Goldie in Cork

With all sincerity, the single best dinning experience of my life! My wife and I traveled to Ireland for our honeymoon and we reserved a table a month in advance. Best reservation we've ever made! The staff are beyond friendly and very quick to assist you with menu recommendations and explanations. The drink selection is very wide but I couldn't stop ordering the Jawbone pale ale, my wife got the palomino wine. We ordered in order of course; The "shiso & seaweed potato crisps, cuinneog ranch" -the "oak smoked mackerel, vindaloo spices, raita & pickled cucumber" - the "pan roasted halibut, sprouting broccoli, chicken and miso butter sauce" and for the wife "pan roasted cod, caramelized chicory chutney, cafe de paris butter" and lasty -the "caramelized white chocolate, kinsale sea salt milk sorbet, buckwheat" and "sangria sorbet." Each course is brought to you individually and each one more delicious than the previous. Everything single plate was beautifully presented and just as tasty as it looks! Absolutely unforgettable experience and could not recommend enough.

I’ve wanted to come here for a while and it definitely lived up to the expectations. We made an early reservation, which made for such a relaxed experience, and honestly, I have no notes. A must-visit when in Cork! Everything we had was amazing, but the plaice with chicken & miso butter was a standout, as were the oysters with cucumber and kimchi mignonette. Every dish was so thoughtfully done and full of flavour. The service was brilliant too really attentive without being overbearing. We could also see into the kitchen, which was lovely as you could see how calm and relaxed the chefs were while still being so meticulous with every dish. An all-round fantastic meal and experience. Couldn’t recommend it enough!

The waitress was great, attentive and explained the menu in detail. The food was underwhelming. Nothing really stood out, starters or the main. The ambiance was ok, despite having to battle fruit flies throughout the evening. Save yourself the journey and look elsewhere.

Perfection - amazing food and wonderful service!! Could not rate more highly.

Exceptional local food, so fresh and delicious. Menu choices were amazing. Will definitely be back.

The best meal I have had in Cork city. Everything was perfect. Great service and setting too. A gem.

Fancy seafood in the city? Look no further. Those Rossmore oysters and the oyster pâte were divine!

We went to Goldie for my birthday, great atmosphere, do book early as the place is small. Fish was prepared well but portion sizes were small. For starters we got the mussel salad and oyster pate which was delicious. Mains monk fish and John Dory and the mash potatoes with cabbage. Both dishes were full of flavour. Dessert was a white chocolate dish which was lovely. Great service at all times. Overall we paid around 110 euro with 2 glasses of wine.

From start to finish this was a brilliant dining experience. As soon as I left I wanted to turn around and go back in to do it all again. We were masterfully tended to by Grace and the food was expertly and exquisitely delicious. Bravo 👌

Second visit and ir was even a better experience. Really tasty food to wake up your taste buds. Will definitly make it our special restaurant.
