Sorry! We don't have any recommendations for County Cork right now.
County Cork, home of the famous Slow Food Ireland movement, has become Ireland's top foodie destination. The mecca: Ballymaloe House, where Myrtle Allen pioneered New Irish cuisine and her daughter-in-law, the celebrated cookery author Darina Allen, learned her trade. Adventurous, well-traveled chefs throughout County Cork make the most of the first-rate local specialties: succulent beef and lamb, game in the winter, fresh seafood, and farmhouse cheeses. The best restaurants are not all in towns: even tiny villages might boast a gastropub.
Easily missed, tucked into a quiet lane close to the renowned English Market, Nash 19 is one of Cork's secret gems, popular with locals for its wholesome, unpretentious cooking using local, seasonal ingredients. Highlights include a decadent signature platter that features the best of Cork's artisanal produce. Takeaway meals are available at the deli.
