I made a last minute decision to make some American Style Pancakes for a brunch we were hosting. I couldn't find a recipe in my cookbooks - it seems the only Barefoot Contessa cookbook that I don't own is the one with a recipe for this. I ended up turning to good old google and scrolled to find Jamie Oliver's recipe as I find that his or BBC Good Food's recipes rarely let you down. A quick look at the recipe for the ingredients, it looked simple enough so off I went to make it.
I was entertaining friends and
family for brunch and was making the most delicious yogurt ever, and needed a
crunch element to go with it. Granola for brunch was an obvious choice so I
went about making my own. As I made my way through the supermarket with my list
of multiple ingredients for the granola, I realised how expensive this was
going to be - so I cheated!
Brunch is getting increasingly popular (thankfully) and I have noticed an increase in the number of pubs, cafes, and restaurants in Cork City and County that are partaking in this Sunday (and sometimes Saturday) ritual. I am always looking for places to have breakfast/brunch, but usually I can't think of where is open on a particular day and have to trawl through websites etc to try find the information I need. Because of this, I decided to write this post so that going forward I have a go-to list of where is open in Cork City at the weekends for my brunch needs! Even though I am writing this for selfish reasons I hope it can help others too, when in need of a good hearty breakfast.
I devised a list of the restaurants, bars and cafes in Cork City that do breakfast or brunch - sticking with Saturday and Sunday only. I have included the street location, hours and a link to their menu. I have also added a link to a review we have done for any of these establishments.
