Came here with one mission: oysters. I only tried their oysters, and they were genuinely unique and amazing. Fresh, clean, and the kind of flavour that makes you pause for a second like... wow, ok. I didn't have a reservation, but I had a serious oyster craving, and the manager was kind enough to fit me in. That alone deserves a thank you. Service was good, friendly, and attentive without hovering. The atmosphere was great too, lively and comfortable, perfect for a quick treat or a casual seafood stop. read more

Goldie - Oysters - Seafood Near Me - Cork, Colorado

This is a must visit in Cork. We went for dinner and were seated comfortable upstairs. For parties of 6 or more, it is a modified prix fix in which each person chooses a starter, main and dessert. To start they bring "snacks" to the table which includes fish nuggets, potato chips, and marinated olives. The fish nuggets were absolutely great and served with a basil aioli. For starters I highly recommend the unusual oyster pate. Smooth subtle and perfect. For mains we went with the John Dory which was wonderful. And they bring sides family style. The colcannon was the standout side. What I wouldn't have given to take it home for a fried egg breakfast. The dessert was caramelized white chocolate and ice cream. Amazing way to top off a superb evening. The servers were over the top great. Attentive, sense of humor and knowledge. A Michelin star is probably in their future if they even care about that because they have received so many accolades. read more

Goldie - John Dory - large portion and fabulous - Seafood Near Me - Cork, Colorado

The restaurant is located in the town center. It has a very cute storefront. I came on a Thursday night and was promptly seated on arrival. I came with a reservation and sat at the counter. I enjoyed watching the hustle and bustle of the kitchen. They were professional and speedy. The service was pleasant. I got the oysters, megrim and roasted cauliflower. Some of the best fish that I've had in Ireland. I'm glad that I made the reservation. Overall, I would recommend this cute spot to trial some of the best seafood in Cork. read more

I think I caught them on a bad night is all I can think of as nothing really stood out. Michelin Bib Gourmand 2025 joint with many other accolades it's located right in the center of town with a beautiful store front! Had a late reso and made it like 2 months in advance so it was hyped up in my head, started with Oysters.. these were good. Fish bites not much flavor but hey it's fish bites! Got some fish that was described as whole fish but came out as pieces on a plate, overdone with no flavor. The manager & server were great and they offered dessert & coffee on the house. Would love to come back sometime cause I know it was just a one off. Talk Later read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

Amazing. Simply amazing. I've been meaning to come here for a while and am so so glad I did. The food is PHENOMENAL, the ambience fantastic, and the service excellent. They serve mostly seafood, which is precisely what I was craving, and they make a point to reduce waste by using as much of the fish as possible. I sampled a little bit of everything but my favorites were the spiced cod small plate and my hake main. The cod was insnanely fresh and the pickled veggies went so so well with it. The hake was delicious as well as was the rice that came with it. I also tried the oysters (okay what didn't I eat) which had a delightful ginger sobert on top of them. Unfortunately the sorbet was lost under the oyster flavor, but definitely would have been amazing on its own. An excellent experience, but a word of caution. If you are extremely hungry this may not be the place for you. All of the plates are small in my opinion, well worth it, but definitely won't be sticking to your ribs! Perfect for if you're in a snacky adventurous mood though! read more

Goldie has been awarded Micheline's Bib Gourmand award and, for the second year in a row, Goldie was named Ireland's Best Casual Dining restaurant at the Food Oscars. That is a lot of expectation to live up to, but Goldie delivers and then some! The wait staff is exceptional. And so approachable. Our waiter spent ages explaining all the dishes to us and making recommendations based on our tastes. When we sent compliments to the chef, we were told to stop by and chat with her! Their exceptional beer is brewed just across the street at their sister restaurant, Elbow Lane, to high standards of German Purity Law. It is a fish restaurant, but oh so much more than that. Unique takes on food you have seen before but never experienced what it could be until now! I recommend getting a lot of smaller dishes so you can share and taste a lot. I highly recommend the - Cured Cod (€ 8.50) - Mushy Pea Fritter (€ 8.50) - this is NOT your fish and chips shop mushy peas! - Pan Fried Hake (€ 22.50) - tender with tomatillos - Crushed Baby Potatoes (€ 4.50) with scallions and seaweed butter - the butter is quite a surprise, delicious and so Irish - Sambhar Masala Roast Cauliflower (€ 13.70) with tamarind and chutney - Confit Swede (€ 5.90) with garlic scape - so different from any veg we have ever had read more

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. read more

We are on vacation and had to book this new place Goldie. It just opened a few months ago and we are so glad we ate here. The whole setup is fantastic. Great location, well designed and atmosphere. The staff was very welcoming and the food was amazing. The food presentation and drink selection was right up our ally. All of the dishes are unique. The oysters were by far our favorite. They had a granitas, with notes of elderflower. Amazing, we ordered a second plate of them. Another dish was mushy pea frittata and Cesar gem salad with dried capers and chicken skin. Sounds weird, but so good. The concept of the menu is to take what fish is sent to them from the fisherman they work with. They use as much of the meat, fruit or vegetable as possible to not be wasteful. We love the concept. So the menu might be different. The staff were very accommodating. We can't recommend it enough. Go here!!!! read more

What a gem. We enjoyed a fabulous midweek dinner and came away thoroughly impressed with the warm, knowledgeable staff and the quality of the food. We tried all the "snacks" (small plates), the buttermilk hake as well as the beetroot to start, and the sole and hake for our main courses alongside the colcannon. The white chocolate dessert was a great end to the meal. I felt the price was very fair for the meal, and would be thrilled to dine at Goldie again. read more

Natalie the waitress was exceptionally nice, the hostess, not so much. This place is all the rage BUT it's very arrogant/pretentious. Tiny so it fills up easily so we're supposed to be extremely grateful to be customers? They like to make mention of the menu being new each day--based upon the catch--but that's the norm in many hundreds of other places, heck Fisherman's Warf in Lyttelton, NZ changes their menu as the boats come in and they've done that forever--well, decades. That said the sautéed cod was delicious, I've had better and much better, but this was good. Their potato and cabbage (Colcannon) was really good, where the heck has that been all my life? I'm making that at home! Make a reservation, set your expectations low and then be surprised. read more

Natalia and Sean were the most hospitable servers! The food was creative genius. We love ye!
