Review: Early bird at Star Anise, Cork

Posted by: catriona in: Restaurants | Reviews

A few weeks ago I helped a friend move apartment and as a thank you she took me out for dinner.  We went to Star Anise on Bridge Street in Cork and availed of the early bird offer: 2 courses for €23.95 or 3 for €28.95.  Sadly I didn’t take particularly good notes from the [...]

Lukewarm review: Greene’s Restaurant, Cork

Posted by: catriona in: Restaurants | Reviews

A few months ago, Jimmy and I headed to Greene’s on McCurtain street in order to avail of the menu for Dine In Cork week. Greene’s would be a little out of our budget normally, with mains at €25 or so, but at €25 for three courses and tea or coffee it seemed worth a [...]

Restaurant Review: An Sugan, Clonakilty

Posted by: rercy in: Restaurants | Reviews

West Cork is such a beautiful place with the most astounding vistas but you know that. I was down at the Fiddlefair in Baltimore at the weekend and although it was really nippy, the music and setting made up for it. On my way down I stopped off in Clonakilty for some lunch and popped [...]

Late night pizzas

Posted by: peter in: Bad Value | Takeaways

I got a pasting last year for slagging off Ray’s pizza, but I was kind of asking for it. My gripe was that the pizza, although delicious, was overpriced. Our reader Nanazolie agreed: A pizza is cheap to produce. I make some at home for less than 3 euros. The dough is essentially flour, water, [...]

Review: Cafe Paradiso, Cork

Posted by: peter in: Restaurants | Reviews

Cheap eats is not about getting a soggy sandwich for €1, or living off tins of beans. It’s about getting value for money, whether that’s a €3 burger and chips offer in a takeaway or a €20 deal for an extraordinary lunch. Cafe Paradiso, a vegetarian restaurant run by award winning chef and author Denis [...]

Sometimes, a deal is so good that the only response is for everybody to sit back and nod your head. See, you’re such a genius for finding it, that you don’t even need to speak. That’s how I felt last weekend in Cork, when I visited my friends Cat and Jimmy (pictured) and spent a [...]

Review: Puccino’s, Cork

Posted by: jean in: Restaurants | Reviews

The great Maria Crispy took my little girl and I to West Cork for the recent long weekend, and we had a lovely time altogether.  After seeing the incredible Spring  Break on the Sunday night, we found ourselves hungover and bewildered in Cork City on the Bank Holiday Monday, looking for somewhere to feed us.

By Catriona McGrath Jimmy and I saw an early bird special in an Indian restaurant in Cork so we decided to give it a try over the weekend.  The restaurant is called Eastern Tandoori and it’s in the city centre, on Emmet Place.  The early bird is from 5 – 7 Monday to Thursday, 5 [...]

Review: Heir Island Cottage, Cork

Posted by: maria crispy in: Restaurants | Reviews

Ah West Cork, how you always fatten me. I spent a few precious days down there recently and had the usual run of fish-based excursions into the restaurant world.  Haddock so fresh it hadn’t been reported missing yet for €12 in the New Haven in Schull (which does some lovely pizza pretty cheaply too) was [...]
