The best restaurantsof irish in Cork

02/08/2026: Beautiful homemade scones and treats. Very friendly staff and reasonable prices! Would recommend!

01/08/2026: v good, excellent service and great staff

02/06/2026: Lovely shop and lovely people. Coffee is fab and really good value

07/04/2026: I've always had great fondness for this shop and I hope the future is bright for it. Having said that, every time I go in lately there's been less and less on sale. No soup of the day, no wines to browse, none of a particular high-end frozen pizza that I became a fan of - and today evidently no ice-cream for sale at all! So I report with sadness that I often come away empty-handed of late.

04/09/2026: Our group stopped here on the way out to Allihies. The information on Google for opening hours was incorrect. We rang them up to see if we could just get takeaway sandwiches as the actual closing time was fast approaching. The gluten free option was WAY OVERPRICED for what it was and the attitude of the owner was disappointing. She was snappy when I went back in to voice my disappointment. I was told the gluten free bread cost €X amount so that’s it. She turned away and continued serving people. I respectfully pointed out again my disappointment, she dismissed me! She’s rude and doesn’t know how to deal with the public. Not sure how long your business will last with high prices and stinking attitude. Best of luck!

03/09/2026: This place has online plaudits and I would agree that the toasties are tasty. It's not budget at close to €70 for five people but there was plenty of filling, with the cheese oozing. The drink selection is artisanal with craft pops. So inevitably pricey. There was a deli and wine shop on site but we did not sample.

26/10/2025: Have been there a couple times recently for family events great selection of Malaysian and Asian dishes as well as steaks and seafood service and atmosphere are excellent

12/09/2025: Nice place, handy location, decent breakfast served by very welcoming, friendly and informative staff 👍👍👍

15/08/2026: Absolutely loved our experience at Thomas Browns Restaurant. The food was excellent — everything was fresh, full of flavour, and really tasty. The staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and efficient. The service was very fast, and everyone was easy to talk to and happy to help. We felt very well looked after throughout our visit. Overall, a fantastic experience with great food, excellent service, and a lovely atmosphere. We would definitely come back and highly recommend it!

14/08/2026: Always pop in with my small kids. Staff are very welcoming and happy to accommodate us. Highly recommend.

15/08/2026: We had a very good meal there. The French waiter was very friendly. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area.

21/07/2026: We had lovely food there on Sunday reasonable priced.

06/07/2026: Very reasonable prices, really good yummy homemade food. Loved all the desserts and I loved that the Tuscan orange cake came with yogurt. I think that’s a must have. Great selection of taste things. Everything was perfectly cooked and came fairly quickly. Perfectly Runny eggs. Great scrambled too.

06/07/2026: Pretty spot by the river. Pleasant server, food came quick. My only complaint was the food is quite overpriced for what you are getting.

03/05/2026: Food was really nice, nothing was forgotten about and the service was excellent. Would definitely go back again.

20/04/2026: Nice spot for food. Loved the desert

20/08/2026: Top notch fish and chips, fresh fish, crispy batter and the chips were excellent. My only gripe - no mushy peas on the menu! But that doesn’t detract, an excellent experience.

06/08/2026: Avoid walking in that door folks. €39 for chipper food for two people — soft drinks not included in that. I didn’t pay for it; but if I had known what my partner was going to be paying for it I would have taken the card out of her hand and walked out. This place has definitely lost the run of itself with greed. €5.00 for a small chips. €6.50 for a portion of onion rings. At €39 for two people without drinks these are restaurant prices, and there are plenty of actual restaurants in the area. There are also other chippers in the area if you actually do want that kind of food for half the price.

26/08/2026: Very authentic local pub with great food and service. Locals all Very friendly

23/08/2026: Service was slow I would put it at a 4/5 for staff being polite and helpful Food was on average 4/10 Atmosphere is all right I had a meal in the SIBIN on the 2nd week of June 2025 with 80 other people I would come again - in future Thanks

09/08/2026: Not a bad place, maybe a bit pricey and the staff members could be a bit nicer.

09/08/2026: Good place for coffee, although iced americano was to weak to my taste.

10/08/2026: came here as a group of five on Sunday, was appalled at how unengaged and downright annoyed the staff were with us from the get go. as someone who worked in the service industry before i know what its like to dislike your job and all that jazz that comes with being a waitress, so it was even more shocking to see how almost all of the girls were treating us. the food was subpar, fine at best. there are a lot of wasps around if you're sitting outside, so just be mindful of that.

03/08/2026: Excellent value, excellent service.
