CAFE GUSTO

CAFE GUSTO

Is Cafe Gusto  in Washington Street in a class of its own when it comes to cafes in Cork? Coffee and scones (and more) in the morning, followed by
a gradual build-up though lunch and then into even more substantial stuff late into the evening.

And Marianne and company are always working on something new, something even tastier, a better choice for you. And remember this is one of the few places you can bring your own wine. With its huge choice   and long opening hours, I don't think there is another venue like it in Cork.

My visit this morning was for a cup of coffee and scone and that was served up with a smile and we enjoyed it. And then when Denis O’Mullane arrived on the scene, the talk (sparked by my recent reading of Mark McAvoy’s Cork Rock) turned to bands (Cypress, Mine!, the Frank and Walters, and Ruby Horse) and the connections between them and several Cork restaurants (including Liberty Grill, Currans and the Brick Oven).

Do you know of any others? Must be a post there somewhere!
