Frommer's Review

Cork adores the effortlessly contemporary creations of sisters Eithne and Jacqueline Barry. Lately, the menu is highly influenced by Mediterranean and Asian ingredients, as seen in main dishes like roast swordfish with couscous and lemon, or the roast brace of quail served on Asian thread noodles. There are also classics like beef Bordelaise and their deservedly famous roast duck with potato and apricot stuffing, a menu staple for 2 decades. The small dining room, whose cheery lemon, tangerine, and green walls are lined with modern artwork, is the perfect backdrop for the buzzy, fresh atmosphere.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
