Cornstore fills niche

LAST TIME I visited Limerick, one of the highlights of the trip was an evening meal with friends in The French Table.

On Steamboat Quay, we found a classy, hard-working restaurant run by a couple bringing a personal touch to the table, and flair to the plate.

This time, we went a different route, booking at The Cornstore on Thomas Street. Readers may be familiar with the name — Pádraic Frawley’s concept began life on Cork’s Cornmarket Street, mixing seafood and steaks, wine and cocktails and DJs and live jazz on weekends in a Manhattan-style setting. Limerick’s is its sister restaurant.
