Conor’s Review Blog

We hold the Cork OpenCoffee meetings every two weeks in Luigi Malone’s in Cork. Many years ago I had dinner in the one in Dublin and had not really enjoyed it but Cork looks like a different kettle of fish.

For a start, the building is just fabulous. Several huge double doors from the al-fresco area to inside. Stunning bar when you do enter. The front has booths and tables for food or coffee whereas the back is more sit-down dinner style.

I have to say they do a great latte and cappuccino. So many places press a button now and give you rubbish but this is top notch stuff.

Many of the attendees also have a scone. Rather than some hard bullet with a patty of butter you get a huge item with butter, jam and whipped cream. Looks delish.

I’ve heard great things about the food so we’ll be heading in en-famille soon to try it out.
