Fantastic seafood bistro right in the heart of Cork! Small menu is mostly focused around seafood, but you other options available too, both for veggies and meat-esters. By the time we arrived (8pm in the evening)some of the dishes were already sold out. The stuff is very friendly and helpful, very happy to explain the dishes to you and answer your questions. I was very pleasantly surprised by all of the dishes we tried, but seaweed potato crisps snack that they make themselves. The bistro is mentioned in Michelin guide.

A fantastic seafood focused restaurant. While it has won accolades from Michelin, it has much more of a feel and friendly service as a neighborhood restaurant. The food, however, is incredible. We ordered almost everything on the menu and there were no disappointments. A few that stand out, though, were the fish bites on the snacks menu. A monkfish small plate that tasted like pulled pork in a pastry cup (forgot the name) was incredible and unique. I also really enjoyed the hake but there was nothing I would be worried about recommending. The cost was also incredible, for what amounted to be a self made tasting menu, the bill was less than I would expect at a typical restaurant. Highly recommended.

A bartender at The Shelbourne recommended this place saying they had just won a "Best Casual Restaurant" award. So we changed our plans, walked over, and were lucky enough to snag a table for two. There certainly was nothing casual about the food -- as EVERYTHING we tried was amazing! We decided to only get one Main and lots of sides and small plates so we could try more dishes. Here they are: 1. Mushy Pea Fritter - crunchy goodness with an Indian Twist. 10/10 2. Masala Roast Cauliflower - crunchy, again with an Indian flair. 10/10 3. Frog Swede - can't describe how different this veggie is was. Get it. 10/10 4. Baby Potatoes - well everything can't be a perfect "10" -- so a 9. 5. Pan Fried Hake - tender, buttery, goodness 10/10 6. White Chocolate Sorbet - several layers to this, melts in your mouth. 10/10 Also, their beer is brewed locally from their sister restaurant Elbow Lane across the street so you know it's fresh. This was one of the best meals we had during our entire 2 week UK trip -- and amoung the best we've ever had anywhere. From the service, to the plating, to the taste of the food -- all spot on. I've never has a waiter spend 7 minutes explaining each and every dish on the menu -- but we loved it as alot of the food was new to us. Well deserved award Chef -- keep up the great work and THANK YOU!

By the way Goldie is named after the little gold fish windvane located at the top of St Ann's Church tower. Goldie is a wonderful little place. While casual, this could easily be a special occasion option. The small menu is seafood-centric and everything is extremely well executed with an eye to flavor and visual appeal. The pan-fried cod and monkfish were both on point and fresh. The Rossmore Oysters were amazing. The servers were very enthusiastic and knowledgeable about all of menu options.

Amazing brunch and wonderful service!! The pancakes and maple glazed bananas were delicious.read more

It's a surprise every time! Is it chicken? Is it beef? Who knows! It's marinated in our secret…read moreblend of confusion and regret. Soggy Salad: A delightful mix of wilted lettuce and questionable dressings served on a plate that's seen better days. Extra crunch from the occasional bug, for free! Overcooked Pasta al Dente: We believe in cooking pasta until it's just shy of a rubber tire. Topped with a sauce that's been sitting too long in the back of the fridge, it's a real treat for the adventurous eater! Dessert of the Day: Today's special is a slice of cake that has more frosting than cake--perfect for those who like to eat pure sugar and regret. Drinks: Our drink menu features a selection of sodas that are flat and warm, alongside our house blend of coffee, which is brewed from beans that have seen better days (and probably traveled through time). Cleanliness: You'll love our "rustic" vibe, which includes sticky tables, menus that have seen better days, and a floor that's a mystery of its own. We believe in a "natural" environment, which is why we let the crumbs and spills mingle freely! Closing Thoughts: At The Greasy Spoon, we pride ourselves on our ability to lower your expectations and still somehow manage to exceed them--in the wrong way, of course. Come for the food, stay for the unforgettable experience... if you dare!
