Healthy organic vegetarian/vegan food in Cork Hidden gem!…read more Food **** Absolutely delicious. We got the special which was a Malaysian vegetable curry with spicy apple chutney. We also ordered the Nut loaf which was an absolute must - one of the best dishes we've had in a while - comes with roasted potatoes and roasted root vegetables. SO GOOD! Atmosphere **** Very cute restaurant located on the second floor of a health food store but has an upscale feel. Parking can be tricky but we got a spot on the street near the restaurant and then you can purchase a parking pass for 2 euro at the food shop on the first floor. Service **** Great service and relaxed. Also bathrooms available. Price $$ Dishes were around 15 euro each.

I couldn't help but to notice the portion differences for the sides. Ours was much less..but anyways, I loved the burger. The coolest thing about veggie burgers is that it is always different. No veggie burger will ever taste the same unless it's not homemade. The choice of toppings and bun was grand too. It seemed like a multi-grain bun. The patty was so rich in flavor. I was not impressed with the Shepherd's pie. It was just a mush of grains. I was expecting something similar to a veggie pot pie. It was good but it was a dish I usually make at home minus the top. The sides were quite natural - quick toss to cook them with minimal seasoning. If you are feeling healthy and not up for extreme flavor, this is a safe choice. Portions are filling and staff are friendly. The restrooms are located upstairs.

Small pork pie's pastry had some slightly overburnt and had spots, but it was crispy overall. The filling was seasoned nicely, but could use a bit more gravy or juice. The blackberry sundae with ice cream was nicely done, silky texture ice cream, sundae was rich in blackberry flavor. Other elements provide a diversity of mouthfeel, but I felt some of them were a bit of nuisance as their textures sometimes did not feel harmonized together.

I am not vegetarian but I was completely satisfied by the end of the evening. We made a reservation the previous day. The restaurant was intimate but casual.

We arrived 30 minutes early for our reservation, and were lucky to be able to get seats at the bar,…read morewhere we were happy to stay so we could eat early. Cork is a place you DEFINITELY need reservations for dinner - it's very busy, and popular restaurants like Orso do fill up very quickly. It was bustling even at 6:30PM, and was great to see a busy and thriving restaurant. The food and service was phenomenal, so good that we chose to dine at their sister restaurants across the rest of our visit to Cork. Highly recommended.

Walking into Orso, we were greated by our wonderful server Gabriella. She has a most friendly and…read moreinviting smile and she was very helpful. Though she was literally the only server for the entire restaurant this evening, she never made us feel rushed and was always patient with every group that came. This is a relatively small space with only about 6 tables inside. There was a large group sitting outside, they probably put together 2 or 3 tables. It's a relaxed place with some beautifully framed artwork on the wall. The menu provides a wonderful selection of Middle Eastern food. We didn't choose any drinks other than the water that was offered. My wife and I shared the Grilled Halloumi salad to start. The salad was delicious and the halloumi was superb. For the entree we both chose the fish of the day, a grilled sea bream with some sort of slaw. The fish was fantastic, prepared perfectly. It had wonderful flavors in addition to the excellent taste and texture of the fish. We ordered a side of sweet pea hummus with pita, which was absolutely delicious. We succumbed to ordering dessert because they too sounded so good. What made them totally special was that birth the Pear Tartin and Mahalabia were flavorful, not too sweet, and we didn't feel stuffed after enjoying them to complete our meal. The fresh mint tea that accompanied dessert was delicious.

I was looking for breakfast this morning in Cork, and I am here for the first time. So I tried to go to Quay and discovered they are not open until 12 on Sunday. I parked at a nearby cafe and waited for the opening time - we'll worth the wait! *1st course: shepherds pie with side of lovely fresh-from-garden organic lettuce and delicious hummus. This was very tasty and foreplay. *2nd course: Savory spicy lentil pattie with Satay sauce (size small). This Savory vegan masterpiece resulted in a food-gasm. It turned into multiples with the *3rd course: chocolate-avocado torte - eyes rolled back and toes curled. You must try this place if you enjoy delicious, healthy fresh eats. Service was also really great, friendly, relaxed place.

Staff are always friendly, helpful, efficient, well informed of the menu & dishes present that day ie they are actually INTERESTED in what they are doing- but the food can be a let down at times! Cumbersome in appearance, (no, I don't mean "rustic") and not very well flavoured or seasoned, one is often left wanting something "more" when finished eating. And it is also slightly over priced, leaving no excuses for the lack of well-rounded flavours that vegetarian dishes both want and NEED to up their "boring" and generally unfortunate reputation!!! Believe in what you stand for, and let it SHINE through your food. It will always speak for itself!

I opted for the regular size of their "tropical" vegan flavor which was a mix of pineapple & coconut. I also got three toppings: Nutella (YES), shaved coconut & chopped hazelnuts. I have never seen Nutella syrup as an option for frozen yogurt & now I know what I have been missing. It was AMAZING & perfect with the chopped hazelnuts. I recommend stopping in & getting frozen yogurt for take away. There is a park across the street you can sit at & enjoy your delicious treat!

You can see all the donuts through the glass exterior and they definitely are as tasty as they look! My wife got the oreo donut I had gotten the "absolutely minted" donut.

We had tried to make it a point to come back the next day, but it just wasnt in our schedule. People, do yourself a favor. If this place is open, definitely stop in for a sweet treat!

It is a little off the main street situated down behind Isaac's but you won't regret finding it. The setting is great with views of a waterfall outside the dining room.

Truly enjoyed the generically named "Beef" dish which was like pot roast slow cooked and fall apart on your fork served with potatoes and carrots We also got the English market chicken supreme which was lovely and we shared a Goat cheese, beet root and apple appetizer which was fresh and tasty can't say enough about how much we enjoyed this meal.

You order at the counter and then they bring the food to you or you can get the food to-go! There were also a lot of people going in and out for deliveries, which is a good sign, I thought, as there are a lot of people eating there, and that means that the food must be very good.
