Balance in Cork

12/08/2026: A good restaurant offering both traditional dishes and Asian and Italian twists. I had breaded cod with mash and vegetables, while my girlfriend had salmon and shrimp tempura. Like most Irish dishes, it was all a bit heavy, but still excellent quality. The fish was fresh and well-fried. The mash tasted a bit coconutty, which was a bit strange with cod, especially if you're used to Italian mash, but it wasn't bad. The staff was very attentive and friendly. We stopped here randomly, and honestly think it's a great place to stop on a road trip. The atmosphere was like a typical Irish diner with horse racing on TV. Not bad!
