The best restaurants in Cork

28/09/2026: Lovely spot with great food and friendly service.

18/09/2026: Love this spot. Decent grub and great service

21/08/2026: Three of us had the tasting menu last night and the experience was fabulous from start to finish. As each of the courses was presented one of the chefs came out to describe them in detail. For me the trout starter was to die for, my daughters chicken dish was her favourite, while my wife thought the fish dish of turbot was delicious. I also went with the signature wines which were all beautifully selected to go with each course. While not a cheap night out, well worth the experience.

20/08/2026: A truly amazing dining experience.

19/09/2026: We had a fantastic stay in An Sugan... We were in Clonakilty for work and our room was spacious, clean, and comfortable... Food and service was also excellent... We tried the salmon and the chowder and both were lovely. Breakfast was also amazing... Staff were extremely pleasant and helpful... Our car actually broke down and they helped get us in touch with a local mechanic 👍 would certainly recommend....

17/09/2026: Great service, the food was lovely. I ordered the burger but I am dairy free and they didn't have a dairy free bun.

08/06/2026: Lovely little place in the centre of Kinsale. Brilliant sirloin, excellent scallops (with the surf and turf), nice wine selection by glass or bottle, fabulous frites, and the service is op-notch. Recommended, especially as a special occasion dinner.

26/05/2026: Great small restaurant. No reservation, but very accommodating for the two of us. Steaks were great, desert a serious - WOW! Very pleasant waitstaff. Busy so we waited - but we like busy, we know it’s good!

26/09/2026: Amazing restaurant/bar with great food and beautiful ocean views! High recommend 👌

14/09/2026: 11/10! It has been our go to place for Asian fusion food in Cork, and their hospitality today blew my mind away. I was travelling with a group of seniors with very specific dietary requirements. The chef and staff were more than accommodating, and made customised versions of their dishes. Thank you so much!

15/08/2026: The food here is absolutely delicious!

28/07/2026: We had pre ordered as a group booking. The food was delicious freshly made and cooked. The staff were lovely and friendly. We will definitely be back if we are passing that way again

07/07/2026: Food stops at 8.30 pm so made it and was glad , good choice , lovely food , well taken care of, everyone was happy . Will go again

28/06/2026: Large portions, lovely decor in the main restaurant and great servers who were extremely helpful and friendly. Highly recommend ☺️

01/10/2026: I've been coming to this place for years. Never written a google review before, but this deserves all the positive reviews it can get. I have had pizza in many places & this is hands down the best. The fresh toppings, base and wood fired style is really special. The staff are always so polite, kind and welcoming. Even when they are busy, (which they often are) you are met with a smile. Postives: The food is elite in every category. The pizzas are the best you will get, the loaded chips are all excellent along with the chicken sides (bbq wings & tenders w garlic mayo). The cookies are some of the best you will have. Outrageously good for a "pizza" place. The prices are surprisingly good for a place with this level of quality. A standard pizza here is €12-€14. If you were to go to a chain pizza place, it is closer to €18 euro with far less quality and taste. This is freshly made & you can feel it. After the food you arent full of regret and feeling ill which can be the case with many lower quality places. Negatives: Due to them being so busy, it can be hard to get through sometimes, however when you schedule a time for collection, it is ready to go. Occassionally the size of the chicken tenders is inconsistent. One day you get 3 big lovely tenders, sometimes you can get smaller ones which are not as good. Worth a visit? I think so.

29/09/2026: Freshly and lovingly prepared pizza. A truly lovely team. Everyone does their job with dedication.

14/10/2026: Was served quietly. Food was tasty and good value. Plenty of parking outside.

02/10/2026: Very friendly owner and staff. Beautiful food and lovely surroundings.

25/08/2026: Lovely cuppa, always super friendly atmosphere and fast service

28/07/2026: Fantastic matcha latte. The cookie dough brownies are gorgeous too. Staff are very friendly.

14/10/2026: Delicious food! I ordered a goat's cheese foccacia and a tropical smoothie, and my brother got a Tricolour salad and a Capri Sun. We paid slightly more than 15 euro for each of our dishes, 5 for the smoothie and 1.75 for the Capri sun. The goat's cheese was very strong - I enjoyed it a lot! We got served in about 20 minutes from ordering, which is quite good for a lunch rush order. It wasn't very busy, but there were a decent number of other people eating there as well.

05/08/2026: Really enjoyed a recent visit to Cracked for coffee and dessert. The atmosphere was lively in this busy Bandon Bistro, the service was superb and I loved the presentation of my dessert , amazing attention to detail and it tasted delicious too ! Highly recommend !

13/08/2026: Lovely staff, lovely sandwiches.

08/08/2026: Quirky little cafe/store. Truly delicious sandwiches. Just eaten goats cheese/fresh pesto ciabatta and cheese/tapanade. The BEST tapanade I have ever tasted. Y. U. M ❤️

06/08/2026: Such an amazing food, I had beef hamburger with fried onions and fries. The best beef Ive ever had without a doubt. My girlfriend had the steak baggett which wad amazing aswell. It was 44e for 2 person

24/07/2026: Excellent Italian restaurant in the heart of County Cork, from pasta to wood-fired grilled chicken fillet, not to mention the delectable Chocolate Fudge Cake – absolutely divine. And on top of that, the waitress was charming and efficient. A must-try if you're ever in Midleton!

04/09/2026: Small and so somewhat cramped. Very busy at this time of year but servers were lovely and friendly and tried to serve everyone as quickly as they could. Food was very tasty, atmosphere cosy and best of all for us , inside and out it is VERY dog-friendly, even with two big dogs in a small space. Servers gave them treats and some love too ❤️ Kinsale is a bit of a nightmare for driving and finding parking in season, but once you’re lucky enough to find a spot, the core is very compact and walkable and Leona’s is well positioned. Would recommend 👍

23/08/2026: Nice sandwiches. Friendly staff. Wheelchair accessible dining area but not bathroom.

12/09/2026: We ordered food to takeaway from O'Neills and couldn't be more complimentary about the whole experience. The food was delicious, with all ingredients freshly cooked and the service was excellent. Highly recommended!

08/09/2026: Excellent place, great food, very well maintained and extremely pleasant people.
