Where's the best place to eat in the city that I can get to and back up Patrick's hill in an hour? It's just getting really boring. We either go to Luciano's, The old oak, Shelbourne or Cafe Mexicana. Bare in mind that we reeeally don't want to spend more than 7euros for lunch.

Dan Lowreys on McCurtain St (next to the Shelbourne) has always done pretty nice lunches. Haven't et in the Met for a while, but that's worth a try too I guess.

Here, you can't be comin' in here askin' questions you know. You might distract people from the dozen or so I asked.

Currans (it's on some side street off North Main St.) down near Le Cheile (sp?). Great food. I recommend the Cajun chiken bagette (sp? again)

Oz is quite nice too.

On the subject of food, it has to be said that the burgers in Manhatten Joe's on Oliver Plunkett Street are the job.

Currans is yummy and has already been mentioned, the Cajun Chicken Baguette is delish man!

I was at Zanzibar last Friday night and thought the food was very nice and you got a large enough serving. It might be a tad more expensive, perhaps 10 euro.

You can get to subway and back in an hour no bother. I did it alot of the time when I was in bruce without walking at any kind of quick pace.

Kold

Hmmm all seem a bit far.. We really can't be arsed to cross the river that much.. Manhattan Joe's? How is it I've never seen this establishment? I'm always on Oliver Plunkett.. Where bouts is it?

sixpack's little hat

wimpy / burger place / loads of past names

Kold

Oh.. that place never looked up to much :dunno:

sound_wave

Gers Deli down by Hewitt is the job for rolls and stuff..

rymus

You think?
We went there for lunch one day a while back. My burger was pretty well burnt and my friends chicken breast or whatever it was was uncooked. She brought it back and they said it was grand, so the service isn't much cop either.

Kafka's = worst food place ever?

Ahh I dunno if its the worst ever... Haven't been in there for an age though. They have lovely food, especially those HUGE sandwiches, but the one thing I found is that they do get a rather odd crowd in there sometimes. That may have fizzled out by now... or maybe I'm just getting old and less accomodating

yellum

I agree Kold. **** food and **** service really.

I don't know Rebecca Loos but I hope she dies.

Tried Manhattan Joes on Wed, no way that's reachable. Was Ok I suppose.

Some people like to take their time eating.
Sign of a good shagger apparently

Kold

I like to think so anyway.. And top of Patricks Hill to Manhattan Joes, waiting for food and walking back up takes more than an hour.

Molly

No it doesn't.

Kold

Yes it does.

Run Forest, run !

Kold

Did i mention that we're students... We don't run for food

Molly

I never ran anywhere for lunch and i nor anyone in my group of friends had a problem making it to subway and back whilst eating our food there during the hour.

Kold

Hours were longer back in your day so

You steal it.

dahamsta

Since when do students "do lunch"? Shouldn't you be asking where the nearest pub with student discounts is?

adam

Molly

Tis only secondary school not a proper student yet.

JohnK

Thats no excuse

rymus

Shur theres a centra/spar at the end of Patricks Hill. What more culinary delights do you need than a rock hard salad roll?

Kold

I know the guy whose parents own that store so I won't badmouth their ****ty food and questionable health issues.

I stole food from the Old Oak once... well... I just didn't pay for it... and I forgot to remind them that I hadn't...

We drink down Brannigans on Thursday nights... happy hour

Not to mention their sky-high prices.. unless things have changed since the days I paid over 3 quid for a bottle of coke and a mars bar.

Kold

Well it's not that expensive but it's expensive considering the quality and that sometimes it smells of cat urine.

Christ, I didnt know any pubs do a student discount. Dont go out much in Cork in fairness. Mainly because my class are a shower of cnuts.
