Best Lunch Restaurants in Cork

"We've seen lots of action happening at Dwyers - which already went to great lengths to cater for outdoor drinking and dining last summer. The team there have been very, very busy in recent days, putting in a purpose-built platform that will provide the base for seats and tables down one side of this big pub. There'll be a good menu, lots of space, room for walk-ins and thanks to that platform, no rickety tables!"

"Having opened up in the City back in 2018, Dwyers is a firm favourite of Corkonians for boozy brunch. Pick any dish from eggs benedict to their incredible pancake sharing platter and pair it with unlimited prosecco or mimosa for just €25 - what a bargain."

"Head to Dwyers of Cork for one of the best bottomless brunches in the country. Pick any dish of their menu, we suggest the Swiss roti or shakshuka and have unlimited prosecco or mimosas all for €25!. Address: 27-28 Washington St, Centre, Cork, T12 WC93"

"Whether you’ve a banging hangover on a Sunday morning or it’s Monday morning and you fancy a healthy breakfast fix to get you through a busy workday, Perry Street Market is worth a shout. This cute café is all about locally sourced produce and freshly made from scratch breakfast foods. The full Irish is both fulfilling and delicious."

"Located right next to Rory Gallagher Place in Cork City, Ali’s Kitchen is a great place to get your breakfast fix. From their eggs Benedict to French toast and pudding, everything on their extensive menu is crafted to perfection. If your sugar levels are down, try the restaurant’s pudding or doughnuts."

"Seriously, when it comes to pizza, these guys can do no wrong. Add a side of any of their delicious chips and you're all set for the evening. Burnt are open for delivery and takeaway and on the deliveroo app from 4pm to 9pm."

"Cork’s main thoroughfare is also south Ireland’s prime shopping street. St Patrick’s Street came about in the 18th century when the city grew beyond its Medieval walls. Since the start of the 2000s the city has made a few pedestrian-friendly changes to St Patrick’s street, like a redesign of the pavement by the architect Beth Gali in 2004, while since March 2018 road traffic is prohibited between 15:00 and 18:30."

"Known as ‘Pana’ by locals, St Patrick’s Street was redeveloped in 2004 and has since grown into Cork’s most popular shopping district. Since then, it has twice been awarded ‘Best Shopping Street’ status in Ireland. It’s chock-a-block with shops and notable buildings, and major retailers include Marks & Spencer, Brown Thomas, Debenhams, Eason and Golden Discs."
