Brown's Brasserie Cork at Brown Thomas in Cork

I ordered the salmon eggs Benedict with a glass of orange juice on my first visit to this restaurant. Walking in, I was impressed with how lovely the place looked. The décor is modern and stylish, giving it a welcoming atmosphere that makes you want to sit and enjoy your meal. The staff were pleasant and polite throughout my visit, though I did feel they could have been a little more attentive at times. Nothing major, but small details, like checking in more often or being quicker with service would have made the experience feel that bit smoother. As for the food, the eggs Benedict was nicely presented and the portion size was just right for a brunch dish. The salmon was fresh, and the eggs were cooked well, though personally I found the overall flavour quite salty, which took away slightly from the enjoyment. The orange juice was delicious and tasted freshly squeezed, but at €4.50 for a small glass, it did feel overpriced compared to the rest of the meal. Overall, it was a pleasant first experience. I’d recommend.

Lovely menu here always enjoyable, however can’t say the same about the staff. Last three visits they have been strangely rude, so much so that I don’t think I will be returning.
