It's hard to find a nice quiet place with good quality in Cork these days. But the Crawford is a great choice. Good food, nice selection, nice atmosphere. When it's not too busy this is a great place to sit down and enjoy a light meal or coffee and a cake. More

This has got to be one of the best locations for a cafe in the any city; on the ground floor of a municipal art gallery. It has a lovely atmosphere and plenty of charm. The concept here is simple. Good food, fresh ingredients. Therefore the menu isn't very big, however what they do, they do very well. The portions... More

I adore this restaurant and intended to review a long time ago but a part of me doesn't want it to get overly popular. Already on a Saturday there is a queue outside the door waiting to be seated. But that doesn't stop me returning at least once a month. The food served in the Gallery is not fussy or... More

I have lunch here maybe 3-4 times a year when my mother visits Cork. The service is just great, nothing is a problem, lots of smiles etc. We had soup and salad for a starter with lovely brown bread, simple top quality food. For mains we had fish cakes with salad and shepherds pie, both were beautiful. I think the... More

I love this place! I had lunch here last week with a friend. I had a mezze with lovely salad, the everything was lovely and fresh. I had a glass of homemade lemonade with it. I finished my meal with a slice of delicious chocolate cake washed down with a peppermint tea ( made with fresh mint). The service is... More

€11.80 for a full Irish breakfast is crazy! Yes, i know the menu says ... Free range this and local that ... But come on! The place is nice and quaint but if you look deeper you discover where the proceeds from the over-priced menu are going. Apple Mac behind the service area and you can even hear snippets of... More

The cafe is located on the ground floor of the Crawford Gallery, and merges perfectly with its surroundings. It is somewhat elegant with tastefully selected pieces on display, while still maintaing the cosy and welcoming vibe you would expect from a decent cafe. The menu has something for all tastes, is well priced and the food is excellent. The cafe... More
