De Barra's Restaurant
Cork
03/02/2026: There are some vacancies. The hot chocolate and cappuccino are good quality. The espresso is bitter, perhaps over-roasted. Overall, it's a good place to relax and grab a bite. Prices are average for the area.
02/02/2026: We ordered four different sandwiches and they were all so delicious. The Chai Latte and Cappuccino were great too.
Suitable for vegetarians and vegans 😇

Marcello's
Cork
28/03/2026: Five stars isn't enough!!!
I'm Italian. I was passing through Cork and happened upon Marcello's.
I felt at home!!!
A true piece of Italy in Ireland.
Delicious pizza, welcoming place, relaxing atmosphere, even finding parking was easy.
The quality of the ingredients is truly excellent, and the pizza dough is exceptional!
The owner, Marcello, is a very kind person.
If you're looking for a traditional Italian pizza, you're definitely in the right place!!!
A word of Italian.
22/03/2026: Found this place on a Google search while looking for somewhere nearby to take my Italian partner for a meal. She places a high importance on high quality, fresh, homemade style Italian cooking. It's safe to say that Marcello's did not disappoint. From the extensive vegetarian/vegan options to the comfortable and friendly setting, they couldn't have done better. The cannelloni and ravioli were fantastic, the tomato soup was fantastic and flavourful and the tiramisu was some of the best we've ever had. Could not possibly recommend enough.

Deep South
Cork
07/04/2026: The atmosphere is typical of an Irish pub, welcoming and trendy.
I made a reservation, they were very thorough and even asked for the age of my guests.
On the scheduled day, the kitchen was closed and I had no food to serve my guests.
This is absurd, considering that when I made the reservation I said we only wanted to eat, drink and talk.
27/03/2026: They don’t put enough people on during busy times and it’s crazy to get a drink. Also smells

The Old Town Whiskey Bar at Bodega
Cork
04/05/2026: Great food and the staff were so friendly brilliant atmosphere there.
03/05/2026: I met friends for a drink sitting in smoking area off the bar. Everything went fine with bar service but towards the end of my visit some other people that were also sitting in same room were being obnoxious. Same thing could happen anywhere but left disappointed since I couldn't hear people talking over the yelling and outbursts.

Le Chateau
Cork
08/04/2026: Awful place. Refused my partner a pint because he wasnt completely finished the one in front of him. Was speaking to someone at another table and they refused him a whiskey because he had half a pint in front of him. Staff pick and choose who they serve and wound never reccomend this place to anyone. They know how to charge well and staff are horrible.
18/02/2026: Another nice pub in the area. Prices on par with surrounding pubs and London
Massive selection of beers and spirits.

Bishopstown Bar
Cork
19/04/2026: The food quality was terrible. We ordered roast turkey and roast bacon with broccoli, but the broccoli was yellow and not fresh. The worst part was the cauliflower vegetarian steak; the cauliflower was burnt. The steak was okay.
05/04/2026: Staff horrible. Food is vile would not waste my time here again steer clear of this place

23/07/2025: I got Lunch Sandwich Special here yesterday for a small party in my house
Sndwiches, wraps & rolls...different variety of each...all very fresh tasty...and all enjoyed by my guests!!!Most asked where I got them and had no problem passing on details...
Would highly recommend
09/07/2025: Staff are always lovely, food and coffee are great and very reasonably priced in comparison to other establishments in the Blackrock area. Really good selection of sandwiches, almost too good though, hard to make up your mind 🤣

Suttons Bar & Bistro
Cork
05/04/2026: Relaxing, good staff, food was delicious.
29/03/2026: I visited Sutton's with family for Sunday brunch. I reserved a table online which was reserved for us on arrival.
The staff gave us plenty of time to choose our dishes and there was plenty of choice from scones, the Full Irish, and breakfast baps. Tea and coffee is expensive on its own, but the Full Irish and "Sutton's Skillet" both include tea and coffee in the order so not an additional cost.
I ordered the Sutton's Full Irish. It consisted of rashers, white and black pudding, white toast and butter, potatoes, sausages, baked beans, and mushrooms. It was delicious, especially the rashers which were crispy but not too brittle and dry. The dish could have been warmer but the hot plate kept it warm for a long time.
A few things I would like to see on my next visit:
- Warmer food when served.
- A jug of water served without having to request it from staff.
- A choice of brown or white bread to serve alongside the dish.
The atmosphere was comfortable and we were left to enjoy our meal without the staff checking in on us. Table and chairs were large and the three of us did not feel cramped sitting next to each other.
I would recommend Sutton's bistro for brunch if you are in Cork for brunch.
