The best restaurants in Cork

13/06/2026: Great food and excellent value for money. The restaurant is easy to find, and the overall dining experience was very enjoyable. Will definitely come back again!

26/05/2026: Food was awful , chicken was like rubber , very chewy and overcooked , curry sauce was like water with grease floating around inside it , after spending 20 euro it went straight into the bin a complete waste

05/07/2026: A pleasant atmosphere to meet with friends, and very tasty food.

23/05/2026: Lovely food and great service 👍

01/05/2026: Today was my second time at this place after a poor experience on my first visit with cold garlic/cheese chips, but today took the biscuit altogether order taco fries and 2 quater pounders that were stone cold, clearly cooked earlier in the day and reheated, this was my second and last time shocking experience

24/04/2026: Can we just take a moment to appreciate how vibrant this pilau rice is?! The whole meal was sensational and fresh! Honestly, they keep out doing themselves. Buttered chicken and tikka masala for the win ☀️💃 such a treat! The staff are the warmest people and they clearly take pride in what they serve. Please continue to be amazing.

14/05/2026: Very nice and fresh food. Good staff.

15/03/2026: Major downgrade in food quality since the management takeover. Lamb was like a rubber, I don't think anyone can chew through it. We used to love this place for curry dishes and biryani, now not even eatable. I woild like to ask the owner to chew through that lamb and then sell it to others. Waste of money!

15/05/2026: After failing at finding a chinese restaurant, we finally found a place that consistently make good food, super quick. We're on purpose driving almost 20min each way in order to get the food there.

23/02/2026: Was a customer here for the last 2 years. After this evening, no more. Recieved chicken skewers that were inedible and ended up in the bin. Rang the restaurant and the aggression on the phone was ridiculous. “No, No, No!!” When I explained about the chicken skewers. He said I will ring you back and hung up. No call so rang back and he said no refund for you I give you something next time and I said no I will take the refund as we paid for something we could not even eat and he hung up the phone. So so rude. Usually there is a lovely girl on the desk but tonight it was an angry aggressive man. STAY CLEAR!

13/07/2026: Terrible fried fish. Greasy, full of oil, I vomited all night. Beer was 7 euros, and they don't even have local beer. About 30 euros for terrible food and drink.

12/07/2026: Unfortunately the food was pretty bad, the service was terrible. I wouldn’t recommend this place at all.

30/06/2026: Cute little restaurant with delicious food. The staff was very friendly.

30/06/2026: The food was really good and the staff friendly.

01/06/2026: My first and last time in here on the way to Dublin. When I walked in I saw all tables covered with dirty plates, cups etc. When staff took it from my table after a while didn't even wipe off sticky dirts from the surface. It was disgusting sitting there. So irish.

13/03/2026: Stopped in for a quick tea and snack..friendly staff and good food

12/06/2026: Tasted delicious got food poisening doe

09/05/2026: Everything we ordered was very good in fairness!

10/06/2026: Delicious apple pie! Good price and good food!!

13/04/2026: A well and nice hall, near train station. We catched a voucher tip for cones and coffee and it taste lovely. Well friendly people, next time, sure again at this place..

02/05/2026: The shop itself is a nice place to be. But for turning up at opening time the food was shocking. I got the omelette and my fiancé got the scrambled eggs and both were microwaved (with stale potatoes to go with it). The services were understanding but I really would seriously advise not eating here.

02/05/2026: I am genuinely shocked and horrified. That was the worst meal I have ever eaten in my life. Every single component of the breakfast was terrible - it was comically poor. The beans were fizzing with vinegar - either that or they were out of date. The egg was powdered, microwaved and black. The potatoes were uncooked as was the ‘roasted’ tomato. Please, please avoid. The waitresses were lovely and the saving grace, but the chefs need a stern talking to

14/07/2026: Nice fast food spot. We got takeaway and the food was prepared well & quickly, and staff were professional & friendly.

11/07/2026: On today 10 July 2026 My children love the burgers from Mario's, and we come here every day or every two days. We are regular customers. This time, I ordered 6 burgers by phone and came to collect them. I also took 5 drinks and asked if the fries could be included as part of a meal deal. The female staff member agreed, but an older male staff member refused and charged the fries separately. What disappointed me was not the extra €1 itself, but the way the situation was handled. After the female employee had already agreed, he seemed to change the arrangement and insist on the higher charge. It felt unnecessary and unprofessional. A business should value loyal customers. We spend a significant amount of money here regularly because my children enjoy the food. Losing a loyal customer over €1 is disappointing. Unfortunately, after this experience, I do not plan to return.

30/05/2026: Best pizza, wraps, and burgers ever!! They're super fast.

25/05/2026: Fish was good. Stuff missed: lemon, a can of drink for the fish and chips box and more chicken in the spice box. Food is tasty.

06/07/2026: Very tasty food. Friendly people working here. We are visiting and decided to try it out and we were not disappointed.

27/06/2026: This place should be closed down by the health department. Terrible food and terrible service.

06/07/2026: Iv never had to write a review before but wow does this need to be shared. We stopped off for ice cream , the place didn’t look very clean but the icecream looked okay, I got my own cone , all was good until my partner , asked for a tub with x2 different types of icecream, as she was taking the tub to the counter she was pulling a hair out and wiping it on her trousers , and as she placed the tub down infront of me , she went in a second time taking a second hair , not alone should she have no gave it to me after the first occurrence, but a second time and was expecting me to pay ? I asked her for a new tub , and she charged me for both. We sat outside to eat our ice cream’s, and on return to put the rubbish in the bin , this young lady was sitting on the floor .. the hygiene is very very poor , one hair was bad but two was disgusting , and to try sell the icecream as she was pulling the first hair out and then a second hair to appear and still try and let me buy it .. if I didn’t ask for a new tub I wouldn’t have got it.

17/05/2026: Best burgers, every time. The price is sooo good ! They make each burger right in front of you, where you can see the Fresh Ingredients they use. ♡♡ And On a summer day You HAVE to get some ice cream they have a wide range !
