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".

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 find it a bit hyped up. Nicer chippers out there!!

Yeah, it's grand. Their burgers aren't great but they do nice pittas. There's plenty better out there

Wife got me the gubeen chorizo in her collection. It didn't make it to fridge, inhaled it. Delicious it was.

It's completely mental how a chipper can create such a fuss.
KCs is grand, like, but really?

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

what the hell!

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

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.

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.

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

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've actually made my day, can't wait to get their chilli fries tonight after work!!

JohnK

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

€4.50 delivery for a 2km journey is taking the p1ss and I say that as a big fan of KC's... Jesus.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Has anyone used the takeaway/delivery services at Spitjack?

It's absolutely nothing to do with fuel, it's paying the delivery person.

The money wouldn't bother me as I've a family who would easily eat a decent amount of grub from there, it's different if it's one creole.

What would put me off more is their use of gloves in normal times handling both food and money was a little slack, so I wouldn't be super-confident in their containment abilities during a viral outbreak. I also saw the delivery drivers queuing up at the window the other day, almost on top of eachother.

I got it last week, it was delicious. The food was really good and packaged properly to ensure it didn’t get messed up on the journey home.
The order process was also really straightforward, we were given a specific time to collect the order and when we arrived it was ready to go with minimal contact.
Will definitely be getting it again this week I’d say.

Neighbourhood food also have a collection point in Passage West village On a Thursday

Is there much of a difference between Captain Americas and Wow Burger? Might try one of them tomorrow

It's showing on Uber Eats that Elephant and Castle are in Cork. I thought they were only in Dublin?

Can't really find anything showing they have a Cork location apart from Uber Eats or Just Eat

Wowburger, Elephant and Castle and Captain A’s are all part of the same group and are using Captain A’s as a takeaway location. Dollard & Co is another but I’m not sure if they’ve expanded it to Cork.
