Finally got round to visiting for 2 nights in August – what can I say? I was worried that because I love the books so much I’d be disappointed when I got there – but I couldn’t have been more wrong. Everything was perfect. Thanks for 2 wonderful evenings. #41 · Kylie – Hove

Partner told me to look at the updated site and it looks really lovely as do the new rooms upstairs. Already trying to think of a way to make my partner pay for me to sleep there as well as eat. Still, can’t complain. Coming for lunch at the restaurant soon and really looking forward to it, especially having looked at the menu options at the moment. Yum. #40 · Noelle Mc Carthy – Auckland

Hello all. I visited your cute wee restaurant last July (special occasion) and was absolutely blown away by the amazing food, atmosphere, wine and service. Thank you to Sam, (cheeky but adorable kiwi boy) and to Suzy, (I think she might be Sam’s gorgeous sister) for going the extra mile and making our evening memorable. Recommendations given to us on the food and the wine, (Yay St Claire Sav), were spot on. Hope to see you kids on our return this July. All our love and thanks. Hannah and Benjamin #38 · Fiona Ellis –
Thursday 06 October, 2005 It’s just a week since we left Cork after eating three of the best meals I’ve had anywhere. You’ve got everything just right. The cooking is imaginative, delicious and executed to perfection. The flavours balance and surprise. But front of house is also important and that’s where Bridget shines. She makes you feel like a friend who has popped in for dinner. Finally, at the risk of sycophancy, the staff are great too – they really care about and know about the food. They were so helpful in our attempts to identify English equivalents of those excellent Irish cheeses so we can use the cookbooks properly at home. I acquired two signed books so I can give my battered, annotated copies away and bring more fans into the fold.Can’t wait to return and sample another seasonal menu.

Thursday 06 October, 2005 My partner had told me how out of this world Cafe Paradiso is, but I thought he was exaggerating…. not so! Words simply can’t convey the magic of your food and atmosphere. Paradiso it truly is – this is how food should taste. Thank you!! #36 · Ian Les Paul – BC
Thursday 06 October, 2005 Hi Den and Bridget,Just thought I’d let y’all know, the Hillbillies are on the move again!
We just bought a new farm on the Canadian Prairies. A honkin’ big one!
Still miss you both and your magic restaurant. Believe me there is nothing like it anywhere else!
Take care of each other, hope to see you one day
Love Ian & Kim…
Denis Cotter comments: – Lovely to hear from you. Er…how big? Are you two avoiding each other at opposite ends of the prairie?

Thursday 06 October, 2005 To my delight the other day when I was in my local bookstore, I came upon Cafe Paradiso Seasons cookbook. When I was in Cork 3-4 years ago, I was stunned by the food I had at the restaurant and went back again in my 3 day visit. The cookbook I purchased then was written, of course, for your cooking settings, so this one I can actually try and recreate the beautiful food in it without burning it.Thank you for such wonderful food and now, recipes. Also it’s the first time I have seen the use of pumpkin oil that I have on the shelf and never have used.

Thursday 06 October, 2005 wow!!!! A revalation, one of the best meals I have ever had (twice). A week-end in Cork was transformed, 6 of us had a memorable meal on St.Patricks day. How often do you visit the same place twice on a short city break—-we did, and the 2nd time was even better!!! Thanks so much
