Was Ruth Prendergast at Amicus a mag?
Shared a delicious meal with friends. Didn't need a reservation on a Wednesday but the restaurant filled up while we were there. Staff very friendly and helpful. The food was enjoyed by all. As a vegetarian there were three main course choices. Quite unimaginative; fajitas, curry or stir-fry. I couldn't give full marks as there was no protein in any, a few chick peas in the curry, tofu in the stir-fry, beans in the f... View all feedback.
What RVP dislikes about Amicus:
Had a lovely meal, the manager really looked after me. I don't think there was a problem with the meal, but ordered a decaf soya latte, was not decaf and spoon rested on an unwrapped biscuit. Asked the waiter to replace it. Got glutened View all feedback.

Got the lunchtime menu, ordered the garlic mushrooms, and the smash burger. I was disappointed- the breading of the mushrooms tasted like they were cooked in bad oil, and the burger, although tasty, was more like a slider rather than a smash patty, also wedges with burger was like warm
Lovely restaurant with a great choice of excellent food. Never lets you down. Best of book of thinking of reading during peak times. Friendly staff and very clean restaurant.
Absolutely loved Amicus! The service was amazing from start to finish, and the atmosphere was warm, welcoming, and perfect for a relaxed meal. The food was — every bite was incredible. Can’t wait to come back, highly recommend!
Absolutely amazing food and great service, can be busy during weekend evenings so book ahead to avoid waiting.
We went for Valentine's day, booked a table in advance and even though we arrived a little late there was no issue with our table. Even though the restaurant was very busy the staff were very friendly and accommodating, took our drink orders first and then or food. The cocktails were fabulous and the food was delicious. We never felt rushed nor ignored and the food was brought out in a timely manner. Will absolutely be going again.

There's not much to add: the location is convenient, the decor is lovely, and it might be a bit expensive if you don't go for the lunch deal (which is quite good). The food was enjoyable, and the service...
I have social anxiety, and my experience at this restaurant was quite uncomfortable. I was seated very close to others, with two people on each side of me, which made it challenging to relax.
Amicus was amazing! I highly recommend it to anyone in Cork! They offered a fantastic selection and had a beautiful layout. The restaurant spans three floors...

The restaurant is very accommodating when it comes to gluten-free options. They offer alternatives whenever possible and have a separate fryer for gluten-free dishes.
I ordered a four-cheese pizza, which was tasty, but the crust was undercooked and a bit too thick and crunchy, almost like a biscuit. Overall, it was good food, just not really my preference.
This was my third visit to the restaurant, and I am very pleased with the service. They offer a wide variety of options for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, including pasta, bread, and pizza. The staff was knowledgeable about the menu and could provide information on cross-contamination and specific dishes.

The gluten-free menu options are truly impressive, and the staff is both knowledgeable and helpful. Additionally, the non-gluten-free menu is equally remarkable. The atmosphere is relaxed yet sophisticated, making for a delightful dining experience.
I had a wonderful dinner and ordered the superfood salad. The waitstaff was knowledgeable and quickly followed up on one item they weren't certain about. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and there were plenty of options to choose from.
The menu offers a wide variety of options, all clearly marked. They have gluten-free pasta and pizza crust available for an additional €2. I ordered the herb chicken with wine sauce, and it was excellent. They also have a few gluten-free desserts, but unfortunately, the flourless chocolate cake was already sold out.
I ordered a pizza (4 cheese) and it was nice, but the basic is not done there and it was a bit thick and crispy like a cookie. it was a nice meal anyway, just not my type.

Popped in today loved it, such a warm greeting at the door from a lovely lady, took us to our table and was so helpful to us with the menu, and we were not disappointed the steak salad is to die for. Will definitely be recommending and calling back again. Thank you for such an enjoyable meal.
Had a lovely meal yesterday staff were wonderful food was fantastic always go there for lunch recommend it highly
Had an amazing business lunch there this week with amazing value on the Tenner menu!!! Main course, scoop of ice cream an Americano coffee for €10 unbelievably great value for €€’s. The staff were also 100% attentive.

Brilliant tasty food at a reasonable price with great friendly staff who never rush you no matter how busy they are.

The best on the menu without a doubt is the warm beef salad, which for half the price of a steak you can eat the same meat (to taste) in salad and potatoes. Of course, if you like beer, there is little supply, but a great variety of wines. Another tip, the dishes, at least the salad that was a starter, were huge!

Not been here for years. A bitg dark inside and the music a little on the loud side. But the food is excellently priced especially for a restaurant in the middle of the city. Quantities were equally impressive. Great standards. Soup was very tasty and the sandwich nicely packed. Will be back!!
Amicus is back! I ate here last year and was disappointed in the poor service and food but this month I experienced delicious food and efficient service. I had the poached egg and avocado. The egg was poached to perfection. There was a very generous helping of avocado. The service was quick and efficient. Thank you for a delicious breakfast Amicus.
Visited this restaurant for breakfast. Not the same as it use to be. We were sat upstairs and basically sat with strangers to the right and left of us. Our waiter forgot to bring water ketchup and our drinks to the table. Our portions were really small and our chips were stale. Once our food was finished then our minerals arrived. When the waiter asked how our experience was we politely made note of delayed service and their reaction was smug. We were told “it’s because the kitchen is busy” and then a blank expression. Really disappointed as Amicus was really a “Go To” brunch dinner restaurant within the city. The table to left of us also expressed their dissatisfaction and the waiter was smug to them also. Just to note we weren’t listening to their conversation, this just goes to show the seating outlay….
We are two retired ladies who met at Amicus for lunch. The manager who had an unusual name was very rude. We had our meal and ordered two mint teas. We were chatting with the waiter and asking if he had any little bit of chocolate cake (a finger) to go with the tea. We had got a tiny bit of chocolate cake on other occasions. He asked the manager who came to our table and asked abruptly if we were looking for something for nothing and that they had nothing for free! We said we’d pay if he had something small but he said no… he had nothing free!! I asked him if he understood marketing as he appeared aggressive and he said of course he understood marketing but they had nothing free. So we cancelled the two teas … I think the margin on the tea would cover the little bit of cake….and when we went to pay for the rest of our meal, he told us we were very rude! I attempted to explain that we were the customer and we weren’t rude, we just thought it would be the same as it was before when we got cake and it so wasn’t. Lots of restaurants around this area for our next trip but it won’t be Amicus next time.
The restaurant managed to find a table for us at short notice. Service was good, food was nice and the ambiance was very pleasant. Happy to recommend this restaurant!

Good place for food, good prices, location city center in front of Tesko Shop. Egg Royal beautiful...
It's the details for me. They listened to my worry as a first timer and went ahead to make sure I had the best time . I am so happy with their service and the food also is as great as the service. I highly recommend this place. It has great deals for all kinds of parties and offer for graduands. Would definitely go back
I was in Cork with my girlfriend recently I was recommended to visit amicus by a friend that us from the area. I had the nicest burger in years! The food was super fresh and piping hot. My girlfriend had the chicken fajitas and hasn't stopped talking about them since. It was definitely the best food of my 2 day trip. Highly recommend.
Nice place, staff super friendly and the food was excellent, many seats inside and outside. all loved it, well done all #busmanpaddy
Staff were very friendly, clean place, food was good but didn’t blow us away. Spent a long time waiting for drinks. We’d go back but maybe lower our expectations a bit.
