I have never stayed or eaten at the Cafe Paradiso. In fact, I have never been to Ireland, but it is one of the places i must visit in my life, and whenever I get the chance to go to Cork, I’ll definitely drop in!
Absolutely wonderful food. Fantastic flavours, beautifully presented. Excellent service in really warm and welcoming surroundings. I forced myself to have two puddings, both of which were superb (brioche bread and butter pudding and licqourice icecream). Will definitely recommend and come back. Best food I’ve had on this trip to Ireland. Please come and open a restaurant in Reading.
We started renting a cottage in Ireland four years ago, and (thankfully!) discovered Cafe Paradiso then. Where would we be now without our annual pilgrimage to you for a feast?! I am delighted to say that my latest birthday present is a promise of staying in your new rooms, which has had me smiling for days…we look forward to booking in the new year.
The best food I’ve ever had was here, at Paradiso. I no longer live in Cork, so there’s no dropping in, but I just can’t wait for my son to come visiting from Sweden – so I can take him for a meal to really remember! Thanks for keeping it up!
Shhhhhh…must whisper this just in case too many people hear my eulogy about your wonderful little place tucked discretely away on the waterfront. Truly, we felt that we HAD visited Paradise when we spent one night at Cafe Paradiso. Everything about it from the genuine warm welcome, the understated professionalism, the distinctive and delightful bedrooms, and above all, food prepared and cooked in heaven. Many thanks to you both and all the lovely staff. We shall return!
love the new site, and the new rooms look incredible too!
I still look back fondly on my memories of Cafe P, and hope to come back at some point as I can’t get all those amazing meals out of my mind. Still looking for a Canadian equivalent but something tells me I’ll just have to save up for a plane ticket!
