RAYMOND'S Raymond's Restaurant, situated on the road into…read morethe well known Jameson Experience, was the venue for lunch today. Great reception from eh staff and, more importantly, we had a terrific meal. Started off with a fine mushroom soup, the real thing, served with decent bread. Main course (€14.50) was a combination of hake and an herbed John Dory, with a Lemon Hollandaise sauce. The fish was very well cooked indeed as were the accompanying vegetables, giving us a very pleasing top notch combination, which went down well with a glass of Sauvignon Chardonnay (€5.00). We were out for the day, so dessert was ordered. I thoroughly enjoyed my date and butterscotch pudding and the seasonal fruit roulade was also excellent. Two cups of coffee finished off a lovely relaxed meal. It was very well done indeed and I would have no hesitation in heading there for an evening meal. http://www.raymonds.ie 021 4635235

You walk in and you feel right at home. You can tell that everything is made from scratch and most likely DOES come from a farm nearby. Hubs and I started with an incredibly creamy and delicious seafood chowder- studded with oodles of fresh fish, and then moved onto a Scallop Salad with bacon and other tasty morsels. So divine. Though we're not big dessert people, the Irish seem to love it and there is a huge table of desserts right in the front of the restaurant that beckons you. We caved and ordered the creamiest, most decadent and lovely lemon pie tart that I have ever had. I am pretty sure they must add cream to the filling just for fun. I mean, it's Ireland and they add cream to everything. So. good. Go here. Eat and be happy. Have dessert. You won't be sorry.

The decor is really nice and the place looks fancy, I think taking a date here wouldn't be a bad idea. The problem I had was it was so damn hot in there. Like turn the ac on. I get that its normally a little chilly at night but the resturant is on the second flopor and in a warm night its sweltering. I felt disgusting sitting at the table I think having a cooler environment might have tip this to having another star.

"THE BEST FULL IRISH IN THE COUNTRY!!!!"…read more 5 Stars. Five. If I could give more I would. If you love breakfast, you need to take a trip to Midleton, Co Cork. At The Pantry, you'll be served what can only be described as The most serious contender for BEST FULL IRISH IN THE COUNTRY!!!! This is not something I take lightly. I have enjoyed far too many a Full Irish's up and down our fair island...and I'm not joking - SO MANY breakfasts. But never have been inspired to put my feelings about any meal in writing...nevermind post them online. Until now. I first wandered into The Pantry just over a year ago looking for a breakfast...we were met a smile and welcome from Gordon who runs the show. He was quick to find us a comfortable table with plenty space for our buggy (a high chair was available but we didn't need it) and to bring us some tea and coffee (both great by the way). We each ordered the Full Irish. Breakfasts are cooked to order and service is efficient and attentive. Food arrived in good time. Respectively, each item on each plate was cooked perfectly. Food was out of a frying pan and not a deep fryer. Each meal came with tea/coffee and toast...as it should do. We got to speak with Gordon after our meal. He told us about his experience running the The Pantry, about how they bake their own bread daily, about all the different local suppliers..for the sausages, for the bacon, for the pudding, etc. The Pantry is a bright and welcoming cafe/bistro serving a tempting variety of foods throughout the day. Go for a coffee and a cake of go for The BEST FULL IRISH you're ever likely to be served...go for the welcome alone...just go. FIVE STARS. 5! Following that, and in the interest of a fair and impartial review, I should mention the negatives: Each time I visit, I can't help but be reminded of the fact that I live 161 and a half miles away (260km)...and I can never help but think about how long it might be before I'll be able to get another breakfast here. That's me. That's my review. Cheers Gordo. You're the man.
