The Restaurant Recommendation Thread

Faith

There's been a crazy number of threads recently looking for restaurant recommendations, so I'd like to start a specific thread for it. Please post below about your favourite restaurants - why you like them, what price range they are, what type of food they serve, if they have an early bird, opening hours if you know them, where they're located. If you could include a link to the website, that would be great. The more details, the better. This is not a thread to post negative reviews - there's a thread in the main Food & Drink forum for that if you like. Basically, I want this thread to be full of recommendations, not positive and negative reviews. That being said, you can disagree with a recommendation briefly if you really feel the need to, but you must have a really valid reason such as an awful experience, rather than "I don't really like the food" or "It's too expensive".

That looks amazing! Can I ask how much it cost?

I think it was around €9 or thereabouts. It's usually served stacked.

I’ll definitely be trying it next time I’m in Cork, the sides look amazing!

Looks fab GDD!

I had really lovely fish tacos in gdd last week.
While not cheap at €14, they were good value for the portion size and quality.
Really great flavours going on.
I really like the cooking there.

My sister told me she went to Good Day Deli on Saturday and couldn't get in. There was a queue of 8 people waiting to get in. She joined the queue and then 6 more people joined the queue behind her. Madness. She left the queue as she was starved to bits.

I guess a weekday would be the best time to go there for brunch/lunch.

I was there last weekend and the food and service were great. Was a fair amount of people in there, no tables standing empty for very long that I could see.

Was in there a couple of weeks ago on a Thursday evening. Packed to the rafters.

No pizza on the menu these days, I think that fire must have put the pizza oven out of action.

I had to call into JJ Dwyers last Friday and saw that their breakfast/lunchtime restaurant is open again. It turns out that the restaurant has been leased by Man Friday's Philip Horgan and run by his son Daniel. I had the veg soup and it was as good as you'd get in Man Friday, plus they have their excellent brown bread as well ! While I'd be too picky for a lot of their stuff, there were options. Some of the choices were Calamari burgers, Beef burgers, Smashed avocado on sourdough bread, man friday chowder and chorizo and sweet potato. One thing I noticed they didn't have on the breakfast menu was sausages, real or veggie, which i thought odd.

Good Day Deli for Brunch yesterday. Had the Pancakes with Honey & Mascarpone & Coconut. Really good. My friend's vegan option was fantastic too. Such a treat.

Cornstore this evening, this place never fails to deliver. Good food, good atmosphere, great service. Nothing spectacular, just right, we go in there regular (once a month) This eve we had bread starters, steak for two and peanut cheesecake + coffee + a few pints (wine for the lady!) €90 +€10 tip....3 hours in comfort with good staff, good food. I travel the world for work,on a good expense account, but the Cornstore just makes me feel back in "Cork", no shyte, "just find 'em, feed 'em, fck'em and forget 'em"...love the place, leave your attitude and pretensions outside, just enjoy.

Went to Greene's a few weeks back, had their degustation menu which is meant to be 9 courses, also had a wine "sips" pairing. Really enjoyed both the food and the experience. Ended up at €120 pp, but we also had additional wine. Would recommend and will go again myself, though obviously it's not something I'll do every week!

Uploaded pictures and descriptions of all the dishes here. Pardon the occasionally shoddy photography, was way more important to get into the food than get perfect pics.

Good food there. Must be my age, simply prefer a plate. You can 'lick the plate'.

Looking forward to Da Mirco opening where Star Anise was soon. Should be a nice addition to the mix.

Great! Cork could do with another proper Italian restaurant I think.

The rock was cold, keeping the butter cold for longer. The box though, who knows. :P

That looks great I must say

I don't mind food being served on boards or slates if and when it's appropriate, my pet peeve is actually getting food in a soup bowl and everytime I put down my fork it slides into the gravy. But butter on a rock???? In a box?? As above WTF!

I was up at the International Hotel today for the sunday buffet and it took a few attempts to get a clean plate for each course I went for. Plus there was very little food put out, it was like cleaning up the kitchen after cooking a big family dinner. The scraps were tasty enough, but they were scraps.

Got takeaway from the new Aagrah Indian place on Sundays Well where Annies Bar used to be. The menu seems to have a lot of different dishes to your usual run of the mill Indian. The Hyderabadi Lamb was beautiful (kind of like an Indian Inspired Stroganoff) and the Lamb Tikka Balti was also delicious. They have done the place up quite nicely and retained the full bar licence. They do a Sunday lunch Buffet too, didnt get the price when i was in but will definitely have to be tried!

yeah and if they do pizza i hope its the real deal - none of the italian restaurants in cork do decent pizza imo - only the most casual spots like novecento, fan well etc..

They won't be serving pizza apparently.

Jaysus that butter on a rock in a box is ridiculous. One of the worst I've seen.

You should submit it to the "we want plates" Facebook or Twitter. Although the pic might not be good enough. Do you have a close up of it?

What's the very last pic? Are they stones in the box?
