses. Pleasant music plays in the background, not too loud; it truly creates a welcoming atmosphere. The decor is spacious and filled with elephants. The view is breathtaking!

18/07/2025: Visiting family, as we live in England. And I could not remember the last time I actually enjoyed a Chinese in the UK. So I was excited to have one while here. I always get them when over, as we are over a few times a year. However this is by far the nicest Chinese I have had in years. It was full of flavour and spices. We ordered Spice bag 4 in 1 Sweet and sour chicken and chips Curry sauce. The sweet and sour was delicious, it had so much flavour. I will be getting this Chinese again. My nan is not a huge lover of Chinese. However she made me give her the menu so she can pop in herself to get her sweet and sour. As she absolutely loved it. She would never usually order as she wouldn't know how or where. However, she will be now. Staff were lovely and welcoming, too.

17/07/2025: Portion of food I received was a lot! The salt and chili fries were very good. I also got egg fried rice and vegetable red Thai curry. My only concern was that the curry was a bit too sweet and would've been better with tofu in it as well, I should've asked to see if they would add it in but that can be a next vist question. I recommend this restaurant.

01/10/2025: Great place with a home from home feel Welcoming Will be back soon for the craic

09/09/2025: Unbelievable Pub, top night, packed to the rafters, great Guinness, fantastic atmosphere. Free food given round,spacious smoking area outdoors! Live music. Fabulous

05/10/2025: What can I say, only Amazing, Amazing, Amazing.

27/09/2025: Excellent food and pleasant Atmosphere

19/10/2025: Love, love, love the food served there. Sadly only managed to get to eat there once while we were on holiday in the area, as cafe seemed to be closed on other days we tried.

16/10/2025: Beautiful food, friendly staff and a warm cozy cafe with some outdoor seating.

11/07/2025: Beer garden is quite special on s nice summer’s evening! Pints are quality too

26/05/2025: Cosy pub, with good beer selection and friendly service. We only had a drink here.

28/08/2025: Excellent structure with self-service for lunch and restaurant in the evening, large parking lot, prices a little high

27/08/2025: I'd give 1 star for the set menu which is insanely overpriced and just not good enough, but the carvery is nice and good value and the staff are friendly and deserve more stars.

25/08/2025: Connolly's of Leap is an amazing family run pub and live music venue. An historical gem which is full of atmosphere. Inside there is a superb intimate music venue with a small balcony/mezzanine either side. In the garden is a beautiful unique stage, crafted in timber by a local artisan, with a good built-in sound system. The proprieters, siblings Sam & Mary, strive to keep this iconic little music venue thriving, They looked after us really well. All staff and crew are friendly and welcoming. We tried a few delicious wood-fired Pizzas, which were very tasty, in a word exceptional. I have travelled the length and breadth of Ireland over the last 40 years, visiting literally hundreds of pubs and live music venues in every county and this is one of the very best. My single regret is that I didn't discover it much earlier. Despite it being over a 4 hour drive from home we will definitely return.

16/08/2025: Lovely spot. Great breakfast and a friendly staff. Will definitely be back

04/11/2025: Even though the setting is pleasant, the service is far from commensurate with the prices charged at this establishment... From the appetizer to the dessert, everything is just okay, and even less so when it comes to one of their specialties, the meat, which they don't seem to know how to cook properly... what a shame... only the slideshow (not included) allowed me to travel a little... One star nonetheless for the person who served us, who was very friendly and professional. I don't understand the other reviews; the 5 stars are not deserved given the quality/price ratio... I won't be going back.

02/10/2025: Enjoy the night food ok atmosphere ok in all won't be back any time soon
