    <comment>I was out with a group of friends for a bite to eat &amp; we were headed to the tapas bar beside this place on bridge st, which was unfortunately closed for renovations.  Disappointed, we decided to eat at Gourmet Burger Bistro.. and were pleasantly surprised!  It was restaurant atmosphere without the prices &amp; really tasty food...my greek style lamb burger was excellent.  We ordered a bottle of wine which was very drinkable &amp; didn't have to hold out breath when the bill came! Staff were lovely..I couldn't really fault the place!</comment>

    <comment>I ate here on Saturday night of the jazz with 5 friends and the place was just buzzing but still delivered excellent service.  What a variety there is, burgers, salads, fish and extra specials.  We had burgers, warm chicken salad and fish and everything was very very good, especially the chips they were just yum.  Afterwards we went for the Affogato dessert which is really cool.  All in all we had a night with great, food, value &amp; service.  Well done to all Cork really needed this. </comment>

    <comment>I went to gourmet burger bistro twice during August. On the first occasion I was with a large group having a birthday dinner. The second occasion was having a quick dinner with a friend before going to a show in the everyman. I have been really impressed with the service on both occasions. At the birthday dinner we were put under no pressure and spent quite a long time over our meal. We were not at all rushed. On the other hand, we were running a bit late for our show when we went the second time and our waitress was really helpful, getting everything for us as quickly as possible.
As for the food, it was delicious. I had the beef with blue cheese one night and the greek lamb the second time. Both were really delicious. I thought the chips were beautiful. Although it is a small portion of chips it was more than enough with the massive burger. All in all good food, good service and good value. Definitely going back there! </comment>

    <comment>What a burger!!!!  Went for early tea so the place wasn't very busy, which was great.  The menu had some great choices.  I had the Blue Cheese Burger and my partner had the French Connection.  We had some wings and brushetta to start.  Everything was delicious!  When the burger arrived it was served with a small bowl of homemade fries, it looked a little small but the focus of the meal is the burger and I was hard pressed to finish it all. The combination of ingredients on all the burger choices looks fantastic.  Good food and great value!  We will definitely be going back there.  I think it would be lovely for an early tea with the family and the staff made us feel so welcome and were very chatty.  A restaurant I'd recommend to friends and one I will definitely be returning to.</comment>

    <comment>I found this restaurant about a week or two after they opened earlier in the summer and I've been several times for dinner since. They have a nice, varied menu with some unusual items (like Hallomi salad). They have a few nice vegetarian options too, which is important for me! We got starters the first night but they are a bit on the small side so I haven't bothered with them since. The burgers are substantial though so you don't really need a starter and all the burgers do come with nice home fries on the side (at least on the dinner menu so I can't comment on other reviews). The portion of fries is small but just right. They have a lot of variety in burgers and the carnivores I was dining with on different occasions were very happy with them (I'm a vegetarian and like the falafel burger on offer)! I have found the value quite good but don't bother with a starter - you won't need it anyway!

The restaurant is bistro style, so simplicity is a hallmark. This is simple, casual dining at it's best.</comment>

    <comment>Good food, great price.

Went here for lunch and for €10 were treated to a great burger, a small ramkin of fries and a drink. Pretty good value.

The lamb burger was excellent and was served with two sauces, however chips were just ok, a little soggy! 

Staff were very friendly and efficient, and the atmosphere of the small restaurant was casual and relaxed.

We will def be back for more lunch! </comment>

    <comment>Good value. Fish and chips were yummy. Nice place to visit prior to Everyman or Opera House or after a long day shopping. Spotless. Clean toilets. Like the pink theme. </comment>
