If you are opened mind to food then this is probably the best place to go in Cork City.
Unlike a lot of the other highly rated Cork restaurants, this is not somewhere you go to be seen, but somewhere you go to eat excellent food. Most restaurants in Cork serve very similar menus, this menu is both different and diverse.
I cook a lot myself so I ...

I booked this place for our wedding anniversery 3 weeks ago we were going to make a real go of it and this Place was to be the Pinnical of our celebrations.. we arrived at 21:00 our time. and we were met by another customer waiting for a table. we were told that due to another party arriving with more people than they had booked for we would have ...

From the minute i entered this adorable restaurant it was extraordinary. The building while old and slightly decrepit, allowed for the most romantic of ambiances. The waiting staff were competent and extremely friendly. The food was creative, fresh, seasonal and inspired. Good value considering the quality of the food. I would recommend to those looking for something a little special.

Great place if you want a variety of things to eat. I loved the meat, very good, in quality and flavor. 4.5 out of 5

At first glance, the 'quirky' interior seemed nice, but then I began to notice the dust on the few clear surfaces, and the mould on the wall. Kitchen itself seemed extremely cramped, and I didn’t get to check hygiene levels. The food was ...

Good food, different, not scared to use ingredients in an innovative way.

Value good. Wine list very good. Fixed price meant no messing around with bills etc.

This is an amazing restuarant, it is worth a visit just to witness the decor and the ambience. It is as if you have been invited into the chefs personal dining room and you are waited on by the most hospitable staff. The food is an experiance of flavours and it is obvious the chef has travelled and is not afraid to be creative with his dishes. Not ...

The only half decent thing about this place was the toilet. We booked a table but needn't have bothered as we were the only people there and we soon found out why when we had our meal. The food was overpriced and not as nice as Iceland's (as in Kerry Katona advert). Portions were really stingy, although it was only a lunchtime meal. Asked ...
