Cobh Bedecked with Flowers. Well worth a visit.

Cobh Bedecked with Flowers. 
Well worth a visit.

Cobh is becoming as well known for its displays of flowers as for it well perched cathedral.
Water's Edge Hotel, The Quays Bar & Restaurant and the Sirius Art Gallery all in this block


The Crescent has splendid views over the town centre and the harbour.

Looking well: the Commodore Hotel


Welcome to Cobh

Seasalt, a lovely café battling in the Covid19 aftermath

Not a vegan café, I'm told

Time to chat at Cuppacity





Like Harbour Browns, you'll
find Leonardo on the West Beach

Does what it says on the tin.


Lights guide you into this shop called Turkish Delights


Looking down from cathedral 

Handiwork


Café in heritage centre

Say it with flowers



Café on Rushbrooke side of town

Hederman's famous smokehouse is near Belvelly bridge

A bite on the way in or on the way out at Bramley Lodge

QUAYS BAR IN COBH

QUAYS BAR and RESTAURANT

A couple of weeks back, we told you how you could arrive on foot, by car, by train, even by boat at the Quays Bar and Restaurant

And the probability of yet another mode of arrival drew closer today when a small sea-plane arrived in Cork Harbour and taxied to the pontoon of the popular Cobh Restaurant.

Read all about it at Sea Plane Service
The sea-plane docks at the Quays pontoon close to the cruise liner Albatross.

The Quays in Cobh

THE QUAYS

You may arrive at the Quays Bar and Restaurant in Cobh by car, on foot, by train or by boat. The establishment has its own pontoon.

It also has a decking area, part of it under cover, so you can take in the harbour views as you dine.

Called in there at the weekend, by car, and enjoyed a decent afternoon cup of coffee, a large one (with wrapped biscuit), that cost €2.50.

The inside bar area looks clean and comfortable and service was efficient and helpful and smiles all round. We took the coffee on the decked area, took our time and watched as one of the cruise liners left the nearby Deepwater Quay.

You won't get views like this at too many restaurants, though one in Venice, where I enjoyed the local “green” sardines, springs to mind. I haven't sampled the fine cuisine in The Quays yet but Saturday’s experience suggests that it should be up to scratch.

You can see the menu and prices on the website and they also have specials. Saturday's Specials included Soup at €4.50 and main courses ranging from Pan Fried Sea Bass with White Wine Sauce at €20.95 to Black Sole on the bone with a caper/butter sauce at €27.95.
