One of my favourite restaurants in Cork city. Beautiful food, really friendly and lovely staff. The baked Camembert is my favourite thing on the menu, so much so that I got two of them today 😅 One of the things I’ll miss most about living in the city, but we’ll definitely make the trip back occasionally just for Quay Co-Op.

Healthy organic vegetarian/vegan food in Cork Hidden gem! Food **** Absolutely delicious. We got the special which was a Malaysian vegetable curry with spicy apple chutney. We also ordered the Nut loaf which was an absolute must - one of the best dishes we’ve had in a while - comes with roasted potatoes and roasted root vegetables. SO GOOD! Atmosphere **** Very cute restaurant located on the second floor of a health food store but has an upscale feel. Parking can be tricky but we got a spot on the street near the restaurant and then you can purchase a parking pass for 2 euro at the food shop on the first floor. Service **** Great service and relaxed. Also bathrooms available. Price $$ Dishes were around 15 euro each.

First time upstairs in the restaurant for lunch which was open plan but kept the old features of this building. Shared a small Mezze Board which was fresh an tasty. The Pitta Bread came out warm which completed this excellent light bite!

Their market with all organic options is simply awesome! Really good €1.00 options for those short in cash (like me :)). Their restaurant offers tasty options as well, although a little pricey. The environment is cozy. Attendants are very attentive. I want to go again.

Affordable vegetarian food in nice café surroundings (5/5 green stars) The Quay Co-op store has a small deli counter that at first we thought was the restaurant, but they directed us to go two doors down and upstairs to the main restaurant. Whether you’re vegetarian, vegan, or just want to have some cheap healthy food, I’d say it’s well worth a visit. It’s a very cheerful space with some great art on the walls, friendly staff, and a good selection of main courses and desserts (and a few wines too). It’s quite like Cornucopia in Dublin in terms of ordering process, atmosphere, and food selection. I had a lentil patty with tomato sauce and two sides for €7 and my brother had a tofu green curry (€11) which also came with two sides. Mine was tasty, although I wasn’t crazy about the tomato sauce, while the green curry was a better choice – it tasted fairly authentic. For dessert I took a trip down memory lane with an apple sponge, which came with a little dish of soy custard – it tasted like 1982 (in a good way!). I’m giving them 5/5 “green stars” for social and environmental impact. It’s a workers’ cooperative that focuses on using healthy vegetarian and vegan ingredients. I believe that many ingredients are organic (they are a member of the Organic Trust) although it would be nice if they provided more information on their ingredient sourcing on their menu and website. They cook their food on-site daily and also have an in-house bakery. The Quay Co-op has long supported the LGBT community in Cork, from the Pride parades to the resource center (The Other Place) to the book launch of Queer Republic of Cork last month. They have a space that’s also used for community events like music and yoga. The Quay Co-op was founded in 1982 as a radical/alternative community project by a collective effort of feminist, lesbian & gay, environmental and other alternative groups and individuals. “A central aim of the Co-op therefore is to ensure that space is provided for minority groupings working for change, who would otherwise have difficulty in organising in the city because of isolation and lack of the necessary support structures.” Interested in writing green star reviews?

Very rude woman on entrance to supermarket. Looked me up and down and made me feel like I was bothering her for asking a question. Shame as I am vegan and would like to shop there but wouldn’t want to spend my money in the shop after feeling so uncomfortable and unwelcome. (I also noticed the dirty look she gave me on my way out). 🫠

The food was very good, lovely staff.

Great vegetarian vegan food. I got the Buddha bowl and chips and a latte. The portions are large and they will box up leftovers to take home, a rarity in Europe. Can't wait to return

Quay Co-Op Cork - Warmed Vegan Wrap (inc Avocado) with carrot & courgette salad with dressing plus chickpea salad plus a cup of mint tea. €12.25. Wrap and c&c salad superb. cs salad not so tasty, €2.40 for a teabag and mug of hot water a bit much (perhaps it’s just me) Overall 4 stars. 5 stars for wrap and cc salad

The best place in Cork City to have vegan, veggie and gluten free meals. The food is delicious and the staff amazing. Highly recommended.

Delighted we stumbled across this gorgeous restaurant. Situated in a beautiful and historic building right on the bank of the Lee with delicious vegan food (Cornucopia in Dublin could learn a lot from these guys). Lovely views from a table by the window. Top class experience

unfortunately the restaurant wasn't open but the products that their shop offered, definitely exceeded my expectations. the diversity of vegan snacks, milks, yogurts, drinks as well as freshly made healthy sandwiches, oven baked goods etc., made me walk around the shop for 20 minutes to make a final decision what to eat (i wanted to buy everything). PS. THEY ALSO HAVE ALOE VERA LEAVES!!!

Quay Co-op in Cork is a fantastic health food store! Love their organic produce, vegan options, and eco-friendly products. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly. A go-to place for anyone seeking healthier and sustainable choices.

Always a great place to have food while in County Cork. We were down over the Bank Holiday weekend and just always stop here before travelling to West Cork. Love it all. Such a treat.

Just gorgeous food in a lovely setting with nice views, will be back. Easily in top3 lunches in Cork!! Service was lovely, too!

Really decent veggie and vegan restaurant in a lovely setting. We had the lasagna and the enchilada (with the best guacamole I've ever had), and the frangipane tart. It was all delicious, with generous portions - good coffee too. It's a nice relaxed atmosphere, and the staff were friendly and good fun.

Love the new vegan afternoon tea option. What a selection of food, olives, nuts, artichokes peppers , hummus, bread ,wraps, scones with vegan cream and jam and a selection of cakes. Incredible and all delicious. beautiful setting and lovely staff.

What a lovely little vegetarian restaurant! We always get their Mediterranean pizza and it tastes exactly the same every single time! Very delicious food:The staff are always so welcoming. Its a heaven for vegetarians

A very unpleasant experience. Despite the fact that I am exempt from wearing a mask on my face and wanting to present the appropriate letter, I was asked to leave the store. My leg won't stand there anymore ... I used to be a regular customer ...

Good and cleaned food! A nice ambience and view. And amazing team on floor! Cheers! 👍👌👏

Vegan burger bap thing absolutely delicious. Flavour! They have tables in the back. Staff are lovely. Lots of veggie and vegan options. And as its also a little supermarket you can pick up a few interesting veggie/vegan thing on you way out.

This is review on food store where is a moldy food, insufficient supply of bottled water. moldy quiche, and within a week of the visit, also a moldy box of prepackaged salad greens. They sell expired and rotten food here. A truly disgusting and appalling experience. Part of the staff unpleasant

I've loved this place ever since I came to Ireland over 30 years ago. If you want true vegan food this is the place to visit. I usually just eat downstairs in my lunch time where there is a great selection of goodies both savoury, and sweet. I haven't tried the shop yet but plan to at some time. The prices are so good too!

Today my wife and I had a most wonderful lunch at quay co-op. The food was very tasty beautiful presented and friendly staff. The atmosphere in the restaurant is pleasing. When we had finished our lunch I felt happy. We most definitely will be back. Thanks so much .

Staff was extremely welcoming. And the food was beyond marvelous. I'm not a vegan, but this place made me rethink my options. Would go here anyday. If you are a vegan, this is the place to go for a fancy dinner without a second guess.

This place is so cozy that I would refer it to everyone. Good place and good food.

Great venue to hold a meeting, which we did recently in the Pawnbroker's Office at the top of this lovely building. Really nice space to be in, lovely light and very well looked after by Tom with delicious tea/coffee and biscuits all supplied. Also so handy to be able to go downstairs to the restaurant for a tasty vegetarian lunch, which all those attending the meeting really enjoyed. Would definitely recommend it as a meeting space.

Food was fabulous, service wonderful everyone working here are so lovley. The shop has an amazing selection of products.
