I adore this restaurant and intended to review a long time ago but a part of me doesn't want it to get overly popular. Already on a Saturday there is a queue outside the door waiting to be seated. But that doesn't stop me returning at least once a month. The food served in the Gallery is not fussy or... More

I have lunch here maybe 3-4 times a year when my mother visits Cork. The service is just great, nothing is a problem, lots of smiles etc. We had soup and salad for a starter with lovely brown bread, simple top quality food. For mains we had fish cakes with salad and shepherds pie, both were beautiful. I think the... More

I love this place! I had lunch here last week with a friend. I had a mezze with lovely salad, the everything was lovely and fresh. I had a glass of homemade lemonade with it. I finished my meal with a slice of delicious chocolate cake washed down with a peppermint tea ( made with fresh mint). The service is... More

€11.80 for a full Irish breakfast is crazy! Yes, i know the menu says ... Free range this and local that ... But come on! The place is nice and quaint but if you look deeper you discover where the proceeds from the over-priced menu are going. Apple Mac behind the service area and you can even hear snippets of... More

The cafe is located on the ground floor of the Crawford Gallery, and merges perfectly with its surroundings. It is somewhat elegant with tastefully selected pieces on display, while still maintaing the cosy and welcoming vibe you would expect from a decent cafe. The menu has something for all tastes, is well priced and the food is excellent. The cafe... More

Located on the ground floor of the Crawford gallery in the city centre, the cafe is located in a large, well lit and spacious room with high ceiling and massive limestone fireplace. Befitting its location, it has some varied and interesting, but unobtrusive, pieces of art. The lunchtime ambience is convivial and clearly many of the diners return on a... More

The four of us had lunch at the Crawford and the service was very friendly and super efficient. A high chair was immediately provided for my toddler son and the buggy moved to a corner - no problem or fuss during a busy lunchtime on a rainy Saturday! Lunch options are limited but it's obvious that this is done deliberately... More

Stopped to have lunch here with family. The venue is excellent with a nice old world atmosphere being located within the gallery. The lunch was satisfactory with good ingredients and was well presented. However if we were disappointed is with the somewhat limited menu choice. Other than that is good. More
