Iago at the Cork Market

Sean Calder-Pott’s handsome stall is meticulous and very special. The pristine quality of everything Sean and his team make and sell at Iago is inspiring, the attention paid to every detail verging on the obsessive, despite Mr Calder-Pott’s laid back calm!

Their fresh pasta is the best you can buy; hunt here for superb mozzarella; for the long-aged Parmesan (unmissable); the basil pesto; the speciality tuna and anchovies, everything.

A sheer joy, nothing less.
