Reviews summary

A cozy restaurant with nice staff and a warm atmosphere, serving some hit-or-miss dishes. While some diners were disappointed by bland burgers and insect encounters, others found the curry to be exceptional. The quesadillas were a letdown. However, overall, the service was praised for being attentive and professional. Despite some mixed reviews, the restaurant seems to have regulars who have been coming back for years. It may be worth a visit for the friendly ambiance and excellent service.

Was LG at 14a a mag?

I almost missed this place I am so glad I spotted it. Comfortable warm on the coldest of days. I sat outside at the table area. Staff were so helpful and accommodating they went above and beyond. To feed me the best pulled pork burger bap I have tasted so far in Cork. That is just my opinion but if you can tell me where to get a better tasting of pulled pork then please do share.

What HW dislikes about 14a:

Very nice staff and nice place but I didn’t like the food. We ordered a vegetarian burger and one with meat and both came without any sauce on the buns so they tasted quiet bland. The fries also didn’t have any flavour. I’ve definitely eaten better burgers but the people were really nice View all feedback.

I was visiting cork at the start of Feb and had breakfast. I have to say it was one of the nicest breakfast I’ve had out in a LONG time! The staff were super friendly and they were super accommodating to swap out items, it was also cook perfectly and tasted really delicious. It’s very hard these days to find a breakfast that tastes nicer than you would cook at home! Oh and the coffee was also really good! Highly recommend!

Lovely service! The place is very charming as well! We had the soup of the day and a sandwich that were both delicious! Totally recommend it.

I went for brunch and the experience was excellent. I ordered the Eggs Benedict and they were perfectly prepared: the eggs were cooked just right, the hollandaise sauce was creamy and well balanced, and the bacon had a great texture. The bread was nicely toasted and sturdy, which really makes a difference with this dish. The service was outstanding. Fran looked after me and was attentive, friendly, and very professional throughout. You can tell when someone genuinely cares, and it really enhances the overall experience. I will definitely be back. Highly recommended for brunch in Cork.

This is an excellent place for outdoor brunch. The food is delicious and the service is friendly and attentive. The avocado toast with poached egg was outstanding, with plenty of avocado and perfectly cooked eggs. It's also a great value for the quality of food and service.

After a disastrous hotel stay, we arrived at 14a for breakfast and they saved our trip. The staff treated us like they had known us years and were so welcoming. We had a full irish, a sausage sandwich and a smoothie and latte and everything was delicious. Even the fussy eater was happy. I would recommend breakfast here and when I'm back in Cork, I'm hoping to try the dinner menu.

5/5, one of my favourite restaurants in Cork. I usually come here on my lunch break and also bring friends the odd time. The menu has a great selection and I can happily say that I have never been dissatisfied with the service or food here. The service is also always amazing. Would definitely recommend 14A and will of course be returning!

Why chose this restaurant as suppose to the many other restaurants and cafes in cork? Wonderful greeting at the door. Listening to him as regulars and drop ins arrive was wonderful. The gay guy definitely have a way of letting everyone feel welcome and special. The food was great, it took some time, but is worth the wait. You’ll be able to see the chefs preparing the food and there is a nice banter between the employees. Clean restaurant and toilets.

Came here tonight and had fantastic food and excellent service, would have no qualms in recommending this place to friends. The staff were very attentive and chatty and at €20 for a three course meal it's some of the best value in town. Will definitely return

Went in not knowing what to expect. I ordered the chicken curry and can say that it is the best curry I have ever had. Compliments to the chef and they are quite affordable for someone like me on very little money.
