The best restaurants in Cork

22/04/2026: BEST Irish breakfast I’ve ever had! The beans were delicious and creamy, and the hash brown and sausages were perfectly cooked, tasty and juicy. We also tried the soup of the day, which was absolutely amazing. The combination of fresh bread, butter, and soup was incredible. I really wish we had a place like this in my city, I’ll definitely be back soon!

15/03/2026: I phoned in advance to ask whether they had coeliac-friendly options and was told they did. I ordered the gluten-free hamburger. What was served was just the hamburger patty with a few small pieces of bacon — there was no gluten-free bun, sauce, or cheese. Without those, the patty was too rich and dry for me to eat. My husband ordered the same burger but not the gluten-free version, and his came with a brioche bun, sauce, and cheese. As a result, my lunch ended up being shredded lettuce, two slices of tomato, a few small pieces of bacon and fries. Unfortunately, this made for a very disappointing Mother’s Day lunch.

17/09/2025: Lovely breakfast here, food is top notch. Seating can be hard to find when it's busy. Nice children's play area by the toilets. Facilities are very clean and staff is are nice

01/06/2026: Friendly atmosphere ,live music , outdoor seating area .

03/02/2026: Fine bar but looking a bit jaded in places Could do with a revamp of simple stuff really - good music at the weekend - some great acts local and national

06/10/2025: We had a BBQ for our wedding day 2 at the Alley Garden in August and our 75 guests were delighted. Super friendly staff and lovely beer garden to enjoy some fresh air, great for live music too (we had some trad going on). Food was simple yet tasty and buffet style was efficient. We had brought in some of our wedding decoration and it made the place really cosy. Thanks Keith & team for the service!

24/07/2025: Really cool local spot, relaxing sofas and a nice outdoor area

12/01/2026: I love it the absolute bizzo, I love the food. The atmosphere, its brilliant,

10/01/2026: I work in the center and 9 times out of 10 get my lunch here! The food is top quality and always super consistent, the staff are lovely too! Emily in particular is always so kind and polite to every customer, and she is super efficient too! Give that girl a raise!! Great burritos and staff 10/10 would recommended

04/07/2026: Sunday buffet is good. Otherwise the portions are too small. Staff are good but owner is not courteous. Quality of food is just so so.

23/05/2026: Lovely food and great service. Generous portion size. Feel very well fed after eating there ☺️

09/04/2026: Fantastic food at very reasonable prices with great friendly service. We stopped for a quick lunch while passing through and spotted this place and are so glad we did 🙂

03/02/2026: Great food and super quick service, everything came out fast and tasted amazing. Definitely a solid spot if you’re craving Asian street food. Just a heads up that dine-in seating is very limited, and the chairs can be uncomfortable if you have wider hips, so it may be better suited for takeaway or a quick stop. Drink options are also very limited. Overall, the food and speed make it worth it Pictured is the Sweet and Sour Chicken with fried noodles

02/07/2026: Good vibes Beautiful view Delicious food

17/06/2026: The seafood platter was delicious, except for the half crab, which was really disappointing for a seaside restaurant. Having eaten it regularly in Brittany, I don't think it was cooked on-site. The pizza was very good, however, as was the swordfish. The atmosphere was family-friendly, with a singer on Sunday evenings, and the terraces shared by the restaurants are all close together.

28/03/2026: A great bar and restaurant. Our family just spent a couple of evenings in The Townhouse and we were so well looked after. Really lovely food and reasonably priced. We will be back again!

16/03/2026: Pit stop at schull and had the best fish n chips here. Lovely staff and local people filled the restaurant. Thanks

03/05/2026: Food was really nice, nothing was forgotten about and the service was excellent. Would definitely go back again.

20/04/2026: Nice spot for food. Loved the desert
