Good Day Deli

The sylvan setting of Good Day Deli, a stunning Miesian steel-and-glass box in the grounds of the Nano Nagle Centre, makes for an enchanted oasis in the heart of the city: there is nowhere else quite like it. The room is so delighting that, even if they only served bowls of gruel with a tempura of concrete, you would still join the queue. Fortunately, this kitchen has done nothing other than get better ever since Christian and Claire first opened, and the precision of the cooking today is pretty ruthless. No one makes a better smoked salmon benny, or halloumi stack, and the fish tacos simply have no peer. Small details – the perfect hibiscus soda; elegant handmade chocolates with Cork ingredients; sublime flower arrangements – seal the deal on a special destination.
