A vibrant experience which will make your tastebuds tingle! Greenes, with its majestic 60-foot city centre waterfall in its outdoor courtyard, offers upscale global cuisine served in a stylish, converted 18th-century warehouse, set in Cork’s historic Victorian Quarter.

Traditional food practices, such as pickling and fermenting, together with innovative techniques, as well as quality, sustainable meat and fish, and locally sourced organic vegetables and herbs, have transformed Greenes into the destination restaurant that it is today.

Greenes Restaurant opening gambit is an exterior most restaurants would kill for. Just off busy MacCurtain Street, and through an old stone archway one finds a secluded waterfall falling from high on a natural cliff face.

Head Chef Bryan McCarthy is clearly still enamoured with working in the splendid surroundings at Greenes restaurant in Cork, but it's more than just the view that keeps the place packed out!
