These 5 restaurants are all reopening and we’re beyond excited about it
Can you feel it?
There’s a frisson of positivity in the air. You might not recognise it, but that’s what it is.
With Covid case numbers finally waning and restrictions set to be eased as early as next week, things are looking up for Cork’s embattled pubs and restaurants.
And if your social engagements were few and far between over Christmas, now is the time to make up for it; many of Cork’s best eateries and bars are reopening this week for the first time in 2022.
I mean, it’s practically your civic duty to support.
Here are five of the best returning this week:
1. JACOBS ON THE MALL
With a gorgeous new dining room (one of the most spacious in the city) and a menu to match, the Jacobs crew reopened on Wednesday after two weeks in darkness.
Call 021 4251 530 to book a table.

2. JACQUES
They’ve been delighting Cork diners for more than four decades, so Jacques has been sorely missed by regulars over the past three weeks. The good news is they are reopening today, Thursday, January 20th and serving until Saturday this week.
