Erg positieve ervaring! Volop genoten de originele recepten die vol smaak waren de goede relaxte sfeer. De cocktails zijn ook lekker en de bediening was ook vriendelijk en snel, ons water werd elke keer snel bijgevuld. Hier komen we zeker nog een keer terug als we weer in Cork zijn!

Vegetarian options
There are two vegetarian starters and two vegetarian main courses. Enough as far as I'm concerned.

Simply lovely in every way! We had vegetarian food and enjoyed everything. Really great cauliflower dish, cannellini was amazing, and the eggplant dish was amazing! Service was fantastic and the ambience is great not too loud, cozy, and just lovely overall.

My boyfriend and I went to Orso for our anniversary last night and it was absolutely perfect. The food & cocktails were amazing (as always), the staff were so friendly, the service was quick & the atmosphere is so relaxed and inviting. Orso is one of my favourite spots in Cork!!!

Picked this place randomly while looking for something vegetarian and really happy we did.

I had the aubergine fritter flatbread and it was incredible. We also got the side of garlic stone bread and the orso fries, both of these are small sides but they are very tasty.

Would recommend this place to anyone looking for a quick bite with polite service

This hidden gem is a must visit when in Cork! The food was delicious, cocktails fabulous and service attentive. The lamb melted in your mouth. All of the flavors were so delectable. Ambience is wonderful and a great place for dinner for any occasion or just because. Highly recommend!

Top spot for very tasty food, Moroccan inspired cuisine delivered to a high standard at a good price. Excellent team on the ground, helped us feel at home with a 15 month old.

Kid-friendliness: Not a child kind of place. However if you can’t resist the menu, they do takeaway for everything.

A gorgeous restaurant! Went there this evening with my partner while visiting Cork city. Chose it based on its menu and it didn’t disappoint. The vegetarian cannelloni was delicious. My partner couldn’t make up her mind so ordered 2 starters and 2 sides as her main course - sesame cauliflower which was divine, lamb kofta, delicious, flatbread freshly made with a fabulous hummus and potato fries. We polished off the lot. Would definitely recommend this restaurant. Lovely looking with a cosy atmosphere and our waitress was very charming and friendly. Go there!

Vegetarian options: Two lovely options for mains and gorgeous cauliflower starter plus a few veggie sides.

Dietary restrictions: I have a severe nut allergy which was very well accommodated.

We were pleasantly surprised with how nice the food was in Orso, the food was excellent quality and the staff made us feel really welcome. We will definitely eat here again when we are back in Cork.

Vegetarian options: They had a lightly battered cauliflower dish that went really well with a provolone dish.

Welcoming place to go with friends, a couple or on your own. Beautiful food and drinks. Friendly and attentive staff. I had the baked cauliflower as a starter and the chicken supreme as main dish, both were amazing, also the "surprise me!" mocktail was perfect. Even though I was the only guest outside, they turned the heater on for me. Thank you for the lovely experience. I'd definitely come back. 🌟
