Good Day Deli

We had a lovely meal at Good Day Deli – a hidden gem tucked away amidst lush greenery. The setting is beautiful, with the outdoor seating area offering a peaceful escape and a close connection to nature. The food was absolutely delicious and great value for money. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, checking in regularly to make sure we had everything we needed. The calm, serene atmosphere makes it a perfect spot to unwind away from the city’s hustle. We’d definitely love to return sometime!

Nano Nagle Place was a really pleasant surprise. It’s this calm little spot right in the middle of Cork, with a beautiful garden, peaceful atmosphere, and a great mix of history and modern design. The restaurant there is cozy and stylish with big windows, lots of natural light, and a laid-back vibe. It’s quit a pricy place, but really nice one. Great for a quiet break, especially if you're already visiting the museum or just want a chill place to eat in Cork without the usual noise. Definitely worth dropping by if you’re in the area.

If you are willing to spend a bit more than the usual price for a breakfast, you can have a truly delicious experience here. Like chef-level type of experience. Not to mention that the place is spacious and luminous, the views are fantastic, the service is top-notch, and you can have a lovely walk through the gardens (and the nun's cemetery too). And learn some history.

Elegant cafe in the grounds of Nano Nagle Place. I had a delicious Buddha Bowl, the weather was sunny, the gardens lush and green, the service excellent! I’m an Aussie, so I do wonder if the “Kiwi Lamington”, though!!

Good food, good location, great service, what more could you want? This café/restaurant is located in the courtyard of a former monastery, accessible via some rather steep stairs. But climbing them is worth it, because Good Day Deli is a true gem. The small and modern hut offers indoor and outdoor seating, and as it was a sunny day, sitting outside in the sun was the best possible option. The brunch menu is rather small, but I'd say you'll definitely find something here. I opted for the pancakes that come with a hibiscus poached pear and coconut mascarpone. Not a big coconut fan but in combination and moderation it was good, and the pancakes were great. Wasn't too impressed with the price of their coffee, though. I was recommended to try this place by locals and it was the very first thing I did after arriving in Cork. Go and try their brunch, it's really an experience!
