I went to Douglas farmers’ market last Saturday for the first time in ages. I’ve had to don my Florence Nightingale outfit in recent years to care for a family member, Saturday becoming my rostered day, so it was a joy to return to what has always been a treasured experience. My children were practically reared in farmers’ markets, Douglas, in particular.

Amongst the very first to bring the concept of brunch to Ireland in 2005 with the opening of Liberty Grill, Denis O’Mullane and Marianne Delaney have long served as one of my personal benchmarks of good restaurateurs. Seasoned practitioners both, through multiple establishments, they are two of the most considered operators in Irish hospitality, so I relished the prospect of Probys Kitchen (PK) which opened last year, their partnership with chef Pat Browne, formerly of Ballymaloe Cookery School.

The Yellow Bittern (TYB) is a nondescript 18-seater London restaurant that opened last October offering old school bistro-and-Irish menu. All bookings are by phone and only cash is accepted in payment.

If I can find a backer, I’ll stake hard cash to bet St Luke’s, a five-minute walk from Cork’s city centre, can lay claim to the coolest crossroads in Ireland. If comely dancing maidens and handsome shimmying swains are seeking tunes, Live at St Luke’s, in a former church on one ‘corner’, is a unique venue with a sublime and eclectic programme that draws ‘pilgrims’ from all over Munster.
