I'm On Friday night I went for a meal with my family to Greenes, Cork. The first thing you will notice when entering Greens is the amazing waterfall which by far made the setting of the whole meal. White cloths, the best silvers and of course the black and white server uniforms . Head chef Bryan Mc Carthy is the brains behind Greenes menu. He is well known and has also received Best chef in cork 2015. I felt like I was missing out so it was definitly time for me to visit here!
We took forever to order but we got there in the end. It was my first time my family and I experienced fancy foams, gels and sous vide techniques. It was a completely different type of dining we had ever experienced. My little sister Eve was calling it "robot" and "space food". She's 12 and she even noticed and appreciated the effort and skill that had gone into the prep and presentation of the food. We all eventually ordered and the meal began briskly!
First, we were presented with a Lime foam appetiser. It was light and what I think could've almost been a pallet cleanser. They were served in cute glass jars and on a doily leaf!

Our starters arrived. I went for the Scallops with cauliflower textures, elderflower and vinegar gel. By the far one of the most colourful dish I have ever had. I'd love to of seen them dress this plate and I'd love to know did they use a tweezers to get it so perfect on the plate!

My mum got oysters which were served on a simple but effective bed of sea salt. They were perfect and delicate size for the mouth.
For the mains. I got Wagu Rump steak. Little Eve got the feather blade of beef and my dad got the special of the day, which was Brill. The meat was sous vide the waitress explained to us.

For dessert, we got a Berry Frangipane Tart and Black Forest Gateaux.The colours were amazing and the juice it's strawberries I ever had. I was absolutely crazy about the flavours of the Berry Frangipane Tart.
