You been there recently Dud? You sure?

Walked up the staircase ... nothing there. Woman from what looked like a video shop or something directed us next door. Maybe there's some kindof inter-restaurant shenanigans going on here but she did say it was closed ....

getting flashbacks to my chameleon dinner.
boiled cabbage in coconut sauce. satay chicken, marinated squid, liquouricy pork, spicey meatballs, wokfried vegetable noodles, beef in some odd fashion.

Galway: Fat Freddy's (beside quays bar), second time i'd been in the place. Nothing 'too' fancy but nice atmosphere and excellent food all at a reasonable price. Would def recommend it. 10/10.

i'd completely agree, had a fabulous pizza there during the summer, really fresh and super-tasty.

You should go north - the best breakfasts on the island are in Belfast. They're one of the few good things about the place.

I completely agree with you...Maggie Mays on Botanic Avenue do amazing fry ups for both Veggies and meat eaters...class!

In Dublin however Baan Thai restaurant in Ballsbridge is so so yummy...i highly recommend it. Al Bochetto's down the road from it has beautiful fresh Italian food too.

In Galway Thai Gardens is amazing and Couch potatoes...which i think has moved from town to studentsville aka Newcastle road has cheap and gorgeous food.

For the best fish and chips in the country McDonaghs on Quay St. is definately the best.

I am starving now!

All good: Ho Sen / Gruel / Spice n' Rice (taKe away)

Had lunch/brunch in the Fallon & Byrne restaurant today. The room is lovely, food was delicious, simple stuff like Eggs Benedict and Croque Monsieur but very well done and not too dear. Wonder what the evening menu is like...

Only complaints were the apple juice which cost 3.50 and was from a carton, not fresh squeezed, and the creepy smiling French waiter who POURED OUT MY TEA. How weird is that ?

was in that new john keating pub today, it's amazing inside, totally gorgeous. Food is nice in the main bar, it's more snack sized than meal sized but priced accordingly I suppose - I had a big fishcake on rocket and sundried tomatoes and that was 7.50. Also there was a string quartet playing, v fancy.

The Alamo in Temple bar//////
Not comfy but I love the Veggie gear in there.

 

[krystal]

ugh, that place is rank. Everything tastes like it's been harvested from particularly unsavoury rats, drowned in bin juice and accessorised with brown iceberg lettuce.

Nul points.

Dinnered in a place in Sandymount yesterday evening. Can't remember the name but it's an Italian, it's facing the green on the coast side, and the shopfront is entirely chocolate brown.

Wouldn't recommend it. The aubergine starter was flat and lifeless but ok. My companion's main course was a homemade hamburger which was simply a half pound of mince on a plate, with no attempt made to bring it to life in any way. SO I know I know, he got what he ordered, but when you order a burger in this day and age you ususally expect something to be going on with it, no? Even some decent condiments at least. He got a bowl of store-bought frozen chips with it. All in all, his tastebuds fell into a coma. ...Anyway, that learned him.

Mine was a very dull few pieces of chicken and a smidge of ham drowning under a sea of plain vaguely-basily tomato sauce with mozzarella trun on top. And another bowl of store-bought frozen chips.

But the piece de resistence was the ill feeling that came on me shortly after leaving. Instead of heading out to a friends birthday affair I spent the evening shuffling around my kitchen trying to find something that would relieve my major nausea.

2 x starter
2 x main
1 x tea, 1 x coffee
1 x perroni

Just under €60


1 x me bent double in angst

Priceless

There's a Mario's in Sandymount (Terenure and Ranelagh too) which can be particularly uninspiring sometimes and doesn't take bookings which really annoys me as it makes it impossible to plan an evening properly.

Never been in the Sandymount version so I don't know what the front looks like.

Yeah, just googled and it is Mario's.

Hear that y'all? MARIO'S.

Cheers Nigglybits.

Actually, just looked at their online menu and this is one of the entries

Magic Mushrooms
With lots of garlic in cream sauce. Spellbinding stuff. €5.75

 

[dudley]

That's a pity. Years back Mario's used to be fantastic
