Stopped in for a sandwich and a pint. The bread was fresh, filling was decent sized. Staff were sound, didn&#39;t rush me at all. It&#39;s a solid spot for a quick bite if you&#39;re in the area. Mine was a bit messy to eat, but that&#39;s on me for picking something saucy. Pretty good overall.

Been coming here for a while now, food&#39;s solid. But the closing time is a bit of a lottery, honestly. Turned away twice before 9pm, which is annoying when you&#39;ve made the trip. Wish they&#39;d just stick to the posted hours.

The butter chicken was proper tasty and the paratha had that nice flaky texture. Only thing is the portion felt a bit small for what you&#39;re paying. I&#39;d say it&#39;s decent for a quick bite but don&#39;t come starving. The seating area is pretty cramped too, not much room to spread out. Fine for a casual lunch but nothing fancy.

Came here on a Tuesday night, place was busy but we got seated straight away. Ordered the pad thai and green curry, both came out hot and fresh. Portion size was decent for the price, though I&#39;d say the curry could&#39;ve had a bit more chicken in it. Staff left us alone which I actually prefer. Paid about &euro;15 each with a drink, can&#39;t complain about that.

Seafood chowder was spot on. Loads of fresh fish, proper hot, and the brown soda bread was class. Cozy enough spot for lunch.

Came here on a quiet Tuesday night, place wasn&#39;t too packed. Got the lasagne and a glass of red. Pasta was proper, not the usual sloppy stuff you get around town. Chef actually walked out with the plates himself, which I thought was a nice touch. Prices are fair for the portion. Only gripe, service was a bit slow between courses. Still, it&#39;s a solid spot if you&#39;re in Cork.

Stopped in for coffee and a slice of cake&mdash;the place has a proper artsy vibe, walls covered in art that&rsquo;s actually for sale. Coffee was rich, not bitter. Cake was decent, though a bit small for the price. Nice spot to kill an hour with a book from their shelf.

Bright spot with loads of seating, no hassle getting a table. Portion sizes were decent for the price, left full without feeling ripped off. Would pop back in if I&#39;m in the area again.

Nice flat white and the scone was decent. Music gave the place a bit of life without being too loud. Staff had a good chatty vibe. Solid shout if you&#39;re sick of the chain spots.

Food was spot on &mdash; the lamb melted off the bone. Service got a bit lost near the end though, took ages to flag someone for the bill. Nice vibe inside, just needed a bit more attention.

Cool spot with a proper urban feel. Been a few times now and the food holds up. Nice having the outdoor bit out back too. Good wine list to work through.

Stopped in here for a coffee and an almond croissant after walking past the cathedral. Croissant was proper good, flaky and buttery. Coffee did the job. Place was busy enough but I found a seat by the window. Nice spot to just sit and watch people for a while. Not bad at all.
