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".

How the actual fck are they licensed for that?

Their food looks v overpriced too. Its 13 or 14 euro for fish and chips. No reason to get chipper for that price when you have the likes of dennys and the golden fry around the corner with equal qulity.

Sorry if it's a bit off track but a good home cook show on RTE tonight with Mark Moriarty, of The Green House Restaurant.
A professional, not a show guy.

Had Spitjacks the other day. Delicious food. Really couldn't fault it, and really hope they continue a take out service like this after normality sinks back in.

That's a real loss, never had a bad meal/experience there.

Yeah, pity. Seemed like a nice family run place. Great chips!

Just read that Feed your Senses won’t be reopening - very sad, always a lovely place with tasty tapas.

I guess, 30 years ago, the pita menu was different to almost any chipper in Ireland and people liked it and kept going. I don't get the fuss, myself, but I wish them well. I used to enjoy their fish and chips some years ago.

Well, that's the menu... what differentiates them too is the suppliers. They use real meat from local butchers in the burgers, chip their own spuds, put a bit of effort into the ingredients. Listing suppliers and having good relationships with them was normal there a long time before it was even done in posh restaurants. And it's still relatively unusual in your ordinary chipper. (Shout out to the golden fry though, who do a great job with this!)

I think they are struggling with quality during this lockdown though. I wouldn't go near there til it's over.

Ecos is incredibly popular too and that is, imo, a shockingly bad restaurant - I'd go to Scoozi or Luigi's any day over it (if I had to:rolleyes:).

Eco's isn't my bag either. Big portions, bland-ish food. Give the people what they want though, eh. When I saw their take-away options at the moment, it's the same pricepoint as Greenes and Glass Curtain... 20 euro a head for 2 courses.

Difference is you don't see queues outside them and no one claims that they are the best in the world at what they do.

I don't know how they did it but fair play to KCs for becoming a legendary success with average food offerings.

I see on FB Eco's are making a killing on selling 10 packets of their sauces for 50 quid.

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

Same chips anyway but different menus. I'm a big fan of both.

Ordered Son of a Bun last night, got my usual and it was just as good as ever. Delighted to have them open again.

I wonder how many drivers they have on the road. I saw two at the window during the week. I imagine its costly paying 2 or more drivers every night , hence the fee and minimum order charge of €20. I reckon they will abandon the delivery service when they reopen which would be a shame as it would balance out the queuing system

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.

Ah, makes sense

Wonder is there much of a difference between them. Elephant And Castle are very expensive. 5.75 for chips

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

Has anyone used the takeaway/delivery services at Spitjack?

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.

Especially when fuel prices have come down..

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.
