The best restaurantsof otras cocinas internacionales in Cork

15/07/2026: average quality products. poor price-quality ratio How can you expect good food when the chef walks around in an old undershirt and reeks like an ashtray from smoking outside? The only good thing they have is the steaks—it’s hard to mess those up; the product speaks for itself—but the scallops are frozen, and you can really taste it. The Irish will buy and eat anything.

12/06/2026: A quick stop at this Cork restaurant, where we decided to share an Irish ribeye steak. The service was okay, though sometimes slow. The meat was only offered medium-rare, which is a shame considering a ribeye can be served beautifully rare, but it seems the chef, apparently French, doesn't know how to do it (or even write "beef" on the menu). Fortunately, the meat and sides were still good, but overcooked for our taste.

30/07/2026: I always come to Bookshelf for the scones—they’re my favourite in Cork, and I’ve always had a great experience here. However, yesterday I noticed a very unpleasant smell coming from the kitchen. It was quite strong and made me feel uncomfortable. I’ve never had an experience like this here before, so I hope it was just a one-off and that it can be looked into, as it’s a place I genuinely enjoy visiting.

25/07/2026: Delicious! I had the more traditional gluten-free grilled-Irish breakfast: GF toast, fried eggs, grilled tomatoes & mushrooms, and bacon (no pudding or sausage due to gluten). I also got the GF coconut and lime cake and a cappuccino: everything was all so good and no gluten-symptoms (I am a celiac, so more serious than preference, no reactions at all)! Thank you, Bookshelf, for taking the gluten-free cross-contamination seriously! Will definitely be returning!

01/06/2026: A bit dated, but we were only there to sleep. The staff were always incredibly friendly, but the food in the restaurant was very mysterious, and the staff seemed overwhelmed and helpless for many people. Breakfast had everything you could need. Would gladly stay again.

31/05/2026: I cannot speak more highly of Vijay. He was so obliging with caring for our athletes staying in the the hotel. Supplied us with ice with no issue. We arrived back late & we were never felt unwelcome he was a very good host. He was managing the bar on his own & we were never made to feel nuisance.
