Crawford Gallery Cafe Tea Coffee and Cake Menu 2017
Crawford Gallery Cafe
Situated at the entrance to one of Cork City's cultural and historical landmarks, The Crawford Gallery Cafe is a veritable oasis of calm, existing between the bustle of a vibrant city centre plaza and the cocoon of the city's art gallery.
The ambience of the cafe is both informal and understated, yet redolent of an elegant urban bistro. Muted tones; a light-filled, airy space; and regularly changing works of art convey the atmosphere of the gallery through to the cafe. Large pots of scented sweet geranium and lemon balm sit comfortably in the deep-set windows, and an eclectic mix of fine-bone china and refurbished bistro chairs create a unique space. A natural meeting spot in the heart of the city, The Crawford has been host over the years to many Corkonian family celebrations – weddings, birthdays, and even engagements. From the ladies of Cork to trendy art students, business professionals, or tourists, the cafe offers something to everyone – a creative space in which to linger over coffee; the perfect spot for afternoon tea; or a lunch venue with a difference.

Daroka Restaurant Ballybunion Menu 2017
Daroka Restaurant
Daroka is our first restaurant, the concept has been with us now for quite a while – real food, real simple.
Real food in the sense that we want to be truly conscious of where our ingredients come from and how they were produced. We also go a little further in that all the honey here at Daroka is from our own bees, most of the fruit used is grown specifically for us, as well as a lot of the vegetables. We are extremely lucky to have a poly-tunnel and fruit garden quite local and we also want to add livestock to the mix in a little while.
Real simple – this is actually quite hard to achieve, and this is why the ingredients have to be the best. One saying we try to live by is that you can’t hide behind simplicity. If you have three ingredients on a plate, then all of them have to be perfect, you can of course just cover the whole lot with a generic sauce, but that dear reader is what we avoid at all costs.
