Good Day Deli

Good Day Deli is a modern and stylish restaurant tucked away in a beautiful hidden garden, which gives the place a truly special and relaxing atmosphere. It’s open for breakfast, brunch and lunch — making it a perfect spot at any time of the day. I visited for breakfast and was impressed by the excellent vegan options available. The dishes were beautifully presented, flavorful, and clearly made with care. The service was friendly and attentive, and even the desserts were delicious. A charming location with great food and a welcoming vibe — definitely a place not to miss when in Cork.

We had a lovely meal at Good Day Deli – a hidden gem tucked away amidst lush greenery. The setting is beautiful, with the outdoor seating area offering a peaceful escape and a close connection to nature. The food was absolutely delicious and great value for money. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, checking in regularly to make sure we had everything we needed. The calm, serene atmosphere makes it a perfect spot to unwind away from the city’s hustle. We’d definitely love to return sometime!

Nano Nagle Place was a really pleasant surprise. It’s this calm little spot right in the middle of Cork, with a beautiful garden, peaceful atmosphere, and a great mix of history and modern design. The restaurant there is cozy and stylish with big windows, lots of natural light, and a laid-back vibe. It’s quit a pricy place, but really nice one. Great for a quiet break, especially if you're already visiting the museum or just want a chill place to eat in Cork without the usual noise. Definitely worth dropping by if you’re in the area.

Elegant cafe in the grounds of Nano Nagle Place. I had a delicious Buddha Bowl, the weather was sunny, the gardens lush and green, the service excellent! I’m an Aussie, so I do wonder if the “Kiwi Lamington”, though!!

If you are willing to spend a bit more than the usual price for a breakfast, you can have a truly delicious experience here. Like chef-level type of experience. Not to mention that the place is spacious and luminous, the views are fantastic, the service is top-notch, and you can have a lovely walk through the gardens (and the nun's cemetery too). And learn some history.

I enjoyed my visit to Good Day Deli at Nano Nagle Place. However, the high prices of the dishes were unexpected. I ordered the fish tacos on their weekend lunch menu. It was served with homemade chips and accompanied with a herb aioli where there was a choice between herb and chipotle aioli. The fish tacos were delicious and the chips were cooked perfectly and just like how I would cook chips at home, not overly greasy. The aioli tasted great too and I ended up dipping my chips into it. The staff were kind and very knowledgeable about the menu. The atmosphere was superb, sitting indoors was like being in a log cabin in the middle of a nature reserve full of plants and trees outside. Over €20 for fish tacos did startle me at first, especially given that main dinner courses at restaurants around Cork are usually around this price nowadays. However, the local supply of ingredients and friendly service justified this cost. I was surprised to find a seat on this day because within minutes of me sitting down, the shop was full and a queue was at the waiting area. I would recommend making a reservation on weekends if you are concerned about having to wait around peak meal times. I would highly recommend Good Day Deli if you are in Cork city looking for lunch or a meal prepared from local ingredients, surrounded by nature. Just be prepared for a big bill.

Really beautiful place in gorgeous gardens. Not very well signposted so was slightly difficult to find. Food was beautiful and quick to arrive! Heaven for gluten free and veggie people. It was super loud inside though so we had to raise our voices to talk. One main downfall was the only option for plant based milk was oat which isn't gluten free so I couldn't have a proper coffee :(

Good food, good location, great service, what more could you want? This café/restaurant is located in the courtyard of a former monastery, accessible via some rather steep stairs. But climbing them is worth it, because Good Day Deli is a true gem. The small and modern hut offers indoor and outdoor seating, and as it was a sunny day, sitting outside in the sun was the best possible option. The brunch menu is rather small, but I'd say you'll definitely find something here. I opted for the pancakes that come with a hibiscus poached pear and coconut mascarpone. Not a big coconut fan but in combination and moderation it was good, and the pancakes were great. Wasn't too impressed with the price of their coffee, though. I was recommended to try this place by locals and it was the very first thing I did after arriving in Cork. Go and try their brunch, it's really an experience!

Good Day Deli is located in the heart of Cork City but hidden in a convent yard where there are exhibits of Nano Nagle. It is so secluded you would actually never think that you are in a vibrant city. The gardens are just beautiful with an array of wild flowers & serenity. We sat outside to have lunch with a glass of beautiful wine. The staff were unobtrusive but efficient. We had a stunning summer salad of green peaches & Burrata which is made on a local farm. The whole experience was outstanding. Do not miss.

Beautiful atmosphere, most peaceful spot in Cork! delicious Vegetarian Food. I look forward to coming bac.

Expectations were possibly too high.... But I was super disappointed by the dry Lamingtons (which I have fond memories of from Australia). But otherwise was good. Mains were interesting, sustainable, well presented and healthy. Plus beamish cake was good. The bruschetta with caramelized apples was good. The fish tacos were the biggest disappointment (second even to the lamingtons). The tortillas themselves were stale and had a high mayo base. The fish was excellently battered and gorgeous. Would recommend removing the "taco" title and turning it into a fish and chips / salad w/ slaw. Because something further from a Mexican taco hard to find. But based on the Irish rave reviews...perhaps it's okay for the audience. Anyway, lovely cafe and will be back for the gardens. Lots of vegan and vegetarian options. Also, the paprika fries are the absolute winner overall. The lemon roulade looked gorgeous....but didn't try it. So did the pancakes w/ poached pears. Lots of options

Had the most amazing brunch there today! The location is beautiful and the food was absolutely delicious! The menu is rather short but everything sounded great, so it was actually hard to decide. I tried the 'hibiscus poached pear pancakes' and they were to die for! My friend had the vegan trio and a vegan cake afterwards and was more than happy about it as well. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. All in all, I highly recommend this beautiful café!

I've heard so many things about this place and it really didn't disappoint. From the gorgeous location, to the beautiful seating (inside and outside). The food is so thoughtfully presented and the staff are lovey, too. The menu constantly changes so you just really can't go there enough!

Really wonderful place. Great service and atmosphere, awesome food with vegan and veggie options.

This is the best kept secret in cork. I highly recommend a visit. The food is absolutely gorgeous the location is 5 star and the staff are amazing.
