The Isaacs hotel also has a restaurant, called Greene's. Like they say themselves under the Cobblestone Arch. The restaurant is overlooking a waterfall, which is floodlit by night. So it's a beautiful sight almost in the middle of town. They serve an early bird menu, especially for the people who want to attend a performance in the opposite theater.
starter : Baked Crab claws with garlic butter, sweet chilli, lime, coriander, served on a bed of oriental egg noodle salad Tiger prawns & asian vegetable springroll on a paksoy timbale with laksa sauce
main : Panfried seabass fillet on pesto new potatoes timbale homemade pork & herb sausage with smoked salmon salsa
dessert : Chocolate mousse
Well what can we say ... perfect. The starters were great. Not only nice presented (we made pictures) but all the ingredients mentioned above were also something you could taste in the dishes. I missed the tiger prawns though a bit to small cut for my taste, although the entire starter was great in taste and again in appearance. The main dishes. The seabass was perfect and the combination with the homemade sausage might appear strange, in fact I think it was but it was very tastefull, great sausage! And a special main course of the day with smoked cod which was really nice. The mousse for dessert was oke, nothing to spectacular though.
We drank a Babich / Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2005 from New Sealand, 13,5% Great taste very nice wine. http://www.babichwines.co.nz
There are a lot of restaurants in Cork. The people over here do have their preference and this was one of them and I must admit a very good choice. We only have two perfect restaurants on the list so next time we're here (January 2006) we'll try them as well
So ever in Cork searching for a good place to eat, go here, make a reservation though, the best restaurants are full all the time.

Are you paying more than $5 / pack of cigarettes? I'm buying my cigarettes at Duty Free Depot and I save over 50% on cigarettes.
