East Cork, where the story of modern Irish hospitality first began
Aherne’s Townhouse & Restaurant, in Youghal, a true icon of East Cork hospitality.
I often think of East Cork and West Cork as siblings; loyal to each other as good family members always are, never warring, but with certain marked differences in appearance and attitude and sometimes even the occasional frisson of rivalry.
Cork is unquestionably the food county of Ireland, but once you have imbibed the food culture of the city and had your fill, attentions naturally turn to the countryside. So, which way do you turn, East or West?
