Cork’s newest rooftop restaurant set to open

Sophie’s, a skyline restaurant at The Dean Cork, is to open from 11 December offering a whole new view of Cork from six floors up.

The 150 capacity restaurant, designed by interior designers O’Donnell O’Neill, is a lovely space. Floor to ceiling windows throughout allow light to pour in, whilst the reclaimed wooden roof and soft lighting give the space a cosy feel. Two terraces extend the restaurant space allowing for al fresco dining. Both terraces, front and back, are covered and heated.

The New York Italian-inspired menu combines the most popular dishes from their sister restaurant in Dublin, with new dishes created using the best of the county’s ingredients and suppliers, including Castletownbere crab, butter and yoghurt from Glenilen Farm in Drimoleague, and cured meats and cheese from Gubbeen Farmhouse.

They serve breakfast from 7am weekdays and from 8am on weekends, lunch, and dinner daily with a delicious brunch menu on the weekends.

Bookings at Sophie’s Restaurant Cork are now available from 11 December for indoor and outdoor dining, maximum table size of six due to current restrictions.Email bookcork@sophies.ie or phone 01-5337777 to book, or visit sophies.ie to book online on Open Table.
