What to do and see in Montenotte, Province of Munster: The Best Shopping
Plan to cross many bridges when in Cork. Ireland's third-largest city began life as an island and now spans both banks of the River Lee, with watery channels running beneath some of its main thoroughfares. The best way to experience this hilly southern seaport is on foot, following the signposted walking tour past St. Finn Barre's Cathedral and the riverside quadrangle of University College up the hill to red and white Shandon Church. Along the way, you'll meet plenty of the city's talkative residents.

We stopped on a whim and for look round Fiona’s shop and for a mid morning snack. The food was excellent with great scones and good coffee, the son informed me the slice of cake was not bad either. The staff are efficient and friendly, there is nothing negative I could say. We will stop for breakfast the next opportunity we get.

Absolutely love this market. I've come to know most of the stall holders quite well. The market is indoors (thankfully) and although is quite compact, you'll definitely spend a lot longer in there than you think! A sort of retro Tardis, the weird, wonderful and collectible seem to spill out from every nook and cranny, shelf and table. There are some lovely bric a brac stalls, a deeply interesting 'vinyl asylum' (their name not mine :-) ) which has unbelievably diverse LP's and 45's, a few vintage clothing stores, a lovely antiques stall where actual restoration and french polishing takes place on the weekends. Lots of little jewellery cabinets dotted about the ground floor, with costume pieces and fine jewellery pieces on offer. Prices differ across the market. But nothing is the same. True, you might find a similar item at a similar stall, but prices do reflect the condition. Don't expect to see a table with three legs with the same price as one with four! Haggle!!! Definitely haggle. It's cool to see how each stall differs, and you'll have fun in the process. The market has a really nice café, with ground coffees, speciality teas and a really tasty apple pie. Really not bad for €5.50 (coffee and tart) bearing in mind this is the city centre. Added bonus of fresh whipped cream sealed the deal for me. What did I buy? I bought a few old tools, wooden rasps and files, along with some old wooden drills. I picked up a set of vintage beehive door handles (brass) and I picked up a lovely vintage Japanese plate (which on inspection dated to 1912). I spent €25.50. Nothing wrong with that. Parking could be a bit of an issue as the market is located at the bottom of a hill. From what I've seen people tend to walk there as it's no more than a 10 minute walk if you're close to the centre of Cork city. Pop by for a browse, you certainly won't be disappointed.
