to Mr. Ritter: You want recipes? Buy the book. Dennis Cotter’s cookbook is warm, readable, and very helpful to someone aspiring to get close to the real thing. (though for an American, “gubeen cheese” means nothing). I took the opposite approach; I visited the restaurant and couldn’t leave without the recipes! I suggest you do the same.
My current Uni project is to create a business of my own. I have chosen to open a vegetarian reataurant in one of Scotlands cities. Wondered if you could chuck some facts and figures my way such as the various costs of starting the business. Its all make believe so they dont need to be entireley accurate. Cheers it would be of great help and i chose your restaurant over anyone elses through the reputation you have, even in Scotland.
found you on a websearch before we came , phoned and booked . ate at the paradiso early september , friday night , remember to book ! food wonderful , the best combinations of tastes we have ever experienced . it was even better than the reviews . really nice unassuming place to eat . not ridiculously expensive either . try the quay co op as well , not in the same class of course but filling and cheap !
I agree you need to showcase a few recipes on your site, like Wolfgang Puck or Delia. That’s life these days – anyway you’ll be moving on to new recipes by the time we make them!
Last Wednesday we had dinner at Cafe Paradiso. Never had such great food in such a super ambiance! Unfortunately it was also our last day in Ireland. Thank you all for making our “last supper” such a memorable one. We hope to return one day! Best regards to all of you, from the Double Dessert Dutch ladies.
I moved to Toronto from Cork almost a year ago and despite the thousands of restaurants here, I miss Cafe Paradiso terribly. I’ve had so many memorable heavenly meals there and I can’t wait to go back…
Got the new book – Paradiso Seasons – congratulations Denis on another superb cookbook. Always love eating at the resturant as often as I can. Wishing you, Bridget and all the staff continued success.
