Restaurant Recommendation Thread - Anyone for seconds?

The website hasn't been updated to reflect lunch hours, and does not display a lunch menu.

They had a lunch menu up on Instagram weeks ago, and that post is deleted. I recall saying to colleagues it was quite expensive (and lacked their goujons!) I don't think I'd be out of line suggesting mains were north of €16.

And it looks like they've heard that feedback and rejigged the menu:

The prices seem exclusive of sides, though, and I can't recall if the original lunch menu was the same.

Was there last night and felt the very same.

I think Michelin only went there because he previously had a star. Seems quite common in Ireland that reviewers both Michelin and not only go to tourist spots or places that are connected somehow to stars

One of my favourite restaurants and certainly my favourite Japanese restaurant is Taikichi in Limerick so given the fawning over Ichigo in the press I was expecting Taikichi++ but in every way except wine little unheralded Taikichi blows it out of the water.

Other than that Cork was amazing and booked my next trip while still in the bar last night.

Went to Corriander in Ballincollig on Saturday, thought it was excellent. I braved the lamb vindaloo, serious heat! Mrs had some vegetarian Paneer dish, we both agreed it was every bit as good as Thali.

Pricey enough €20 for a curry with no sides but I'm bored of talking about prices at this stage.

Living local enough to it now, so nice to know I can get a good curry than that overrated muck the Raj

Brilliant, I desperately miss the Fish Wife still, sounds good.

Way harder than any tampura I've ever had.

Sounds like it might be the problem, alright. Everything else is good, though, and they do a whole lot more than battered fish. Fish was really fresh and cooked right, despite the batter, which we did eat all of even though it was a bit hard.

Have heard its good,must try it for brunch some day, I've read it's dog friendly so could bring the pooch..

Looks like greenes is shutting down/changing their restaurant

From Facebook:

Last night, Sunday, February 25th was our last service as Greenes Restaurant.

We feel the restaurant, in its current form, has run its course and we have made the decision to shift from a fine dining offering. Until we reopen we will be busy behind the scenes creating a new concept that we are excited about.

We have shared many happy moments with our guests over the years and have memories that will be cherished. While we do not yet have a date for a reopening, our new venture will bring a renewed sense of creativity to the space.

Gift vouchers for Greenes Restaurant will be honoured in Hotel Isaacs and Cask and in our reopened space. Our team and management want to thank all our loyal clientele over the years and the suppliers we have worked with and we look forward to welcoming you all again in due course.

A refresh for greenes was definitely needed but I'm not entirely sure a whole rebrand was needed. Be interesting to see what they come up with
