The Quay Co-op Restaurant is renowned by diners in Cork and beyond for the quality and variety of its menu and the ambience of its brightly decorated dining  rooms.

           The restaurant itself  is self-service and we can seat 85 customers in three rooms. We open at 9am  Monday to Saturday, serving breakfast until 12 noon. From 12 until 9pm we serve a full menu - you can have anything from a three-course dinner to a  cup of coffee. Our menu changes daily but the basic structure remains the same. We serve two fresh soups and two special dishes every day. We also serve  lasagne, a choice of pizzas, a choice of burgers and a choice of tarts. All  main courses are accompanied by a choice of salads or two hot vegetables.  

             Great care effort and creativity goes into making of the food in the Quay Coop. We use the best of ingredients to cater for vegan vegetarian celiac and allergy sensitive customers. We are constantly trying alternative ingredients to balance taste with your healthy eating requirements.

     We use Organic spelt flour in our desserts and our savoury tarts. We rarely use refined sugars , we substitute them  with healthy alternatives such as fructose, concentrated apple juice and rice syrup and still get tastiest results .So you can enjoy your fair trade organic coffee and cake with and leave your conscience at the door .

          The bakery supplies us daily with organic breads to suit everyone’s tastes (Spelt, soda, cornbread, wholemeal   gluten free cheese baps and seed pitas ) .

             We use free range eggs in all our foods , so our substantial tarts will satisfy the healthiest of appetites . All  of our salads are vegan and we would always have an option such as our burgers soups or one of our specials to choose from .  We have a vegan chocolate cake( amongst an assortment of others)  that would satisfy anyone’s craving .

But if you feel indulgent we have some naughtier options too .Enjoy……….
