Restaurant Recommendation Thread - Anyone for seconds?

I love that place and so reasonable , the shop attached is excellent also, great for takeaway.

Heading down to cork this weekend, booked Scoozis Friday night as it was recommended a few times before and the Spitjack Saturday night. Looking forward to both. Going to blackrock castle for lunch on the Saturday and stopping in the elm tree on the way home Sunday.

Well, it is what it is.

Chicken wings, burgers, pizza etc.

Market Lane - fool proof - and something for everyone - same owners as Blackrock castle cafe

Plenty of other places do fantastic pizza wings, burgers etc nothing wrong with those but Scoozis is awful.

Hi guys I actually booked liberty grill. Tried market lane but nothing available until after 9 which is too late for us after a long drive. Thanks for all the help.

Liberty grill is a nice spot too.

I've never been to LG but has to be better than Scoozi.

To be fair, I think Scoozi was recommended for a family dinner, with kids, which it does deliver on. I agree, you get better food elsewhere, but Scoozi is a a place where a child having a tantrum wouldn't be really heard,it's got a loud atmosphere, fast food in a restaurant setting.

Ah Just saw on Facebook Pilgrims in Rosscarbery closing up

It's with heavy heart we wish to inform everybody that Pilgrims restaurant will be closing its doors on the 2nd April.

After 8 years in beautiful Rosscarbery and a 2nd bundle of joy joining our family in the coming weeks we have decided it's time for a change.

It's a decision we have not made lightly, we've so enjoyed our time here over the years, we love the building and Rosscarbery, getting to know our regulars, the locals, our suppliers and all our staff members over the years. Many of whom are now our friends. We are very sad to let it go. Pilgrims has tried to be a sustainable business from the beginning supporting local not corporates but now it's time to make life sustainable for us rearing a small family.

But never fear after taking a pause, we will be back. We're not leaving hospitality and plans are afoot for the next chapter.

Many thanks and love to all xx

You better get there before April so!

And the upmarket establishment is so upmarket that I recently became aware someone I know, a young waitress, was given a 10 minutes break after 6 hours of work, during a 10 hour shift, below minimum pay.

So Friday night we went to liberty grill, really nice atmosphere there, it was full, but not loud or crowded. I had wings to start followed by the Californian club burger and chips and I have say it was gorgeous. Herself had the fish special which was pan roasted cod and she is still talking about it.

Went to The Spitjack Saturday night. Seats seem to divided by screens like they were in all places during covid. I didn’t mind it though as the seats are very close so you get that privacy. We had a sharing board of seafood to start which had prawns, calamari, fish cake and sourdough bread. It was a nice sized portion, I love calamari and herself loves fish cakes.

We both had the rotisserie chicken for mains and I can honestly say it was the best chicken I’ve ever eaten, there was plenty of it too. The Lyonnaise potato I thought was a bit bland but the chicken jus and carrots were divine. Overall the food was a solid 8.5/10, we will definitely go back next time. Bill was close to €80 with drinks but really good value for money.

It’s only half an avocado, I actually gave it a bit of a mash and put it on the bun. There was also a small dish of sauce which you can see at the back of the plate. I’m not sure what it was but tasted good on the burger.
