Nala's Gourmet Cork
Restaurant
👍👍 Food was excellent, service was so warm and friendly, not one bit forced. Felt like you were eating at a friend's house. While the seating isn't top class it is a very minor quibble, nobody goes too a restaurant for the seating. It is B.Y.O. The coconut cake is worth visiting for alone. Once aga...

👍👍 An outstanding little restaurant. I had dinner here on Saturday evening and would say that it was as close to a perfect dining experience as you can get.

Café Marius
Restaurant
🫤 Got two half baguettes with soup advertised for €7 each and two Cokes advertised for €2 each. Bill came to €23.80 instead of €18 - now that’s some service charge! Be careful before you tap your card! We were in a rush and only spotted the overcharge after we had left. Disappointing as we had enjoyed...
