Nice spot for a drink, no doubt. Cocktails were solid but service was all over the place on a busy night. Took forever to get the bill sorted.

Pasta was fresh, no complaints there. Staff were sound, didn&#39;t rush us at all. Place is small and quiet, easy to have a proper chat. Got the tagliatelle, decent portion for the price. Wouldn&#39;t mind going back if I&#39;m in the area again.

The Dubai Style Iced Chocolate was a solid new find &mdash; rich without being too sweet. They threw in a free chocolate to sample too, which was a nice touch.

An&iacute;bal&#39;s service was outstanding! He was very kind and attentive, and the food was delicious. The atmosphere made it a perfect spot to enjoy breakfast.

The daily special pasta was proper good &mdash; tasted like something you&#39;d actually get in Italy. Coffee was spot on as well. Nice spot for a quick lunch.

The pulled ham was lovely and tender, poached eggs done just right. Staff were genuinely friendly too. Only thing is the place got a bit busy but that&#39;s a good sign I suppose.

Lively spot, staff were dead sound. Sunday roast did the job but &euro;30 feels steep for what you get. Fair enough for a one-off though.

Stopped in here on a quiet evening and grabbed a seat near the window. Really liked that the menu had everything clearly marked for allergens, even gluten-free stuff. Made ordering easy, no fuss. Food was decent and the staff were friendly enough. Just a solid, comfortable spot if you want a relaxed pint and something to eat without any hassle.

Service was lovely - they brought the kids some free juice and ice cream without us even asking. Really made the evening easy for us.

The Christmas set menu was simple but the flavours were proper Italian. The prosciutto with honey on that focaccia really stood out. Tiramisu was lovely too, not too heavy. Place was busy but we got through it fine. I&rsquo;d go back for that starter alone, honestly.

Been coming here for a while now, always for the big breakfast. Cappuccino&#39;s got real chocolate on top, not that powder stuff. Portion&#39;s solid, keeps me full till dinner. Gets packed on Saturdays, but they&#39;re quick enough that you&#39;re not stuck waiting around. Consistent, which is why I keep going back.

Tucked away in a quiet little square, this place has that proper cellar feel &mdash; low lighting, stone walls, the lot. Cozy without trying too hard. We sat near the back and it was easy to forget you were in the middle of the city. Not a huge space, but that&rsquo;s part of the charm. Just mind the steps on the way down if you&rsquo;re not watching your feet.

The wagyu beef burger was properly seasoned, really tasty. Only thing is they cook them well done, but the chips made up for it. Nice selection of alcohol-free drinks too.

Friendly staff and the pub had a proper buzz about it. Beef and mushroom pie was homemade, really decent. Prices fair for what you got.

Stopped in for a drink, ended up staying for dinner. Nachos were decent, chicken wings were actually pretty good too. Place has that old historical vibe which is nice. But honestly, the portion sizes felt a bit small for what you pay. I get it, you&#39;re paying for the atmosphere, but I left still a bit hungry. Fine for a quick bite, not for a proper feed.

Found this spot on the Michelin guide. Trout was spot on, well seasoned. Manager sorted us out nicely, proper service. Decent for a quick bite if you&#39;re in the area.

Been coming here for years, still just as tasty. They even threw in extra sauce once, love that for us. 😄

Nice little spot for a feed. Coffee was grand and the staff didn&#39;t rush me out. Bit tight for space but that&#39;s the charm of it.

Stopped in for a bite after work. The live music on Saturday was decent, not too loud. Had the dinner special, fish and chips I think it was. Solid enough. Room was clean, bed was comfy. Breakfast did the job. Nothing fancy, but you know what you&#39;re getting. Fine for a local.

Cocktails were solid, that Spicy Cucumber one had a proper kick to it. Gabi looked after us well, friendly without hovering. Place had a good buzz about it.

Grabbed bar seats without a booking and the corned beef was proper tender. Staff were sound to chat with too. Decent feed in Cork.

Stopped in for brunch last Saturday. Got the pressed sandwich with smoked salmon&mdash;really tasty, no complaints there. Chai latte was on the sweeter side, which I liked. Menu&#39;s small but everything looked decent. Most plates around a tenner, fair enough for the area. Staff were sound, didn&#39;t rush us at all. Place was busy but not mental. Wouldn&#39;t mind going back if I&#39;m passing.

The castle view from our table was unreal &mdash; proper postcard stuff. Food was decent, nothing mind-blowing, but you&#39;re really paying for the setting. Enjoyed it though.

The lamb was tender and properly seasoned, no fuss. Room was quiet enough to actually enjoy it. Service got a bit lost at the end, but they were slammed.
