Sober Lane in Cork

08/06/2026: Quinlans is the real deal. I visited on a Monday evening about 7.30 and had to wait 10 minutes for a table. It’s very popular for good reason. I had scallops followed by Jake as a main and panna cotta for desert. I was please to find chef had kept the coral on as it is very tasty in my opinion. The hake was very good but I thought slightly under seasoned but I get that’s a personal thing sometimes. The panna cotta was also great texture but I couldn’t taste any rum in it but all plates were beautifully presented. The staff I encountered were helpful and polite and the service was excellent considering they had more people arrive only to have not enough seating. Some waited, some came back later and some left. They do have a list of specials each day and there is a lovely nod to the history of the family business and their fishing boat providing the best fresh fish of course. As you can see my bill was €65 for three courses and two glasses of wine which I thought was about right. Book to avoid disappointment and enjoy 😁

08/06/2026: Beautiful indoor seating. Outstanding service and great food. The Tempura Tiger Prawns were huge and very tasty. They went well with the white wine.
