If there is one thing Cork is not short of it's brilliant food spots and great local produce.
At this time of year its hard to figure out how to fill your days off.
The evenings are still dark, hospitality is still closed at 8pm and I'm sure a large portion of people you know are going 'Dry' for the month of January (not consuming alcohol).
However, all chances at a social life are not lost, why not take a venture into one of these gorgeous spots for lunch.
