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".

Ya, I was wondering. It sounded like the place was still open from the way people were talking.

I understand that the wow burger menu is available for takeaway from there.

Queen of Rebels has been open since the summer, the outdoor area is a nice place for cocktails and food, it was one of my go to places for outdoor dining during level 3. They have the WowBurger menu up over the bar but I asked if I could order from the Captain Americas menu and they were fine with it.

If anyone has not tried the Corn-ish pasties from Osho, I might do soon (lentil version).

The traditional non vegetarian Cornish pasties are sold all over England and can be very nice. Lots of variations... Minted lamb, chicken curry etc.

Surprised we don't have anything like that here!

Strangely, there's an Asian shop in Ballincollig that does a really good cornish pasty. If your not in early enough the hot ones will be gone but she usually has a few in the fridge.
The food in there in general is very good and they have a lovely takeaway hot counter. I've only been in a few times but I've never been disappointed with anything I've gotten in there.

El Door on McCurtain street do cornish pasties and cheese and onion pasties. They're pretty good.

I stopped going there, though, as during the summer they stopped taking cards - cash only.
They actually decided to do this during a pandemic!
I wonder if they lost any more customers over this decision - we were getting all our bread there.

I lived in the UK for a while and we had a Cornish pasty shop in town. They were lovely and great for a quick bite. I wish they were as freely available here. Will have to give them a try.

Have used O'Reilly's in Bandon a few times. Fine, the chips are cooked in rapeseed oil I think and a different taste.
Not sure how many locations they have? Lunch time if passing I get their turkey ciabatta. Nice with sun dried tomatoes, rocket and emmental cheese. That's in the deli.

Have gotten Bunsen twice in recent weeks and it was gorgeous both times. Might get it again this weekend although all the chat about Sober Lane goujons might sway me towards some chicken instead :pac:

sounds a bit grim though - no disrespect to anyone who avails of the service - but its not for me

I would suggest sticking to reviews of places by people that have actually gone to them, not hipster negativity like that.

Yeah, not really my bag either.

But in fairness lots of people like consistency in food, where their previous burger is exactly the same as the next. I don't mind a bit of human variation there. It meets that demand.

Said we'd try something different than our usual Inidan Thali. Got Mirch Masala, nice but not a scratch on Thali. The naan bread was so dry, it just broke apart.

I'd imagine plenty of places you happily eat from but in most of their food prepared.
It's really very common.

We had Four Liars on Saturday evening, for the first time since late summer/autumn. I don't know why we don't get food from here more often, it's really good!

We had lamb Farkia with bulgar wheat, peas, spices, nuts, salad, bread etc
and
CharGrilled Shish Taouq - Marinated, charcoal cooked chicken - came in bread on a bed of grilled veg and a bunch of chopped herbs, that I couldn't put my finger on - no matter, it tasted great. This also came with Salad, Hummus, pilau rice, more bread and Yogurt

We had ordered Baba Ghanouj also, as we did not expect to get so much with our mains - the portion was massive, there's some still in the fridge, again it was super tasty.

Ordered for collection on Just Eat - we picked a time for collection, I arrived a couple of minutes early, and had to wait a couple of minutes - which means thy had the timing bang on.

Overall an astonishing amount of really good food for less than €40 - we cannot wait until they are open for sit down again.

That sounds really good , and a bit different too ,
If I was living in the city I'd be in trying that ...
