RIVERVIEW CAFE 24.08.10 THE RIVERVIEW CAFE…read more Made an unscheduled coffee stop at the Riverview Cafe in Fitzgerald's Park this morning. Just a handful of people there about the 10.45am mark, thought there might have been more. A cup of coffee and a croissant cost me €5.00 and I took it to an outside table in the sun. An inquisitive robin (photo) perched alongside and stayed a few minutes, eventually declining the few crumbs I'd placed in his direction. Coffee and croissant were fine and the break enjoyable. This cafe by the way is open seven days a week and quite central to the attractions in the area. http://www.riverviewcafe.ie/ Tel: 021 427 95 73 RIVERVIEW CAFE Fitzgerald's Park may be soggy and the Cork City Museum may be closed but the floods haven't beaten the Riverview Cafe and it is open for business. Had a stroll though the park this morning and called in for coffee and a scone, cost €4.30. Not the cheapest. But service and quality was good in the uncrowded venue. It was getting busier as I left. In busy times, you have the opportunity of ordering online (orders@riverviewcafe.ie) or by phone. More pics from the park at http://corkandabout.blogspot.com/

I know what you are asking - why did you go all the way to Ireland, and have Italian food and…read morepizza? Well, we got tired of the few traditional Irish dishes and were craving something different. The owners are from Northern Italy, so the food is quite a treat compared to what you usually experience in America. Plenty of pizza choices (both vegan and non vegan), as well as a good variety of pasta dishes, desserts, and drinks. We ordered the Delizia (€12.50 for the 9" or €14.50 for the 12" pie). It consisted of spicy salami, Italian bacon, red onion, mozzarella cheese, and we added black olives for an extra €1. And they didn't skimp on the black olives folks (see the pic). They were whole olives, and not slices, like we are used to in the states. Gotta love that! We also ordered the 9" Vegetariana for €10.80. It had tasty tomato sauce, aubergines (AKA eggplant), courgettes (AKA zucchini), a touch of basil, and roasted red peppers. No cheese on this one, since it was listed as a vegan option. The food was so fresh here, and the best part of it all was the crust and the tomato sauce on each pizza. Service was OK. The food came out in a timely manner, and the girl running the front operations was friendly and courteous. However, I must deduct one star because she didn't pay enough attention to our drink refill requests. She was occupied with what appeared to be one of the town locals who stops in for a pint and just sits and has conversations with the staff. I guess that happens in a lot of small towns. I can get past that though, I would drop by here again, in a heartbeat. No private parking lot - you have to park on the street. Two hour free street parking, but I advise leaving your car parked at the Blarney Castle if you just came from there, and just walk the short distance to this place. Bottled beer is €3.50, pints are €4.95, a glass of merlot is €6.70.
