Frank and Paul apparently looking just a bit too ‘edgy’ for the Irish Independent

In Saturday’s Irish Independent John and Sally McKenna, authors of the new ‘Bridgestone 100 Best Guides to Ireland,’ presented readers with their “Irish Top Ten” favourite places to eat and stay which included our own An Cruibin. Here is what they had to say…

Only in Cork would you get a restaurant as funky, surreal and inspired as An Cruibin. This smart newcomer fits like a glove in this city of idiosyncratic cooks, and you won’t find food like the cooking in the Silk Purse restaurant anywhere else.

If you had your favourite tapas bar from Barcelona re-styled by a hip designer and then dropped down by the River Lee, An Cruibin is what you would get. A whole new way of being a Celt.
