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".

Yeah, they can be a little funny in there actually with the service. They have a bee in the bonnet about the menus, probably around pricing?

They've a bunch of menu's, vegan, veggie, ordinary. I love the food. But I wanted to order a veggie main course and something else for a starter, and they flat out wouldn't let me. Had to be all from the same menu, from me. I said I'd pay whatever the higher set price was... nope. So, I traded with someone else on the table and we swapped plates when they arrived.

Don't really get it. I mean, the same food is coming out to the table, who cares what person received it. Anyhooo.
Love the restaurant, and the food. And for the most part, bar that one weird thing, service was good too.

and the worst staff and service I've ever encountered. Ruined my anniversary meal one year.

I have to say I eat there on a regular basis and always find the staff really nice. The food is always consistent and I’ve never had a problem there.

So I have a group of friends over for new years. We have decided to go out for dinner on the 30th.. Majority are veggie and we wanted to go to cafe paridiso but it is closed as its a sunday. Waiting to ring Orso as they are normally closed sundays too.

Anyone any other really good veggie places? I'm not a fish fan,and I find italian more homely than fancy but anything else could be an option!

Might have to be indian at this rate!

not sure that there are any good indians in town - how about Market Lane? They usually have a few veggie options.. had a fab halloumi salad last time i was there

House Cafe in the opera House has done some great flavoured food, way above what other places are offering and well priced IMHO.

I wasn't incredibly impressed with Nosta, had some flatbreads with spiced meat. The flavouring wasn't great for me, and quite overpriced for what it was.

I'd say Nosta would have a few Greek bits. I've yet to get in there but looking forward to it.

yeah i have been - only once - there was such a draught running through the place, I never went back..

don't rem the food - think i was too cold to enjoy it..

it might be worth a revisit though

Nosta is really more Turkish, but their meat plates, which are basically deconstructed kebabs with grilled, whole pieces of meat, are great.

Not a fan of their tzatziki myself as it's basically just yogurt with herbs on top.

what the hell!

What are peoples thoughts on Luigi Malones? For lunch, was looking at the €11 deal?

Market Lane would be much better and I'm sure they have a similar lunch deal? Soup and half sandwich and one of their tasty chocolate pots.

personally i find it one of the worst places in cork.

the only good thing is if you have kids there's a lot of space for buggies etc

I really like Koto anyway.

Was in koto over the bank holiday weekend and thought it was lovely and I wouldn't be a major oriental/street food person but I had pad thai with chicken and prawns and it was very tasty and the portion was huge!
