EAT
I suppose the name of the site is a bit of a giveaway…. I love to EAT, I love to COOK and I love a bit of food porn! Starting this section on the website to showcase the gorgeous places to eat and drink around Cork City, County and beyond and will add some recipes or sites I find useful to find inspiration. Whether you fancy a date night or a family friendly cafe or restaurant I will be sharing my experiences with you so that hopefully it will help you plan a day/night out in the not so distant future.
If you wish to feature please contact me.
In no particular order……..
Cafes which I love and some have play areas
