Friars Walk Tavern in Cork

18/04/2025: Setting is great … outside seating area was really dirty … 10 minutes with a brush and pan .. Once inside you learned why, as 2 staff on duty were in a bad mood as was indicated by their scowling nature as you were served REALLY GOOD FOOD AND COFFEE . They were not taught the golden rule in customer service .. leave your personal problems outside the door when you come to work. … you are here to be polite to your customers and make their visit a pleasant occasion … after all they are paying your wages. Hello and thank you in short supply

04/04/2025: Today, I picked up a loaf of classic sourdough bread (ancient grains) from this bakery, and I have to say - it was absolutely fantastic! The crust was beautifully golden and had the perfect crunch, while the inside was light, airy, and wonderfully chewy. The flavor had that perfect balance of subtle tanginess and deep, rich wheat notes that only a well-fermented sourdough can achieve. It was clear that a lot of skill and patience went into making this bread. Whether enjoyed on its own, with butter, or as the base for a great sandwich, this sourdough was simply top-notch. I’ll definitely be coming back for more!
