Cafe Paradiso in Cork

Was one of the best dinner in my life!!!

Cork long standing and outstanding Vegetarian restaurant, met sister and friends who are regulars for first visit, the ambience and dining room is intimate and warm, the welcome and service from the team is incredible, the sommelier guides you through a very well curated and delightful choice of wines with tough choices to be made with helpful and insightful suggestions and then of course the food, beautifully fresh and seasonal ingredients combined and cooked perfectly and paired with fantastic sauces that demand to be eaten and mopped up with the light and tasty bread provided, the set menu has a wonderful array of textures, hero vegetables and presentation is first class. I would definitely recommend the whole experience, food, wine and wonderful service Dave and the team provide for all customers, great job and thanks Team Paradiso 😃

Absolutely exquisite dining experience. Savoured every last bit of every single plate! Thank you chefs and staff for wonderful evening

I can't rave enough about our culinary experience at Paradiso in Cork! This restaurant not only exceeded our expectations but delivered a true masterpiece of creativity and finesse. From the moment we stepped inside, the unique atmosphere enveloped us: warm, welcoming, yet modern and stylish. The service was simply flawless – incredibly attentive, friendly, and passionate about what they do, which was evident in every detail. The food was absolutely incredible. We had the pleasure of enjoying the vegan and gluten-free tasting menu with wine pairing – and what a discovery it was! In Ireland, it's not often you find a restaurant that delivers on these requirements with such creativity and finesse. Every dish was a true work of art – fresh ingredients, harmonious flavors, and surprising combinations that never ventured into the realm of “ordinary” or “run-of-the-mill.” The aperitif that welcomed us was the perfect introduction to what was to come: sparkling, refreshing, and beautifully balanced. The first course of the menu was a creative interpretation of local seasonal ingredients, prepared with such attention to detail. It was a true taste experience! What really stood out was how each dish was not only vegan and gluten-free, but also didn’t compromise on flavor or texture in any way. Another highlight was the wine pairing, which was perfectly matched to each course. The wines we were served were exceptional, and they complemented the food’s flavors in a stunning way. The sommelier truly knew his craft! But what really made this experience special wasn’t just the fantastic food – it was the heartwarming atmosphere and the exceptional staff. You immediately feel welcomed, like you’re part of the Paradiso family. The passion and dedication of the team to great food and excellent service is truly infectious. In Cork, it’s rare to find a restaurant that offers such high-quality vegan and gluten-free options in this level of creativity and excellence. It’s clear that Paradiso goes far beyond the typical restaurant experience – it’s a place where food becomes a true experience. Absolutely recommended! This restaurant will definitely become one of our favorite spots in Ireland. If you dine here, you can be sure you’ll have an extraordinary time – both gastronomically and in terms of service and ambiance. Final Thoughts: If you’re in Cork, don’t miss Paradiso – a true gem of Irish gastronomy!

Incredible food and lovely staff, as always :)

If you'd told me the best vegan dining experience I'd ever experience would be in Cork I'd not have believed it. So glad we took the time, I was blown away. I'll be thinking about this meal forever.

Highly recommended! Great experience! Very tasty vegetarian dishes!

Thoughtful tasting menu, entirely vegan menu option as well.

Absolutamente increíble comida. Realmente disfruté de cada plato desde los nuevos sabores y texturas. El personal nos explicó cada curso y fue excelente. Me encantó el hecho de que los cursos están diseñados en torno a productos frescos y locales que están en temporada en este momento. Recomendamos encarecidamente este restaurante y sin duda volveremos cuando estemos en Cork. Como no vegetarianos, calificaríamos esta como una de las mejores experiencias gastronómicas que hemos tenido. Gracias Paradiso.

¡Wow! Comida brillante. Me encantó - y NO soy vegetariano. Estábamos celebrando un cumpleaños redondo, así que empujamos el barco y combinamos comida y vino... una gran experiencia. Personal muy amable pero profesional. . . . me encantó
