Just had Sunday lunch for three people at les gourmandises in Cork City and found it a wonderful experience, and I like the slate ‘plates’!! I have also been to this restaurant for dinner and it was an equally good experience for everyone. While I agree that the portion size is not huge, the combined courses and the beautiful bread was more than enought for us all. We found the staff very welcoming, attentive and pleasant. It was my husband’s, who we were treating for Fathers Day, first visit and he said it was up there with the best meals he has had (and we have eaten all over the world and in michelin restaurants). We had three glasses of champagne followed by starters (3) mains (3) desserts (3) coffee (4) two large bottles of sparkling water and a bottle of wine - the bill came to E131.00 which we thought was excellent value for a delicious and faultless meal. Far from feeling ‘ripped off’ we left feeling a sense of ‘occasion’ was had and that money was well spent!

Not sure what all these reviewers are on about - yes it was expensive but ate there on saturday night and with 2 glasses of Prosecco to start, bottle of nice red and 3 courses each (not the market menu either). it still came to 40 euros less than star anise. So didnt feel ripped off, the slate was a bit pretentious alright and portion size small to average (but was expecting this). total came to 130 euros. Very good overall, would recommend.

Grossly disappointed after a meal here last weekend. Service left us feeling as if we were privileged to be allowed dine in their establishment. Food tries hard, but no better than plenty are doing in Dublin on a regular basis at much more reasonable prices. Shall not return.
