This small restaurant serves up fantastic, authentic tapas - Patatas bravas, chorizo, croquetas, calamares, all delicious, plus a great wine list and very attentive service (as one would expect with only 8 tables!). Tapas isn't what you expect for dinner when in Cork, but forget the Shepard's pie and fish and chips for a night and enjoy a great meal at Feed Your Senses instead.

What a cool place! First of all, it's absolutely huge. There's multiple rooms and bars all with…read moreslightly different vibes. There's a front bar where you can grab food, there's a back bar with a smoking area that sometimes has a DJ, and an upstairs that feels more like a proper cocktail bar - and probably more areas I've yet to explore. The food smelled delicious and I would've totally tried it had I not eaten before. I explored around a bit and ultimately hung out upstairs at the bar. The bartender that night was so friendly! We talked about everything from art to travel to politics. She was the best and made a mean cocktail. Not to mention, the entire place is decorated fantastically. It used to be an old pharmacy and ties in a lot of that history into the decor, including a bar made of old pharmacy ledgers. You could spend so much time just looking around at all the details and exploring each room. I hear it gets pretty lively here on weekends, especially with the college kids, but this particular Monday night was fairly quiet. I would definitely return if I'm ever in Cork again!

When the food came out, we discovered many of our tapas plates also had bread on them. BREAD OVERLOAD. Other than that avalanche of carbs, the food was good.

Another nice thing is that this isn't on the main street so not as much foot traffic walking past, and the environment inside is a nice low light eating experience. The only complaints I have that gives them 4 stars instead of 5 is the service. At first they tried to sit us in some crappy little table, even though they had nicer tables available. We asked and they moved us no problem. And when it came to ordering and serving they were great, but as we finished up our food the server vanished. She never came back to see if we wanted dessert or more drinks, which we would have ordered, and spending more money. We eventually lost interest in more drinks or food, and we eventually had to walk to the counter to get a check and pay. Other than that though, fantastic place and i would eat here again.

I ordered the South Wind cocktail which had amazing notes of apricot and grape but packed a boozy punch.

She told us the menu was tapas style so we order quite a bit! When the food came we noticed the portions were much larger than we were used to for tapas so just an FYI! We started with the oysters, we are from New England USA so these oysters were much meatier than what we are used to, delicious but very filling! The fish tacos were very tasty and the portion size of the fish was very large compared to what we are used to. I would have just gotten the fish tacos if I knew how large they would be. We also got the chargrilled sirloin steak which was very well cooked and the chimichurri sauce was a nice addition. To top us off we did get the house chips with rosemary which were delicious as well. The roasted garlic mayo that accompanied them was very good. The restaurant itself is upstairs from the bar and has a chill vibe.
