Sunchoke soup with truffle oil and sheep's cheese aranciniWE MADE IT...PARADISO IS A RESTAURANT AGAIN!
Despite being very confident all through the re-building process, it’s still hard to believe that this evening Cafe Paradiso will be a restaurant again, rather than a building site.

One work day left...doffing my hat to Allianz Insurance
The bad news is I have no photos from today. The good news is that the progress today was incredible. And I’d like to take my hat off to Alliance for backing Paradiso in getting back open as fast as we have.

Forward Motion at Full Tilt
After a couple of potential setbacks yesterday, that had me dreading the sound of silence in Paradiso over the weekend, we signed up a building team late last night and they showed up today bang on time, eager to get going. Our engineer set a target date for re-opening on Friday the 18th December and the builders have confidently said they will make it happen.

Paradiso under water
The flooding in Cork overnight has left Paradiso knee-deep in water, and it seems there is more rain on the way tonight. We are currently slopping out and assessing the damage, so it is too early to say when we will be able to re-open, but it definitely won’t be this weekend. Anyone with a booking on or after Tuesday 24th November should contact the restaurant early next week, when we should have a better idea of how soon we can be back.

Two months into our new opening hours, I’m happy to say that the 5.30pm start for dinner is proving to be a success, with a very positive response to our pre-theatre menus. I’m even happier to be able to say that we are about to re-open our Friday lunch service.
