The best restaurantsof otras cocinas internacionales in Cork

23/12/2025: Luxurious food in a cool chilled environment. Pricey but worth it.

22/12/2025: Had 3 counter chairs (and at least two other tables free no reservation signs visible, but they could have been booked) and refused service for 1 person stating "they needed the counter tables to seat people while they wait". Not very welcoming at all! Only offered a table in an hour and 15 minutes but only after I asked the second time could I not take a counter seat.

29/12/2025: Food was lovely. I had the eggs Benedict. Service was excellent. Staff is lovely in there. Upstairs atmosphere not great but it might just have been the time of day.

13/12/2025: We attended to Bookshelf last night for our staff Christmas party and I could not compliment it enough! From my initial enquiry to paying the bill last night Paul and his team were brilliant, they were extremely accommodating, efficient and the food was sensational. It’s great to see the food scene in Cork thriving and the bookshelf have always been brilliant at what they do and last night was no different. This venue was perfect for a private hire for and definitely a hidden gem.
