"Cork Coffee Roasters supremo John Gowan is the godfather of the city’s modern coffee scene. Here the coffee is rock-solid and pastries are thoughtfully chosen, but there is equal pleasure to be derived from the ambience in this tiny space that evokes the cluttered wooden intimacy of a Nantucket whaler’s cabin. Situated at one of the city’s major confluences, it affords a perfect post for watching people and the day go by."

"A couple of years ago, Palestinian couple Izz and Eman Alkerajah and their children were entangled in Ireland’s asylum-seeker system when they began selling Eman’s traditional recipes from a tiny farmer’s market stall. Success was immediate and — asylum status now granted and full Irish citizenship in the pipeline — a year later they established a brick-and-mortar presence in Cork city, centered around their menu of manaeesh, or Palestinian flatbreads. Try the version with chicken, sweet braised red onions, and pine nuts, with sumac and olive oil for seasoning."
