Restaurant review: Klaw Poké

CORK’S Oliver Plunkett Street has been rightly praised for the diversity of its shops and its character and I’ve been trying and failing to think of a Dublin equivalent.

It certainly isn’t Capel Street which is probably closer to North Main Street (arguably my favourite street in Cork thanks to its unpredictability — I’ve picked up a couple of first editions in the charity shops there, not to mention a barely worn pair of Chelsea boots).

Capel Street too has its charity shops (Paul Smith Suit for €25 is my best find), and has always had a strange mix of hardware, beauty and furniture shops but recently it has also become an ethnic food hot spot with Sichuan, Sushi, Filipino, Korean and Vietnamese restaurants in between nail bars, Louis Copeland and the sex shops. The excellent Brother Hubbard Café is expanding into the old Gary Rhodes building so watch that space also.
