Time for a romantic night out?

If an evening of fine dining is your idea of a good time, Les Gourmandises on Cook Street should be your first call this week.

The restaurant is offering diners the chance to taste their brand new spring menu for €45 for two people – including two courses and a tasting measure of wine.

Diners availing of the deal will be treated to a selection of tapas to share and a choice of two mains from Tuesday to Thursday, 6pm to 9.30pm and on Fridays from 6pm until 7pm (book here).

Before you beat a path directly to Cook Street, take our advice; designate a driver.

Chef Pat Kiely, his wife Soizic and their award-winning team are known for sourcing the best local ingredients Cork has to offer and pairing them with exciting wines, so take the opportunity to indulge if you’re a fan of the grape.
