    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.

    So our group of 4 discovered the real hard way that downtown Cork restaurants and pubs really just…read morearen't open on a Sunday. We wandered from place to place with no luck and finally found this cafe which had some patrons sitting outside tucking into breakfast. We were super hungry and while Irish breakfast wasn't an option on the menu, having been up for 2hrs, this place was open and serving and so we found us a table on the outside porch area since it was sunny and we could people watch. There was an option for a build your own breakfast and I asked the server to approximate an Irish breakfast with awesome results! The breakfast which arrived on my plate consisted of: - Two lovely poached eggs, these had deep yellow yolks and tasted so good -1 crunchy toast, split into two -2 sausages which weren't too my taste that much -2 lovely pieces of thick ham, delicious and perfect, not too salty at all -half a fried tomato - amazing medley of fried wild mushrooms, absolutely the best! I also got a glass of freshly squeezed Orange juice to accompany my breakfast. Everything tasted really good and really fresh. All members of my group were happy with their food choices. I would recommend this place and come here again when visiting Cork. Note: #264 of Yelp 100 challenge for 2016

I ordered some florentine eggs with a cappuccino and my friend ordered an orange juice with Royal eggs and some side ( bacon and sausage) it was really good and fulfill BUT it was really long to be serve which was a bit sad. We waited more 20 minutes to be served and it seemed like the waiters weren't really well organized. Anyway it was good food and we will go back for sure

"Sea bass" served with a nice pomegranate mango topping, fried half potatoes and steamed vegetables. Both were good. Murphys beer on tap for those tired of Guinness. Service efficient but not chatty. Ambiance is pretty plain. Nothing special. The music is American country, which is a little odd. Food was the highlight.

We chose the alfresco option. We started with an order of oysters and a a bottle of Little Eden Shariz from eastern Australia. It was was smooth, with a nice nose and a smooth finish. The ostyers were amazing, just wish I could have had my horseradish and Tabasco sauce with them. The sea bass was very good and I really liked the mango pomegranate salsa which is unusual for me as I would normally not even taste such a concoction. The salsa was tasty and paired very well with the sea bass. The side salad was difficult to eat. The cup was small and spillage was inevitable. The service was good with one exception, the bill for dinner was never brought to the table, after waiting for a while, I went in and paid the tab. Prehaps that's a cultural thing. Prices were moderate-high. All in all an enjoyable but it did not rise to the level of five star.

The second night I had an appetizer of seafood chowder and the John Dory fish. The cheese cake was unique, , very satisfying taste of cocoa, and the crunchy and gritty texture really felt like Ferrero Roche. For the other dishes I found something interesting. The prawns and crab sandwiches tasted standard, but the oily sauce (prawns) and the sweet and sour puree (crab sandwiches) had exquisite flavor that made one want to finish them all with a piece of bread (which I did). On the other hand, the John Dory was nicely done, texture spot-on, juicy and savoy flavor, but the white sauce looked broken and watery, and the taste was a bit on the bland side. In general I enjoyed my experience, but I wonder if they could match the quality of the sauce and the main ingredients better :)
