The best restaurants in Cork

16/01/2026: Food is very nice and its done very quickly. Its not a seat in restaurant so there is no real atmosphere, lady taking and giving the orders is very nice. 5/5

14/12/2025: Amazing food & service every time. Delivery is always on time with a nice friendly smile.

16/11/2025: Great coffee in a picturesque setting Very friendly staff Dog friendly Plenty of parking

24/10/2025: This little gem is worth walking an extra 5 minutes from the main square. Visited first with a local and returned with my husband, who is very picky about his mochas. Lucky for us, Orla—the most gracious and wonderful barista—was there for both visits. In addition to her friendly demeanor, Orla serves up delicious coffee. Though the delights of Grounded Coffee are served from a cute little food truck, they offer plenty of seating… even a cozy, inside area with heat and comfortable seating. And there are great views too. Can’t wait to return!

16/09/2025: Medium Empire State is top class. They are not shy with toppings. Pricey enough. There's only a small seated area.

14/06/2025: Excellent experience at Carrigaline

10/03/2026: Only one Wimpy restaurant in all Ireland what a great country

28/09/2025: Chowder was local and served with a smile. Great portions too

05/09/2025: A lovely place to eat traditional Irish coastal dishes, with a very relaxed atmosphere and friendly service. We tried the seafood soup and fish and chips with fresh fish.

23/02/2026: Mick Finn’s in Clonakilty was absolutely fantastic for our hen party on 14th February 2026. From start to finish, the staff looked after us so well. We had two activities there, and the team were so welcoming, and helpful throughout. Nothing was too much trouble, and they really helped create a fun, relaxed atmosphere for the group. They even threw some ABBA on for us to have a dance. 10/10!! Their friendliness made such a difference and helped make the day extra special. A huge thank you to everyone at Mick Finn’s for your kindness, professionalism, and for helping us make such lovely memories. We had a brilliant time and would highly recommend Mick Finn’s for any group celebration or even to pop in for a drink - the staff are brilliant and up for the craic!

31/01/2026: Best pub in town, feels like home, lovely staff and musicians

29/12/2025: Lovely spot for a pint, very tasty sandwiches and if you’re lucky enough on the day to have the beef goulash soup, it will warm the cockles of your heart. Top marks to all in Lombards.
