The best restaurants in Cork

04/10/2025: The "special" sandwiches are a bit expensive for what they are. Other local coffee shops offer better value.

15/08/2025: Experience here was horrible. The blonde manager was awful rude and dismissive to myself and my boyfriend when we came for breakfast last week. On our arrival she ignored us completely and upon finally taking our order, she made us feel like a nuisance creating such an unpleasant and unwelcoming atmosphere. We sat at the far end of the cafe and even so we could hear her publicly shouting and shaming a poor young staff member. Service aside I wouldn’t recommend the food either. My boyfriend got a toastie which was only okay. I got the tuna melt shambo and spent the remaining week suffering from food poisoning. Overall completely unpleasant experience from service to food. Completely unprofessional, negligent and inconsiderate attitude of staff. Considering how they treated a customer, I can’t imagine their attitude towards their own staff, food quality and hygiene. 0/10.

03/01/2026: The food was pathetic and it was substandard not worth the money. Trust me on this I never put negative comments on business unless it’s a health hazard. We asked for some customization and they acknowledged it and later delivered food which wasn’t meeting the standards. We ordered chicken fried rice and we got white rice with just peas. And egg fried rice was just white rice. Super pathetic and unhealthy.

13/09/2025: By far the worst takeaway I've ever had. The fact they barely open the kitchen door to pass the food out should have been a giveaway. Instant food poisoning 😷

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!

01/11/2025: Good value for money with the Munchie box coming out to €24 with 2 cans of coke Over all very nice, chicken strips and wings were a lil bit bland but everything else was very nice, giant tub of hot curry sauce to help it all go down. If you have a case of the munchies I recommend this 👍

10/01/2026: Omg ate there last night It might as well have been an onion curry than chicken, and don’t get me started on the beef my wife had It was like chewed up cheap beef Never again stay away from the palatine coke it flat 😡

11/10/2025: Food was spoiled, chicken was rotten and smelling so bad and when I asked about it, they started passing comments in their language. Customer service is the worst, would not recommend

21/11/2024: Never coming here again. Ordered coffee and plain croissant and was told it would cost 7.80 euros! Croissant didn't even look fresh so I just had the coffee. When I mentioned it was expensive I was told it's because of the VAT. I've never paid that amount anywhere else in Midleton. Avoid at all costs!!!!

17/11/2024: Crazy expensive for very bland food.
