Royal Palace in Cork

07/01/2025: Lovely spot in Cork for some great quality food. I've been to the quay coop grocery many times and finally had the chance to try the restaurant upstairs. The place is quite spacious yet cozy, especially with the fireplace going and the big windows that let in the beautiful winter sun. A beautiful selection of vegetarian and vegan dishes , including a variety of drinks options and desserts. I had the quiche, tomato and lentil soup, and the barley drink. Everything was delicious and great portions, and reasonable prices given the quality and flavour of the ingredients and the generous serving sizes. The quiche was especially filling . Everything tastes fresh and homemade and I love that you can see the kitchen in the back. I liked the barely drink and would have it again, and I would recommend it if you want to try something other than coffee. For dessert, I had the avocado chocolate tart. If you're a dark chocolate lover,like myself, you are going to fall in love with this tart. It is luscious and decadent but not too heavy. It really leans into the dark chocolate richness, and it is the perfect level of sweetness for me. It is a good dessert to share due to its richness, or to save it for later. I highly recommend the restaurant, and I will definitely be back. Not only was the food lovely and the space and staff inviting, but I support the quay coop principles and the causes they stand with ✌️.
