The Farmgate Cafe in Cork

Couldn't fault this place , if you have to wait for a table it's worth it.

A great place to eat simple food made with locally sourced ingredients inside Cork's English Market. Super friendly service, a menu featuring dishes like local lamb stew, soups, salads, and sandwiches, complemented by daily specials, including Irish classics such as pork and potato pie or a salad with local trout smoked using various techniques. Colorful, well-balanced, and enjoyable food. Excellent soda bread with butter, and delicious homemade desserts. We didn't get to try the famous lemon tart, but we did have an excellent brownie, a very rustic bread pudding with custard, and a light and tasty apple pie. A very good place.

Lovely place, food was very tasty, nice relaxed atmosphere

Excellent breakfast choice. Cooking produce from the market to create delicious meals

Really nice location and setting, with very friendly staff. The menu is limited but quite tasty.

Love the food, staff and location

Wonderful place. Becoming a go-to when in Ireland's real capital 😉

Lovely coffee and delicious cakes Yum. A little crammed for space outside...yum

This cafe is located on the second floor of the English Market. I had tea and a scone. The price wasn't exactly cheap, but the portion size was substantial and satisfying. The view of the market from the window was also nice. I entered at the same time as a solo traveler and sat next to her. We chatted for a bit, and for some reason, we ended up sharing a scone. Looking back, it might have seemed a bit strange, but at the time, it felt natural. What impressed me even more was the cafe's laid-back attitude. I never really figured out where to pay. The atmosphere made me uneasy, as if I could just quietly leave without paying, so I ended up asking. While worrying too much about the details might make you feel uneasy, that laid-back attitude, along with everything else, made me think, "This is Ireland," and it's something I remember fondly.

Traditional Irish comfort food with a view in the English Market. The lentil pie was a good vegan option! Go after the lunch rush.
