Restaurant review: Two Cork food stalwarts reign supreme with top quality dishes

We’re almost there, on the cusp of returning to dining out proper and though we’ve largely avoided reviewing precooked food, the entire Kitchen Brigade — namely me — has downed tools, refusing to lift so much as a frazzled finger, even to put finishing touches to another meal kit, willing only to wield a corkscrew.
Instead, we’re off to our ‘local’, The Castle Cafe at Blackrock Castle for ‘Friday Dinner’, back home and dishing up within four minutes of collection; I’ve encountered slower delivery times in actual restaurants.
