Tony's Bistro — Restaurant in Cork

Tony's is like a treasure in Cork but it has been living on an out of date reputation for a long time that has no bearing on the current state of affairs. There was virtually nothing on the menu for less than €10, most of it was €12! What happened to a simple mini breakfast? The menu was printed on a dark redish background that was hard to read at times. The bacon was overcooked to the point of being burnt but more importantly was very poor quality. The sausages were small and again poor quality. If you put a tiny ramekin of relish on a plate of terrible food it doesn't make it fancy or better!

Sometimes you could be waiting for a table only because its so popular and its worth the wait, plus as the person eatiing there already you never ever feel rushed to finish up because theres people waiting. It is very...

We came here after our "first pick" was closed and MAN am i glad we did. The Bistro has a "mafia" theme, as in all the dishes are named after famous mafiosi from movies and other fiction. I've had one of the two vegetarian options and it was really really good. The avocado was fresh and worked super well with the poached egg and sauce hollandaise. But the bread! Thick slabs of toasted sourdough that were literally a high of my day (being from Germany I was starting to miss good bread with toast being the only thing around at most spots). Just for that it would be worth it coming here, everything else is the very big cherry on top. Definit...
