The 22 Best Restaurants in Cork, Ireland - Eater

"In a city where daytime dining has long had the upper hand, Pigalle’s radical revision into a major culinary prospect was most welcome indeed. This delightful space off the cobbled streets of “Barracka” (in the local parlance), and right next door to its sister establishment, Tom Barry’s, one of Cork’s most iconic pubs, now offers a full menu of delicious dishes based on superb local produce and chef Mark Ahern’s sharp little flavor twists. Highlights include: fresh mussels with ’nduja and seaweed cream and Carrigcleena duck, currently served with seasonal squash and sauteed kale. [$$]" - Joe McNamee
