The best restaurants in Cork

25/05/2025: Nice place for a coffee and a bite to eat

02/10/2024: Made a booking online then turned up (after driving 20 mins) and they have signs up saying permanently closed…suggest to change the booking system to stop taking bookings

30/09/2024: We ate twice at O’Connor’s whilst visiting Bantry - breakfast and diner - with a large and small family group. Our Aunt Margaret loves O’Connors so we skipped mass and headed over for a hearty breakfast. We had a large crowd over and O’Connor’s, who were very busy, were superb in accommodating our booking. Service was fast and attentive, the staff lovely even though they were rushed off their feet. Luckily Margaret had booked and we saw many people turned away. O’Connor’s is clean and modern, a lovely place that has a great atmosphere and the staff take time to chat, again, despite being busy. Portions are great and because I arrived a little late, the O’Connor’s team sorted me a fantastic gluten free bacon sandwich. A couple of nights later, we went for dinner with a smaller group and it was very good. We sat in the covered area out side and it felt very cosmopolitan, Brilliant restaurant, family friendly and good value. The key selling point is the fantastic staff. I understand it’s up for sale and the challenge for new owners will be matching how good this place is. Lovely people, good food and brilliant service.

28/05/2025: We had lunch, the staff were lovely, the food was amazing. Would highly recommend, well worth a visit.

13/03/2025: Deli food is usually cold/not cooked fully and often times raw, the staff are lovely but the food is definitely not up to par

28/02/2025: Great shop with petrol and car wash also has revolution wash and dry laundry service very handy.

26/06/2025: 10/10 Bakery! Amazing staff, great service, friendly atmosphere and delicious food and coffee.

30/05/2025: Delicious made-to-order sandwiches on their fresh-baked bread. Nice variety of pastries to go with my flat white. If I lived here, I’d drop by every day!

16/02/2025: My friend Ivy's family owns this place

26/11/2024: First time stopping here this evening as I pass it most days coming home. Reading the good reviews said I would give it a go. The reviews were not lying, the food was so good. Place is worth the stop, I will be back for sure

27/04/2025: We had a beautiful meal this afternoon, food, service and atmosphere all a 10/10. Looking forward to visiting again.

12/10/2024: Fabulous dining experience, full house on a Saturday night provided for a lovely atmosphere helped by laid back, pleasant, friendly staff who were well trained and super at what they do. Great building with old style large shopfront windows. BYO policy at no extra charge which is pretty unique! Every dish was fresh & delicious, mussels, sea bream, haddock, beef all cooked and presented to perfection. Totally enjoyable evening finished off nicely with a reasonable bill. Definitely recommend.

16/09/2024: Fabulous restaurant in the picturesque setting of Rosscarbery village with large windows to take it in and we had the perfect table inside the window to enjoy it. We were advised on arrival of the BYO policy with local pubs happily allowing takeaway drinks to the restaurant or shop with off licence a few doors away. Complimentary delicious bread was served immediately which is becoming more of a rarity. The BYO is also complimentary even though they chill your beers and supply wine coolers and glasses at your table. We started with mussels and portobello mushrooms, our mains included haddock, crayfish & a slow cooked beef pasta dish finishing off with yummy desserts. Each dish and mouthful was cooked to perfection and so flavoursome. Roast veg were served with mains, water bowls not forgotten with mussels, food and service was perfection. Finally the dreaded part……the bill but this was almost as good as the food!!! This restaurant is extremely well priced, something we don’t see these days…….value for money offering superb quality food and pleasant service in a really nice atmosphere makes for a night out that you’ll want to and can afford to repeat several times. Highly highly recommend.

27/06/2025: I'm very disappointed. It's a confusing menu. Gluten-free options were very limited. Items on the menu were not available. Staff seemed confused and were not helpful.

31/05/2025: This place is amazing and the market out the back in the courtyard on Saturday and Sunday is to die for with something for everyone

20/10/2024: Great traditional Irish Pub, good beer and company

26/06/2025: Delicious croissants and great coffee, plus really friendly service. Thank you very much.

04/04/2025: Fantastic cafe, delicious food and great price point. The staff are so kind and have got great music taste 👌🏻 we had the tomato soup and the Beef and Brie sandwich and it was delicious! 🤤
