Basically a Michelin restaurant except affordable. My new favourite restaurant in Cork. Don’t miss it.

Feels like sitting in your living room when you take a seat. Food is absolutely lovely. Fresh made pasta, fresh sauces. Even the dessert was perfect. If we ever come back to Cork, we love to come back to Sonflour as well!

This is my first time visiting Cork, and I had a really delicious meal.! If any Korean travelers are visiting Cork, I recommend this restaurant. The food is really delicious and the atmosphere is great. However, I recommend making a reservation before you go!

Had an absolutely delicious meal last night including the vegan meatballs, sweet garlic bread, ravioli with vintage sauce, linguini with puttanesca- Everything was fresh, flavors fully developed, cooked to perfection. A true gem in Cork! Highly recommend 👍👍

On our second full day in Ireland, we ventured to the town of Cork, the 2nd largest city in the Republic of Ireland. We had a lot of options to choose from in deciding where to eat as Cork has an absolute wealth of amazing vegan friendly places. While it was difficult to choose, we opted for Sonflour, a completely vegetarian and mostly vegan Italian restaurant in the main shopping area about halfway between the North Channel and the South Channel of the River Lee.
We were blown away with our whole experience there. The ambiance is just so far removed from that which we've encountered locally in the states, it was quaint, charming, rustic and all things in-between. Italian food is one of those cuisines that can be challenging to find vegan options so we were intrigued with the idea of a whole restaurant dedicated to vegetarian/vegan food Italian fare.
For starters, we ordered what I believe to be Focaccia Bread but I forget the ,specific menu name. Being a big fan of seaweed, I had to order their "Better Call Saul..ad" (get it? saul..ad .. salad ... lol :) ) "A small fresh salad, made with local Seaweed, Rocket, Carrots, Cherry Tomatoes, Balsamic Vinegar, Seeds, Truffle oil and Vegan Mayonnaise. Both were absolutely a divine treat on the palate, bursting with flavor, true story!
For our main dish, we both ordered Ravioli, Sandi having ordered the "Vintage sauce - Our Slow Cooked Tomato Sauce made with Fresh Vegetables and Mediterranean, Herbs, Basil Leaves and Evoo" and for me, the "Sunflower’s soul sauce - Homemade Fresh Vegan Pesto, Baked Roasted Potatoes, Cherry Tomatoes and Evoo, Pine Nuts and Edible Flowers". Words cannot hope to do these dishes justice so I'll simply say, the dish melted in our mouths!
For dessert, we chose "Affogato Italian coffee-based dessert. 2 scoops of Vegan Local Vanilla Ice Cream drowned with a shot of our hot Organic Espresso Giuliano". You need simply look at the attached picture to know everything you need to know about how good this was.
We simply could not be happier with our choice of cuisine while in Cork. While we would have loved if we had more time to try other options, Sonflour left an incredibly lasting impression.
