Goldie in Cork

One of our favourite meals we’ve ever had!! The staff were chatty and knowledgeable, atmosphere was welcoming but occasional and we licked every plate clean🤤 it was also excellent value, with a proper feed for two people, including small plates starters and sides, as well as two cocktails each

Can’t rate this place high enough! What a fantastic experience Everything we had was 10/10 The fish nuggets were amazing and the labneh tartlets were a beautiful palate cleanser The oysters were some of the best I’ve ever had - the granita and dill oil was something I’ve never had before and just tasted perfect! 2 items on the menu weren’t available but the waiter who was incredibly good at his job explained why and what they did have and we went with The Hake and Cod The cod with burre de Paris was amazing but the Hake with the miso butter sauce was probably the best fish dish I’ve ever eaten Desserts amazing - profiterole and white chocolate sorbet Highly recommend and willl return!! Cork needs more places like this

Fantastic dining experience - beautifully crafted menu, delicious and very clearly great quality food. I would thoroughly recommend- the bib gourmand should be upgraded !

I’ll start bluntly by explaining the 3*: In the middle of the dessert course we were served the bill and told we have 5 minutes left. It was the finale of my partner’s birthday dinner, and we had eaten briskly as the dishes came out. As Londoners we are very aware of the importance of turning tables quickly and running a restaurant efficiently. Even so, this was the height of rudeness and left us with a bitter taste of what should’ve been a special evening. As a side note, the table next to us got a kind 20 minute time check which I thought was an appropriate checkpoint. Apart from that, some of the dishes did not impress: The brandade had nothing fishy/salty about it, even though the description was pointing at something bolder in terms of flavour. The schnitzel was exceptional but didn’t need an egg yolk on top - it’s fat on fat, and takes away from the nice texture. In my view this needed a classic lemon wedge to balance the acidity. On the plus side: The oysters were to die for - the granita and the dill made them shine. The leaf salad was wonderful and its crispy capers were inspired. The sides were well proportioned but some of the other small dishes, especially the oyster pate, were minuscule. I think it’s a nice place but overhyped and missing the mark on consistent service. Price-quality ratio isn’t satisfactory. A pity as the concept is smart and promising and I appreciate the commitment to local produce.

A must visit restaurant in Cork

Lovely experience, cosy dining upstairs in goldies...starters were gorgeous fresh, crisp, sharp flavours what u would expect in this establishment....sadly my monkfish was probably 90 seconds overcooked and lukewarm, my companions hake was beautiful and hot...side plates were buxom in there abundance....we shared a panna cotta, didn't taste of too much, oat crumb provided Lovely texture. Maitre D and support staff were lovely. Definitely come back to try more of the local dishes that change daily seemingly....altogether lovely experience 😊

Very good food. All staff very kind and polite. Floor manager explained us about menu. Good to know that they use only local products! The food is very tasty and quality is outstanding. 10/10

At the heart of Goldie is Aishling Moore a maestro and trailblazer fusing incomparable flavours and textures that make her menu’s a symphony for the palate. Impressive list of local wholesome suppliers as passionate about their food culture and products as Aishling and her team are about Goldie. A truly joyous experience and huge thanks to Aishling, Eva and Allen for making Leonard’s birthday so special, we’ve found our favourite restaurant and we’ll be back.

Nos enteramos de esto mientras viajaba y reservamos con antelación, días antes de llegar a Cork City. Cork City no tenía muchas opciones, IMO, pero Goldie competiría incluso si esta fuera una ciudad más grande. El servicio fue muy amable y eficiente. Nos encantó poder ver al chef hacer su magia desde nuestra acogedora mesa. Las mesas están muy juntas, así que pedimos estar en la última mesa de la esquina para poder escuchar mejor. La comida era muy buena y todo lo que pedimos era delicioso. Basados en casi comensales que pidieron otros platos, quedaron igualmente impresionados. Si eres amante de la comida y te gusta ver al chef, este es tu lugar. ¡Reserva con anticipación!
