Our only meal in Cork, Ireland, and it was amazing.

For starters got the Taiwanese fried fish nuggets, and the mussels. It’s great choices, especially the nuggets!

For mains, did two fishes: the pan fried Brill and the Turbot. Although different fishes, what really distinguishes from each other (and according to the waitress) is the sauce that they come with. Both were great, but if I had to choose 1, it would be the Brill bases in the sauce.

And for side, got the baby potatoes and green cabbage. It’s so easy to eat.

5 Oceanos

We stopped by here for our last dinner in Porto (technically it is in the city of Matosinhos).

Great restaurant. Our waiter was a little assuming in what we wanted to order (ie we mentioned cod, and that order came through… which wasn’t a bad thing in the end).

To start, we ordered macallan 12 (very generous pour). Then ordered the scallops, Octopus, and fried cod. The Octopus and cod came with other things like vegetables and potatoes and chips (which made things extra filling). also chips were made by the restaurant.

Food and vibe overall was good. Would come back here.

One thing they didn’t have but we wanted to try was percpbes (aka barnacle)

We stopped by this steakhouse from a friends recommendation in Porto. Honestly, great recommendation.

When we entered, they served us with their house sparkling wine before they seated us.

When we were seated the service felt personalized. Waitress sat beside us to take our orders.

For drinks got an espresso martini (they made it correctly with just coffee/espresso, Khalua , and vodka). Also got a red wine to pair with the ribeye we ordered (they let us cook one part medium and one part medium-rare which I thought was great).

For sides we had spinach and roasted potatoes (which ended up looking cake like).

Forgot to mention we did order appetizers, which was a seafood selection of prawns, mussels and clams.

At the end they gave us coconut chocolate and dark chocolate as a small desert.

From the food, service and drinks would recommend this place to people that go to Porto.

Rosemary’s Midtown

Grabbed Saturday brunch with some friends from New York at this place.

Got an espresso martini without any sweetener plus an Aperol spritz. Both were great.

For food, got the pesto pasta, the pappardelle verde, potatoes, French toast, and mushroom sausage pizza. All of it was great, and would get them again.

This place is a chain with locations through New York. This location gets Hampton people going to it apparently.

Note: didn’t take any photos for some reason, so all the below pics are from yelp.

Checked out this Italian in hopes of eating some pasta. However, there was no pasta. Still a good place to eat.

We got the scallops for appetizers. Great choice. For my main, got the chicken. It was cooked perfectly (not dry at all). Also got the potatoes on the side.

For wine, I got something called the montecheubbsgd… (it was a black cherry type flavor). Thought it was interestingly light (but Ben said it’s because it doesn’t taste acidic.

We tried out this place for a friend’s birthday.

For an appetizer, I got the Korean Fried Chicken on a waffle. I thought the chicken was good, but really didn’t care for the waffle. We also got the crispy fried potato, both the curry and onion and bacon. The latter actually tasted a lot better (wouldn’t get the curry again).

As for the main, I tried the all beef frankfurter. I would get it again.

For drinks, although this was a beer house, I stuck to drinking their pinot, with no complaints.

Went here for brunch. What’s interesting about this place is that it is Korean.

I got the bulgogi bap, which of course I found great. I also had a side of bacon. What I should’ve got a side of (but tried from someone else) was millennium bacon. Mmmm. Also, tried the Korean fried chicken. Also great.

And what brunch would be complete without a mimosa? They did have bottomless, but opted to not do that mainly because of the previous night.

Overall, definitely coming back to this place. Maybe next time family style might be a better choice, since trying a variety of food made the experience that much better.

We went here for brunch. The wait was typical for brunch (about 25 minutes).

The portion sizes are very Anerican (for a Canadian restaurant). I got the cowboy fricassee, and I really enjoyed it (it had a mix of bacon, sausage, egg and potatoes, with a side of pancakes).

The Creamery

Decided to try out this place (across the street from where I live) for brunch.

I ordered the Creamery Breakfast (chose ham and potatoes as my options). It was pretty good. The eggs were a bit bland, but adding salt or ketchup did the trick.

For a drink, I ordered a mimosa. I gotta say the mimosa seemed like it was made from non-new champagne (it seemed flat).
