    Had a lovely dinner our first night in Cork. Restaurant has about 8 tables so a nice intimate feel. Waitstaff was very sweet. Fun menu with some cool choices; started with Dumplings (pirogies) and pate which were delicious, then had a burger and duck. Got sticky toffee pudding for dessert (had it take away). The dessert choices were almost as many as the food menu. Good wine and beer list. A very fun place tucked away off the main walk way.

    Amazing food, I feel really happy when I eat there. It's the best ever, I took my friends and brothers there and they really enjoyed my choice. They have the best tulips in my opinion😅🥰.

    Met a few friends before the Christmas Season. I'm glad I organised this and made this booking. From the person who checked us in to the restaurant, I felt well looked after. Portions were huge and there was no shortage of food on offer. The restaurant is cozy, but spaced out well. I thoroughly enjoyed the entire experience. Thanks for a lovely evening one and all

    The best pasta I have had in years, and my favorite Caesar salad to date! Would definitely return. The desserts are fabulous!

    Accidentally bumped into this restaurant and just had one of the best seafood chowders in my life, the ingredients are so fresh, the coup creamy but not thick. The catch of the day was also done beautifully and deliciously, what a nice surprise. Unfortunately I'm pretty full otherwise I would love to try their cakes, looks so tempting! I had mostly Irish today but they do serve multinational food like Spanish, French, Italian and their staple Polish. And their menu is very reasonably priced. The servers are super friendly and helpful as well. Highly recommended!

    First time eating in Cork & Fork. What a beautiful restaurant. The service was perfect with friendly staff. The food was amazing, portion sizes were plenty, you wouldn't leave there hungry. I got the chefs special burger. Wow is all I can say, I couldn't finish it, the chips were delicious & presentation was nice, I took half of my burger home with me, I'm looking forward to my lunch today 😋. My wife got the stake sandwich & she was very impressed, our baby son tried a chip for the first time & he loved enjoyed it, he loved Cork & Forks brown bread so I ordered a loaf for him, I must collect it today. Overall we had an amazing dinner at Cork & Fork, I would highly recommend this restaurant & we will be definitely eating there again.

    Good place with reasonable price, it taste great and make you full for the day. Pasta Carbonara, in my opinion best in cork. Pierogi (meat dumplings) portion is great, I could never finish it. So I always have left over to take home. Pay once eat for two days.

    We got the chorizo pasta and the carbonara which we both really enjoyed. They were about €16.50 each which is reasonable. Pity there’s no cocktails or other alcohol besides beer or wine

  • 5/5 Paul O. 5 months ago on Google
    One of the nicest meals I’ve ever had. Got dumplings, duck and steak sandwich and the flavour of both was outstanding. Really generous portions.

  • 1/5 Eoin O. 4 months ago on Google
    Very cute premises. Unfortunately the positives end there. Service was inattentive, and slow. We waited twenty minutes for a coke & a tea, and waited nearly 30 minutes for food, which is forgivable, when the food is good - however, this was not the case :( Chicken in both our dishes was hard, dry, and bland. The “chicken sandwich” featured a quarter of a centimetre of chicken (pictured below) The Enchilada should be removed from the menu. I’ve had better from the ready meals fridge in Tesco. Nobody checked with us about the quality of the food, even when 85% went back to the kitchen uneaten. All in all, a very poor experience. Particularly as young people in the city who do not often get the chance to eat out, it was upsetting to spend 40 quid on a lunch and be so disappointed. Would not return or recommend.

    The food was good, with plenty of options to choose from on the menu, to please every taste. Portion sizes were also very generous. Service could have been better though.

  • 5/5 Anne G. 4 months ago on Google
    Fantastic burgers to satisfy our craving after half a day Christmas shopping in Cork city centre. Easy to walk to off Patrick street end of Maylor St near the bus office. Great service and I must say I ate the complete meal.

  • 5/5 Patrycjq K. 6 months ago on Google
    The best restaurant in all of Cork! It attracts not only with delicious food but also with wonderful service that knows how to take care of customers. We have been there many times and always left full and satisfied, but we are very demanding. With a clear conscience, I can recommend them to anyone because they do wonders on the plate. 🥰🥰🥰

    I would've given 5 stars for everything only there was no high chair for our baby. They were all taken. Also there was little space there. The food was absolutely beautiful. Best food iv had in years. Honestly uou wouldn't get that food in restaurants and hotels.

  • 5/5 Violeta K. 10 months ago on Google
    Amazing food. Working in the industry I notice every little thing, not even intended. But this was such a cute little gem. This restaurant is so relaxed, simple, but food is unbelievable. Really good, we enjoyed everything from start to finish, service just right, not ignoring you, but still not all over you. Combined with a beautiful sunny evening, absolutely great. 💯

  • 5/5 Maddie 1 year ago on Google
    Food was good, but the menu has changed, I remember it more Polish, and now the whole vibe is a bit more fancy :D anyways, it was nice to see the restaurant grow and give the customers what they want. I got grilled chicken and fries, and my mom got pierogi which she's obsessed with :)

    We celebrate our daughter 21st birthday here today. Nice girls on the entrance. Not long waiting time. Cosy atmosphere. Food is delicious, little man was happy with his kids meal.We are happy too 8/9/9 for food,it's not mean that is not tasty, it's means that all of us have different taste preference . Could be more options for vegetarians/vegans. Thank you to all staff,shefs. Will be back again definitely.

    Very nice experience. Left to enjoy your meal in peace and if wanted anything the staff were very attentive. We had soup and dumplings to start then chicken parmigiano and chefs special burger for mains all really nice. We were too full for desert so got cheesecake to take away Snickers one was best pick. I had 3 glasses of French Cabernet Sav was really nice. Full bill came to 80Euro which was very reasonable. Can't wait to go back and try more dishes. Yum

    Amazing gem of a restaurant! Was recommended by a local and did not disappoint. Had the chicken skillet, chicken Parmesan and the Bolognese with strawberry mango cheesecake for desert. Everything was fabulous and highly recommend it all. Fresh ingredients cooked perfectly. Would definitely return.

    Best burger I had in Cork. Very tasty and delicious! Soup of the day was also very good! Definitely again next time I visit Cork.

  • 4/5 Kate F. 1 year ago on Google
    We enjoyed a lovely meal at Cork & Fork. Dishes were reasonably priced, and everything tasted great. My only complaint would be that the service was quite slow - it took about 15/20 minutes to get drinks and water for the table, and and other 20 minutes before we saw our starters. Thankfully we weren't in a rush.

  • 5/5 kanika s. 2 years ago on Google
    Lovely little place in a quiet alley in Cork city center. They have awesome Eastern European options as « dishes of the day » I tried the hot dog (cheap and delicious to have on the go), the chicken wings and the burger. All of it was excellent and service was really nice as well. It was easy to find a spot outside on a weekday. You’ll probably need a booking if you’re going on the weekend !

  • 5/5 Przemek K. 2 years ago on Google
    Chowder was very good, the steak sandwich that's in the picture was pretty good too. Staff is nice and friendly, and prices are reasonable for the location. Overall a good experience.

  • 5/5 Slobodan S. 2 years ago on Google
    Brilliant small restorant with great food and really big portions. Deserts are absolutely HUGE so make sure to leave some space. Staff is very friendly and want to accommodate any need. Would definitely come back.

👍 Crazy good prices on food and beverages. You sacrifice attentive service, but everyone I talked to there was pleasant and helpful. The food was good and there were actually a number of beers that I have not seen elsewhere in the Cork area. I would not say this is a must do if visiting from abroad, b...
