Farmgate Café sits on the mezzanine level of the English Market, with a view down over the food stalls below — the atmosphere is a huge part of why Cork locals and visiting chefs swear by it. The menu is 100% market-sourced: Ballycotton fish of the day, O’Flynn’s sausages, Gubbeen charcuterie, and traditional Cork dishes like tripe and drisheen (blood sausage) for the brave.
Booking not possible; seating is first-come. Lunch-only (12-4pm), closed Sundays and Mondays. A genuine Cork institution.
