The best restaurants in Cork

10/04/2026: Everything is homemade, and the atmosphere is family-friendly. The fish soup is delicious, with pollock and haddock as the main ingredients, seasoned with lemon zest. The crab gratin is equally good. The service is efficient and attentive. We'll be back...

18/02/2026: Excellent bar restaurant for dinner, went there recently for a Valentine's dinner and it was fantastic. Delicious fresh food, friendly staff in particular Lucy who was our waitress and great variety on the menu. Really lovely spot, definitely recommend.

28/12/2025: These pizzas are seriously good. It’s real pizza dough, not that cardboard stuff. The flavours are delicious, I can highly recommend them.

03/12/2025: My complaint is about the owner. Leaving only one girl working on a busy day is absurd!!! Nobody should do this to a staff. It’s ridiculous.

10/11/2025: Great spots loved the chips and burger

31/10/2025: This place has gone to the dogs. Used to enjoy the fish. Then they stopped selling fish. OK, I'll get a beef burger. That was tragically bad. Dry like it had been sitting in a hot box all night. Then went on to the chicken. I've had the "Breast in a bun" 5 times now. 2 times out of the 5 it was nice. That's terrible odds with the prices they charge. It's just gone really, really downhill.

12/12/2025: Fantastic restaurant ,playgrounds and walks for families,learn about the animals,walk to find the fairies on the fairytale,fabulous out of this world preschool facilities.

14/09/2025: I was surprised to see such setting in the middle of nowhere but busy. Seems to me that the families and kids enjoying the atmosphere. Only one criticism not negative but positive although there are forks available but would be best to place it either at the table or bring it with cake when serving the birthday cake. My children waited politely but other kids just used their hands. Also some napkins needs to be place on the table not at the entrance. Hope they will listen.

02/03/2026: Tourists who don’t have apache back home. Bit dubious due to reviews but ordered for delivery. Pizza was very good - similar to dominos amd arrived quickly and hot.

22/01/2026: The food is awesome. Highly recommend.

08/11/2025: I have been going to his restuaunt takeaway fir the last 6 months and the food the service has been nothing sort outstanding. This is just the best Chinese around the whole of mallow kanturk abd the surrounding area. Had a beef curry tonight with fried rice and spare barbecue ribs, oh my word the best and I mean the vest beef curry I have ever had even in the UK. Family run lovely people give ut a try

21/09/2025: Food is unreal highly recommend 🤙🤙🤙

11/09/2025: Wouldn't let me in because I was standing around the corner. Terrible establishment.

24/07/2025: Great bar and event venue. Fantastic staff and owner. Last of the great pubs.

15/03/2026: Good value for money. I mainly go for the pizzas. The waitress was very friendly and attentive.

15/03/2026: I loved the food, it's very good. I ordered both the Asian food and the pizza menu 🦋. The waitress was super friendly, excellent atmosphere, I highly recommend it.

20/08/2025: I had a coffee, and saw what was called a Portuguese custard tart....pastel de nata.. which I must say was horrible. It was dry, no lemon zest taste and absolutely no cinnamon won't be back

10/08/2025: Overall it's a nice cafe with good potential and very comfortable seating options. The cappuccino was good and the overall atmosphere was nice. My biggest criticism is the place was freezing cold as they leave the door open even on cold mornings which is ridiculous. The place looked good in terms of cleanliness except some of the tables needed a deeper clean. Staff were friendly and professional enough. Would I return?......yes, if they closed the door and turned on the heating.

16/11/2025: Was very disappointed with my experience here. Ordered 2 hot chocolates received one and was waiting 10 minutes to be asked with an attitude “what am I waiting for” - explained I only received one of the two, after another 12 minutes of waiting (at this point I was keeping track) I had to ask was it on the way as I had to leave. I initially went in to grab a “quick” hot chocolate to go - I was informed that it was forgotten about AGAIN. Overall waited nearly 25 minutes for a hot chocolate. I wouldn’t return not simply because of the service but because of the attitude of the female working there.

12/12/2025: The lads are sound and reliable~ callum smith and the gang

27/10/2025: Best chip shop EVER LOVE LOCE LOVE LOVEEEEEEEE however do not like how they knew my order the second I walked in. Was kinda humbling so will have to take a break from coming here

10/03/2026: Very disappointed with our recent experience. During the last Bank Holiday we both got food poisoning after eating chicken from this place, not only me, but my fiancé as well. Since moving to Bandon we had been ordering from here regularly and always hoped for the best, but this incident was extremely worrying and unacceptable. Food safety should be a priority. Unfortunately after this experience we will definitely not be ordering from here again.

12/10/2025: Got a takeaway and the food was excellent...

13/11/2025: We waited a long time for the food and the owner was unfortunately unfriendly. It was also cold in the restaurant.

09/09/2025: I booked a table in advance for a birthday meal for my partner yesterday evening, neither of us had been there before, and we were both very impressed. Our host was friendly and attentive, and the food was delicious. I highly recommend the steak in sichuan sauce and the aromatic duck hotpot. Plenty of flavour, the veggies were fresh and the meat was tender, we'll definitely be back.

20/01/2026: Lovely carvery munch , good location

31/12/2025: We always stop here when travelling to Cork. A great place with brilliant staff.

22/01/2026: Great and popular Kinsale "local".

15/01/2026: Had a nice pint of Guinness here. Friendly staff and customers. They also have a small but nice outdoor seating area. Nice music, not too loud but still loud enough to create a good vibe. Beware of the rule of non-paying customers not being allowed to stay. It looks like even if you're a part of a paying group but aren't getting anything for yourself, you'd be asked to leave.
