It may be luck or just simply being in the right place at the right time but when Ernest Cantillon bought the old ACC building in Cork City back in 2010 his focus was on opening a nightclub.

Things changed and he established a restaurant instead — an eatery that has stood the test of time and promises something new for customers when it reopens in the coming weeks.
