Greenwich – Cork City, Ireland

We wanted to check out the food scene in Cork City, so we checked out a little café called Greenwich.

This cafe was very small inside. It was packed and they squeezed as many people as they could inside.

One of the sandwiches that we heard was famous in Cork was the spiced beef. So we ordered the Spiced Beef Reuban.  The beef had melted cheddar cheese, homemade Russian dressing, and sauerkraut on toasted pana white yest bread.

The sandwich was large and good for sharing, especially since they gave a large side salad on the side. The sandwich could have used a little more of the spiced beef because it was extremely flavorful.

I also got the Parsnip Soup. It was pureed like other soups I had enjoyed so far. This soup also had a creamy texture. Naturally they served homemade soda bread on the side.

This was a good stop for lunch. Check them out at greenwichcafe.ie/

Enjoy!

Day 3 (continued) – Cork City, Ireland

Our next stop on the tour was Cork City.

Cork City has become known as the culinary capital of Ireland. There is a famous food market that is a must to check out called English Market.

This market has everything you could want from fresh bread, pastries, meats, cheeses, and even fresh, yummy chocolates.

It can be really overwhelming to go in there without a plan of what to look for. There are many places where you can get sandwiches, soups, etc.

After grabbing something to eat for lunch, it was time to get back on the bus and head to Blarney Castle.

Enjoy!
