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".

Has anyone used the takeaway/delivery services at Spitjack?

A bit OT, but I've been procuring my food from Neighbourfood recently. The collection point is just around the corner on Barrack Street from where I live.

This evening, I'm going to collect a rye bread with pork terrine and sauerkraut.

I've been using them as well. They also have a collection point in Douglas in On The Pig's Back. It's basically an online farmers market - most of the producers that you'd see at the normal Douglas and Mahon markets are there. Works out expensive but it means I can get all my fresh food there and only go to the supermarket every 3 weeks or so.

I hope you got back on to them if that's one of the main parts!

Nah, didn't open the box till I got home and I was after a 13 hour shift so didn't want to leave the house again. I'll be sure to check the box before I leave if I get it again though.

what the hell!

Chilli fries were sadly disappointing because they left out the most important ingredient.....the Wow Burger sauce on top. It's the best bit like.

Yeah it's price gouging at it's finest but, they know that people will pay. I tried to order it the other day but my order was rejected and they refunded me the money for order.

For anyone thinking about KCs it's a minimum order of €20 plus €4.5 delivery plus a processing fee of €0.5 so best case you're spending €25 which is a bit much in my opinion

Wowburger are after popping up on Deliveroo- how is that? They’re closed ages at this stage.

Tried K.Cs but they weren't taking orders. Got O'Sullivans instead. 15 for burger and chips, burger was huge and delicious , really nice dressing and onion rings in the burger. Chips were a very good sized portion and very nice. Also got a small portion of buffalo wings, very tasty and very big portion for a small . Would recommend. Miles ahead of West Cork Burger

You ring your order ahead, they give you a collection time, then they drop it into the back of your car in their car park. Very good setup

You join their network and they supply food from loads of local Cork food producers, like Ballyhoura mushrooms etc. Collect it from Barrack street.

Is Captain America’s still in Cork? They’re part of the same group so they could be using Captain A’s kitchen. That’s what they’re doing in Blanchardstown. They were never in Blanch until a couple of weeks ago.

Ah there we go!

I saw that too and found it very strange. Checked their FB to see if it was legit and yep, they are definitely delivering in Cork.
They’re closed well over a year, if not two years at this point so it would make you wonder how long their lease was to say they can open the kitchen back up.
Very very strange.

More a cult or sect then a chipper IMO..... A food version of Tesla or apple.....

Pricey enough for diy but if its nice the convenience and novelty would be worth it for me.

Got the west cork burger box delivered yesterday and actually found it pretty good value. Everything in the box was top quality and fresh... Plus the burgers were massive! You get all the stuff to make 8 burgers so it works out at a fiver each including delivery.... DIY doesn't bother me, so I found it good value. I know others just might not have the time to cook etc and that might make it seem not as good value.

We didn't fry/steam the burgers as you would get them in town, but threw them on (a proper charcoal one!) the barbecue and they were absolutely savage...
Four of us had two burgers each and were stuffed.

Apparently people were ordering to random houses in the vicinity and then waiting outside to collect their order. Madness.

Takes about 2 hours to get an order through as well.

With a delivery service , you'll get all the regulars , as well as all the people who would go but are put off by the que. They'll be doing more custom than if the shop was open. The system cant handle the sheer amount or orders.

It would be handy if the shop was open to balance things out a bit

They need some type of queue with delivery slots. We were going to get it tonight. Will probably have to order at 5 to get it by 7

I wonder are they going to start doing the dial a pint service in Cork?

I'd say it would do very well if someone did it,I'd definitely order if only for the novelty factor, every now and then I get a mad mind for a pint,it would be fabulous in this weather.

A little off topic perhaps but .... as long as the english market is open i can happy live without restaurants (no disrespect to them - i feel sorry for business owners and staff).. would be lost without fresh fish though.. love Ballycotton Seafoods..

I got fresh fish delivered to my house today from a company I spotted on fb during the week, I've frozen it but my God the salmon fillets are huge,also got some fish cakes. Hopefully it tastes as good as it looks.
