WOW. What a lovely meal. Creative and very tasty. I have to admit that I am not a vegetarian. Typically, in most restaurants veggies are a nasty side that seems designed as a punishment that must be endured for access to the good bits. So...I went in with very low expectations. Well....the meal at Paradiso was absolutely fantastic. It was not just that everything was of the best quality, and perfectly prepared - which it was. Also, every course was eye candy and creative. For example, one course was a single perfect carrot, accented with bits of two other types of carrot and a carrot sauce. And it was wonderful! So, come to Cafe Paradiso - you will want to eat your veggies.

A refreshing meal and a nice escape from the traditional Irish pub food. Highly recommend this unique experience.

I don't typically frequent Vegetarian restaurants but this one was a very pleasant surprise. The atmosphere here is casual but very sophisticated. Service is 5 stars. Attentive staff, very helpful with suggestions, quick to refill drinks, and they called a cab for us at the end of the night. What more can you ask for. The food is exceptional. Vegetarian Sushi - a mix of tempura veggies and and assortment of sushi rolls with a mix of veggies. Expertly prepared. The portion was excellent. Taste was amazing. I didn't miss the fish at all Sage Risotto- also expertly prepared. It's nice to see attention to the presentation. The taste was incredible. I wasn't a huge fan of the grilled cabbage but it didn't detract from the dish. It's more me not being a fan of cabbage. Limon Paradiso - an assortment of lemon flavored desserts. The frozen lemon meringue ball was off the charts good. Should be it's own dessert.

Details of breakfast from our night's stay. Incredible!

Cafe Paradiso is just that - a little corner of a vegetarian's paradise tucked away in a bustling city. We came across the restaurant nearly by accident, through the Google machine's serendipity while looking for a vegetable farm stay for our Ireland adventure. We've never eaten at a Michelin guide recommended place before, and it was absolutely worth every minute in the car and every euro spent. The food was rich, but not overly decadent; garden fresh, but exciting. And the service was friendly, accommodating, and relaxed. We also stayed the night as part of the dinner/bed/breakfast package, and oh my goodness, the room! The breakfast! Beautifully done, all around. The best night stay we've had on our whole trip. It seems silly to say that one restaurant could make us want to come back to an entire county, but it is true. We hope to be able to celebrate another milestone at this little slice of paradise.

This was, hands down, our favorite restaurant in Ireland. There is a running competition between Dublin and Cork, as to which city is the more authentic foodie haven. My money is on Cork because of places like this. My favorite dish in my month in Ireland was the risotto. It's such a basic dish that feels hopeless unless it is slathered in some sort of unctuous broth (duck, turkey, whatever...), but this version flew to the top of my list. Somehow, they had all of the umami of a great risotto, with both creaminess and a bit of tooth in the rice, YET I never felt grossly full. I tasted every spice that was put in, and I just never wanted the dish to end. Of course we loved the cheese appetizer (that's not terribly difficult), but it did have a layer of craft in presentation and variety that we've only seen a few times in Ireland. The best ingredient was the strawberry in the salad. If you eat the monstrous globes of red in the U.S., you need to order strawberries every chance you get once you cross the Atlantic. Just do it. Rounding this off was a level of professionalism that you desire and expect in Europe (even if you don't always get it), and a really nicely rounded beverage menu. If there was a weakness in this experience, it was the dessert offerings. They were solid, but not quite up to the level of the rest. Do yourself a favor and order extra starters to share if you aren't sure. You won't regret it.

What a fantastic little place. I'm a meat eater, although so are many people on the review list. My meal began with a halloumi starter, fantastic, incredible mixture of tastes and great texture, I had a glass of the malbec to compliment the food, very good. For the main, I had the beetroot risotto, I have to say, some of the best risotto I've ever had and to top it off the service was attentive and the plates were delivered very quickly. Recommended for anyone coming to Cork.

It's funny that one of the world's best vegetarian restaurants is in my very own hometown. Funnier that I'd never been till yesterday, especially as I had been a vegetarian for 14 years. Cafe Paradiso is very famous in Cork, my friend took me there for a 3 course birthday lunch. I started with the blood orange salad, beets and blue cheese. I have no idea how they make a salad burst with so much flavour but it was fantastic. I had the risotto with pine nuts which was also amazing but had a little too much oil and was a little too small. I tried my friend's couscous with feta and butternut squash. I'm not a huge fan of couscous but this may have converted me. Dessert was a decadent chocolate pot and orange cake. Both amazing. This is one place that is definitely worth a visit if you find yourself in my part of the world.

Café Paradiso is a vegetarian restaurant that produces exciting mainstream cooking that even the most committed of meateaters admit to eating every mouthful and it attracts people from all over Ireland - and beyond Ireland. It attracted me because im a hugh fan of Vegetarian food. Café Paradiso specialities incude delicious deep-fried courgette flowers with fresh goats cheese & pinenut stuffing, olive & caper aoili and basil courgettes, every bite i could i enjoyed and wanted more and more. The staff are lovely the food is great what more would a person want. yummmy.

This restaurant is truly one of a kind. My husband and I spent time in Cork, and our bed and breakfast host highly recommended it to us. As vegetarians, it was a definite for us. From the moment we walked in, the experience was impeccable. Every bite of every dish kept getting better and better. Plan to make a reservation in advance, and make an evening of this wonderful experience! read more

As a vegan on holiday in Cork, I was very much looking forward to Cafe Paradiso. It is more catered towards vegetarians, with only one vegan item on the menu. They get pretty irritated when you as what else you can alter. Maybe it was just our waitress, but we felt hurried and she was irritated with us. She even gave us the wrong dessert, and we didn't complain because it seemed pointless. For the price the food didn't impress at all. You are much better off taking your money to Jacobs on the mall. read more

I'm a firm carnivore, but this place lives up to the hype - a vegetarian restaurant that even meat eaters will love. I had the cauliflower soup, aubergine gratin for entrée, with truffle fries and braised fennel sides, and vanilla ice cream dessert. The aubergine gratin and ice cream were the standouts - both packed full of interesting flavors. The other stuff was good but not amazing. read more

Lets be honest meateaters, there are very few restaurants now that are something completely different; an actual experience. But this is the first time the I can remember where everything was fresh and new and great. The menu will throw you like an unexpected leaving cert exam paper as the panic of not knowing what the dishes will taste like takes hold, but that is why its great- there was nothing on there that I had ever tasted before and every bite was amazing. You know what was also nice? walking into a high-end restaurant and not feeling like it had been designed and staffed by Brown Thomas. The place is very nice and its not cheap, but they have somehow managed to miss out on all the stuff that doesn't really make a difference in the end when the food and service can speak for itself. read more

We came to have lunch (only Saturdays). This place is probably one of the best restaurant I have ever been to. The food is so fresh and tasty. We even thought about getting the books and start making this stuff at home. Two people could have a really good dinner for about 50 Euro in total, which is a bit pricy. It is worth it! read more

The food here is definitely unique and interesting. My friends and I shared a bunch of different dishes - all of which were well seasoned and fresh. I can't say anything stood out at this place, but also nothing let us down. The handmade truffles which were given to me were frozen, which was disappointing. The service also wasn't very friendly, but didn't rush us out as we were one of the last tables to leave the restaurant. read more

My favorite vegetarian restaurant ever! I'm from Boston, but I've been there three times and each time the food is fantastic! Fresh, beautifully prepared, deliciously balanced sauces. A taste sensation in every sense of the word. I'll be in Cork again in March, and going to this restaurant is number one on my list of things to do.

This is a very nice place, the inside is comfortable and the people welcoming and friendly. For having such a large reputation it is not pretentious at all. This is the first vegetarian restaurant I have found during my stay in Ireland, and it was a welcomed surprise. The menu choices were all tempting, very difficult to decide on what to order. After a minor misunderstanding about the order, which can happen, dinner arrived.... and it was delicious. The flavors were not overpowering, but they flowed together and did it beautifully. The presentation was all done, and worth taking in before eating. Whatever minor issues there were in the beginning did not detract from my dining experience, and I would go back again. Even if you're not a vegetarian this is a restaurant worth checking out. read more

Woohoo! As good as it gets! That sums it up. Stuck in Cork on business and asked folks what the best restaurant in town was. They sheepishly said, "this vegetarian restaurant on the way into town." No need to feel ashamed; this was the best restaurant I'd ever eaten in. Hands down. Unique dishes, truly cared for and served beautifully. A warm welcome and great service. So good that, on a later trip, I drove my family down from Donegal, where we were attending a wedding and everyone loved it. I read in the NYTimes that Yelp reviewers consider the 5 best restaurants in Ireland to be in Dublin. That is simply not true. Cafe Paradiso is, if not the best restaurant in Ireland - and it might be, surely in the top 3. No, I take that back. It is the best restaurant in Ireland. read more

My wife and I and our two friends learned of Cafe Paradiso while watching a television show on the Food Network. We had already planned our trip to Ireland (we live in southern California) and decided we had to eat here. The meal was even better than what we saw on TV. The waitress was extremely patient as we asked about everything on the menu. The was one of the best evenings of our two week vacation in Ireland. The sushi was beautiful. My Aubergine with Cashel Blue and accompanied by delicious lentils was fantastic. Everyone loved every bite. As we tasted the assorted lemon themed deserts which were perfect finish to a fine meal some homemade chocolate truffles appeared with our tea and coffee. We found room for them too. read more

I had heard a lot about Cafe Paradiso so was really looking forward to having dinner here. Unfortunately I left feeling disappointed with both the food and the atmosphere. The place is quite nice, the decoration is simple and casual more like a lunch time cafe. The service was average and the food was a mixed bag, some of the dishes were excellent and some disappointing.

A coworker recommended this restaurant and I managed to get a last minute early reservation. The meal was so good was thinking about it for over a year until my next visit to Cork. I called ahead from the USA to ensure I was able to eat there again. Another meal I'll remember for years. I had no idea the overall flavor profile of each dish from reading the ingredients (and looking a few up surreptitiously on my phone) but all have been excellent. You definitely won't miss the animals on the plate (I'm not vegetarian). The restaurant is small and rather austere with dark blueish/gray painted walls and not much else in decoration so don't come for special ambience. I would also buy packs and packs of the flat bread / crackers that are served up along with olives and spiced almonds if I could. So beautifully balanced in flavors. Glasses of wine suggested were lovely with my dishes. Wish I lived closer! read more

Forget vegetarian, vegan, or any other "ism"s or niche categories. Cafe Paradiso is the best RESTAURANT in Ireland. Period. Denis Cotter is a genius. The food is out of this world, the place itself is a fantastic marriage of genuine knock-your-socks-off food and flavours and yet a really welcoming, non-pretentious, homely, easy atmosphere. A wonderful place to have lunch or dinner. It's not cheap, but if you're sceptical buy one of the fabulous books and spend a day trying to recreate just one recipe. There should be government grants for restaurants like cafe paradiso. I'd nearly move back to Cork just so I could eat there more often. I believe they do B&B there now, which is one of my empty Life-Boxes, and it will be ticked. The shame is, if for some reason CF were to close, it has no peer, at least that I am aware of, anywhere on the island of ireland. :( read more
