The best restaurants in Carrigtwohill

11/02/2025: Lovely restaurant and food options. Good size portions

02/12/2024: We are a group of friends who regularly meet for breakfast on Sunday morning. Our go-to place used to be Thairish until the owner threw a wobbly one morning. There was approximately 20 of us and to keep us together we moved a number of tables together. The waiting staff had no problem with this and were happy with all of us sitting together. This went on, religiously, for about 6 months. One Sunday the owner approached us in a very rude and aggressive manner saying that we weren’t allowed to move tables together and we weren’t welcome any more. One of our group stood up to the owner and castigated him for publicly embarrassing all of us. The owner retreated into the kitchen. Upon finishing our breakfast we stood up to leave. The waiting staff came over to us to apologise for the situation caused by the owner. Within 30 seconds the owner came over again and ordered the staff away from us. The owner went outside and sat at one of the outside tables. Upon exiting the restaurant the owner passed a disparaging remark to one of our group as we were passing. This remark didn’t go unnoticed and again we confronted the owner. He attempted to rise from his seat however he was advised that if he did it would be taken as an act of aggression. He promptly sat back down again. If there was a problem with the tables being moved then he should have said it to us in a private conversation and not so that everyone else in the restaurant could hear. Unfortunately we will not be returning to Thairish again.
