Café Paradiso

Opening in October 1993, Cafe Paradiso set out to take vegetarian cooking out of the health food industry and away from the perception of meat-free cooking being somewhat penitential. Dishes were created with a focus on vegetables rather than lentils, and with no agenda other than sharing the pleasure of real food prepared with skill and passion.

Ground-breaking in its early years, Paradiso has now become something of an iconic institution in the Cork dining scene and the wider and Irish food culture.  Cafe Paradiso has won many accolades and awards over the years. It was listed in the Bridgestone Guides 100 Best Restaurants from its first year and holds the highest ‘icon’ status in that guide book. It was voted ‘Best Restaurant in Munster’ by the readers of ‘Food & Wine’ magazine in 2001, and Denis Cotter was voted ‘Chef of the Year’ by the same magazine in 2005. The restaurant was also voted ‘Restaurant of the Year’ by Les Routiers Ireland in 2004.
