Ballycotton’s loss was Midleton’s gain when the well-loved Cush relocated to this busy County Cork town. Hidden down a narrow passageway, the stone-faced property conceals a chic, modern dining space with a semi-open kitchen. The cooking mines the Irish larder well, providing boldly flavoured dishes that are both hearty and refined, such as a beautifully golden slow-cooked pork croquette with a contrasting pickled walnut purée. The efficient yet relaxed service team ensure everyone is well looked after.
