Nádúr Deli: Embrace Nature's Gifts in a Place of Grace
Continental |
Cork's Douglas Street has a new resident, and it's a little gem! Nádúr Deli, the adorable "baby" of the popular Good Day Deli, has sprouted up in Nano Nagle Place. Forget fancy tablecloths – this spot is all about grabbing a delicious bite in a charming, church-like setting (fitting, considering its past as part of a convent!). With just 9 seats inside, Nádúr Deli is all about intimacy. But fear not! There's plenty of space to soak up the sunshine on the outdoor plaza.
Fresh Philosophy, Familiar Favorites
Just like its older sibling, Nádúr Deli champions local, seasonal ingredients. Expect to see class goodies from Hegarty's Cheese and Mealagulla Apple Farm and other local suppliers gracing their menu. They are best known for vegetarian and vegan dishes, with a nod to the pescatarians out there too.
Mornings Made Marvelous
Breakfast is a highlight here, served from 10am to noon. Treat yourself to the Continental, starring the incredible Goatsbridge trout with house labneh, crispy capers (a mini-highlight), and a chorus of pickled goodies. They've got a delightful full veggie option with Hegarty's cheddar instead of the trout.
Alongside their breakfast plates, Nádúr Deli offers a tempting selection of all-day sandwiches. The Mozzarella Focaccia, bursting with Macroom Buffalo mozzarella, pesto, and fresh veggies, is a surefire winner.
Coffee and Companionship
Need a caffeine fix? Nádúr Deli has your back (or should we say cup?) with teas, coffees, and an array of pastries. Whether you're a cinnamon roll fiend or a pistachio white chocolate and blueberry aficionado, they've got something to satisfy your sweet tooth. Plenty of soft drinks are available, including Mealagulla Apple Juice, a favourite of mine!
Sanctuary |
Lunch options (from 12.30pm) are just as enticing, with three vegetarian plates to choose from, like the Potato and Cheese on Soda Bread – a delightful combination of new potatoes, spring onion aioli, and melty goat gouda. Pescatarians, rejoice! The Goatsbridge trout with house labneh and a touch of sweetness from pickled apple is a must-try.
Sweet Endings
No meal is complete without dessert, and Nádúr Deli doesn't disappoint. Their pastries are a sight to behold (and devour!), but if you need a recommendation, the Lemon Meringue Almond Cake is a slice of sunshine. Pair it with a perfectly brewed glass of West Cork Coffee for a sweet ending to your visit.
Grapes to Come
While they are waiting on their wine licence, owners Clare Condon and Kristin Makirere are planning a short curated selection of natural wines, including red, white, and a couple of bubbly options ( no doubt a pet-nat will feature!).
Bonus Bites:
Looking for the WC? No bother, they are a few steps away in Nano Nagle Place. Here, you'll have access to the spacious and wheelchair-friendly facilities on the ground floor.
So, next time you're in Cork's Douglas Street, skip the chains and head to Nádúr Deli. This petite powerhouse is sure to leave a big impression on your taste buds!
