I think Scoozie's is lovely, its always busy but its good value and the food is gorgeous. Luigi Malone's is another great one, and the newly reopened Kethner's just off Paul St. comes to mind too.

I second Star Anise (early bird) and Market Lane. I also think the early bird in Electric on the South Mall is good. If you could take a bus to Douglas, Ecos is great but you have to book in advance.

Fenns Quay on... Fenns Quay.

Electric - prefer their bar food.

Isaacs on McCurtain Street.

Annies on Sundays Well (bit pricey but heavenly).

Club Brasserie by the Clarion Hotel.

Indigo I think it's called - Washington Street.

Liberty Grill - other end of Washington Street.

+1 for Luigi Malones, really nice food but can get very busy when there's something on in the Opera House!

[ABajaninCork]

Luigi Malone's I find very expensive unless you get the Early Bird Menu. Food is average at best.

Forgot about Isaac's and there's also Greene's in the same building that is excellent too. Both are on McCurtain St as already mentioned.

OP - Any chance you could get a taxi out to Annie's Bar in Sunday's Well? Not far from CC but the food is WICKED!!! Well worth the trip...

I would recommend
Rossini -Italian
Les Gourmandises - French
Isaacs
Market Lane -resonable prices
Scoozie's - resonable prices
Strasbourg Goose -currently doing 3 course meal for 20 quid.
Enjoy

I third Star Anise
Early bird is excellent value.

Personally, though, I'd stay well clear of Eco's in Douglas - lowest common denominator food - hence they are always busy!

[Lars1916]

That's quite a lot, thanks

I guess, I have something to do on my day off tomorrow, checking websites, throwing dices, looking forward to have a good time

Most likely going Monday, so are there any of the mentioned above, which are most likely packed on a Bank Holiday between 6ish and 9ish in the evening?

Hey guys,

Looking to bring me mammy out for dinner for her birthday on Friday. Seeing as Im just outta college I think im looking at the early bird option so we can get some decent grub without a huge pricetag.

Anyone have any recommendations? I know theres a thread on this already but its a few years old.

What about that place by the clarion (the boardwalk??)? Any good?

[Milly33]

I havent been to the Boardwalk myself but i think tis pretty basic as far as i have heard nothing special.. I can verify that The Strasbourg Goose does loverly food, both homely but yet with the special touch..The duck in orange sauce if yummie. The do an early bird think tis €20 for a three course of a 2 course with a glass of wine..

Only thing is you defo need to book in advance and ask them for a nice cozy place where you can relax as tis a little cramped in some but still great

[ABajaninCork]

Market Lane does EB Specials. Think it's E20 for 3 courses...

[allprops]

The Strasbourg Goose does the 20 notes 3 course all night. Great food. You can't go wrong.

[The Scratcher]

Another nod to the Strasbourg goose. Good and buttery!!

If she likes seafood, and you want her to feel very special, the new seafood restaurant in the Clarion, Oysters, do an early bird between 5.30 and 7 for €25. I ate there last week (not the early bird) and it was fabulous.

The Boardwalk is average, at best, IMO.

Hurray, another restaurant thread.
