Cafe Gusto, Cork City

Went to Cafe Gusto for the first time last saturday night, myself and my wife. As they have the option of corkage, we opted to bring our own ( had recieved a present of a beautiful red that week), initially we shared a bowl of Olive along witthe the Chef's slate for starter, this was a combination selected by the chef. It consisted of Air dried ham, Chorizo, a hard cheese, a goats cheese, Hummus and Pesto , accompanied with breads. All of the above were extremely tasty , but both the Goats cheese and the pesto were second to none. For next course , we had the Lamb tangine and the Mediterranean fish soup. The tangine was lovely , but the fish soup (which had been recommened ) was beautiful, the taste of the fish came through above the taste of the other indgredients, leaving you in no doubt that it was a fresh fish soup. To finish we had the Meat Mezze, a combination of meat and cheese, this was opted for over a dessert, again could not fault it .... To finish , the service was attentive, the food lovely (was told that they source all their foodstuffs from ther English market by my wife) the atmoshpere was relaxed and we both left very contented. Finally, the value was outstanding, made more so by bringing our own wine, so we all won, the chef with his food , the staff by their service and we with our selected Wine ......

Anyone who wants good food+plus good atmosphere+good value, this is the place to come. You can bring your own wine and they have a wide range of tapas and also main dishes. Will definitely be returning here!
