A bold fusion on a plate
At Poulet Vous, fried chicken gets a bold makeover, blending the fiery heat of Nashville hot chicken with the savoury-sweet depth of Korean flavours. The menu features juicy, crispy chicken in sandwiches, bowls, and loaded fries, all finished with vibrant sauces and toppings that set it apart from typical fried chicken spots. Dishes are designed to be shared or enjoyed solo, with portion sizes generous enough to satisfy even hearty appetites. The kitchen focuses on fresh, local ingredients, turning out bright, punchy flavours that reflect both Southern US and East Asian influences. Whether it’s a spicy chicken sandwich with pickled vegetables or a bowl piled high with rice, slaw, and a perfectly fried cutlet, every plate is built for maximum impact – crunchy, saucy, and deeply satisfying.Inside Cork’s Marina Market
Poulet Vous operates from a stall within Marina Market, a modern food hall in Ballintemple that brings together a rotating line-up of Cork’s best street food vendors. The setting is casual and contemporary, with communal tables, an open kitchen feel, and a relaxed, urban vibe. It’s the kind of place where you grab a tray, choose your dish, and settle in with friends or colleagues for a quick, flavourful meal. The market’s layout encourages exploration, so visitors often pair their Poulet Vous order with drinks or sides from neighbouring stalls. The atmosphere is lively, especially at lunch and early evening, with the buzz of conversation, the clatter of trays, and the occasional queue forming at popular counters. It’s a great spot to experience Cork’s evolving food culture in a comfortable, informal setting.Why it stands out in Cork
What makes Poulet Vous special is its unique flavour profile – a true hybrid of Nashville heat and Korean umami that’s hard to find elsewhere in the city. The chicken is consistently crispy on the outside, tender within, and coated in sauces that balance spice, sweetness, and tang. Even simple sides like disco fries or slaw are elevated by thoughtful seasoning and fresh preparation. The stall has earned a loyal following among locals who appreciate its consistency, speed of service, and the way it turns fried chicken into something more adventurous. It’s not just comfort food; it’s comfort food with a twist, served with a smile and a sense of fun. For visitors, it’s a delicious introduction to Cork’s modern food scene, offering a taste that’s both familiar and excitingly new.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
