The best restaurants in Cork

03/03/2026: Great cafe Excellent food and coffee

23/01/2026: I love coming here every time I visit Fermoy. My favourites would be the sweet and sour chicken. You cannot go wrong, everything is yummy.

31/12/2025: Latest Edit: Gave it another go just now, the sweet and sour chicken was so watered down! The 'sauce' was so watery! The chicken pieces were soggy since they could just absorb so much from the 'sauce' .. it seriously tasted like dishwater and the soggy chicken was stringy :/ talk about a nose dive in quality Edit: Over the last year or so, the dishes seem to be a bit watered down. My most recent order involved getting a call from their delivery driver telling me the €5 delivery charge should be €7.50 because I was living 200meters past his personal cutoff point for €5. For a €75 order, it's a bit nit picking and bad form. They should contact their online ordering site on this if it's that much of an issue for them and their driver. Cancelled my order and will go elsewhere from now on.

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

02/12/2025: We took some takeaway from here a year ago. Since then, every time when we think “If you could have anything to eat, what would it be?” 10/10 times it’d be the chicken tenders from this place. Thank you for changing our life 🙏🏼

27/09/2025: Quick bite on walk back to accommodation. While waiting for my food, spotted some of the food that was coming out of the kitchen, looks top and tasty. One of the nicest fish and chips I've had in a long time. Nice meaty bit of fish in a light crispy batter. Chips skin on and crispy with tartar sauce. Polished away!

24/08/2025: First pub where you'll order your food next door!!!! Good fish and chips!!

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

15/09/2025: Excellent local pub, great atmosphere

22/07/2025: Nice friendly bar just off the main street in midleton. Nice atmosphere and friendly staff. Music every weekend.

28/07/2025: A pleasure as always,,,the staff are just a joy,,,,,love love love it.

02/04/2026: We visited the restaurant during our vacation and asked for a table without a reservation, which initially seemed to be no problem. The food was very tasty, but the portions were very small for the price. Side dishes had to be paid for separately. Afterwards, we ordered dessert and cappuccino. We had barely finished eating when we were asked to pay and leave, as the table was immediately being given to other guests. Double bookings are something we understand and are fine with. However, being asked to leave so quickly without any prior notice was unprecedented. I cannot recommend this restaurant if you are looking for a pleasant evening in a nice atmosphere.

21/03/2026: Very expensive for a míni dish of food and a bottle of wine. Poor service and poor food as well. Kind staff is the only thing what i can say about the place.

04/08/2025: Great lunch, really helpful staff and dog friendly 👍 (Gluten free options)

13/07/2025: A typical Irish pub, serving both beer and food. Closed on Tuesdays. They have a good selection of beers. If you don't specify, they'll give you a Heineken. There's a bit of a wait for the food, but the soup of the day is excellent, though I didn't take a photo.

18/09/2025: Great pub, Bernard is a great owner who enjoys the craic and music. Had a couple of great night's in the pub in the beautiful village of glengarriff.

04/09/2025: Feel a bit wrong reviewing as we rushed through, but it appeared as if it had Beamish!! Signs for Beamish, Murphys and Guinness, so your 3 major Irish stouts. Was a biker group and whole town was packed so we didnt get a chance to stop. Charming little town though! 2:30pm on a Sunday, August 24 2025.

12/01/2026: thank you to the tall blonde-ish woman who was working there saturday lunchtime for helping us get home via the concierge! you are an angel! also the warm breads and salads were delicious, and the other staff working that day were super kind and attentive 💛

12/11/2025: Excellent meal at the hotel. Lovely setting, good choice of options for all and excellent service. In particular, José was our server who was so nice; he gave great recommendations and excellent service all evening. Would highly recommend!

06/09/2025: Great little pub on a building corner facing the Cobh port. Nice place to rest and have a little libation before continuing your day!

16/08/2025: We stopped in this port and found wonderful Irish hospitality and ice cold beer at this wonderful bar.. Highly recommend stopping in for a cold one! Great outdoor space surrounding the bar as well with the view of the water.

22/03/2026: Grazzi Grazzi Grazzi Grazzi mile mile mile. This pizza slaps harder than my mamas chinelas 😂😂 charred base, soft but not so soft it flops. Not thick either. Unreal topping filling covered getting filling every bite. 🔥🔥🔥🔥 within a shout for top 5 pizzas. Truly it was sooo worth what I paid and my friend from phillipines get her very first ever fish and chips and loved it. Chips are soooo goood. Crispy, seasoned perfectly, real chips.. this hit all the spots.. seating around the back of the bar.. sooo coming back again. Perfect bookend to a brilliant day out. Again top compliment to the Chef. Also Ps the bottle of soft drinks you get aren’t the baby bottles.. they’re the proper 330 mil bottles. Nice touch 👌

19/03/2026: Stopped for pizza and coffee yum
