Brick Oven, Cork

Decided to have a nice dinner out to start the week and ventured to The Brick Oven, Probys Quay in Cork. It's the second of it's kind in Cork, the other being in Bantry and hats off to the proprietors for creating a relaxing, warm atmosphere and serving up top nosh. The menu is simple yet tasteful ranging from seafood starters of calamari or shrimp to steaks and  pizzas cooked in their fantastic "brick oven"! It was my second time visiting the city branch, the first time was a staff night out and we were delighted with our choice. Service was quick, the food was great and the wine never stopped flowing. The round of vodka and prosecco during the night was an added bonus!
Tonight, it was a calmer evening to say the least, no alcohol unfortunately as we were both driving. I had the chicken breast stuffed with sundried tomato and parmesan, wrapped in pancetta and a creamy mash with a  mild salsa garnish. It was delicious, but the portion of mash definitely could have been bigger! Joe had the steak ciabatta, with salad and home cut chips, also very good. And we had a nice cup of tea after!
All in all, a lovely bistro with nice staff and good food. I'll visit again :)
