13. April 2012: Restaurant The Terrace @The Merrion Hotel
The “chicken wings with barbeque sauce served with celery sticks and a blue cheese dip” were absolutely delicious. The sauce in which the chicken wings were cooked was spicy and rich, the blue cheese dip was tasteful and overall, the 14 chicken wings as a starter (quite an amount in my opinion) were great. As […]
12. April 2012: Knightsbridge Bar
The Knightsbridge bar in the Arlington Hotel offers a 3 course menu including live music for EUR 29.95. As it is 15 years ago since I was listening to Irish live music I wanted to listen to it again and the 3 course menu which came with it somehow sounded like a good idea to […]
12. April 2012: The Stag’s Head
The “Traditional Fish and Chips” (fresh haddock in a light crisp beer batter served with home-cut chips and tartare sauce; EUR 11,95) were quite good. The crisp beer batter was not that crunchy but the home-cut chips were pretty tasty and fit well with the sauce. What came a bit surprising as it was the […]
12. April 2012: Gravity Bar
The Gravity Bar is a very great place – especially as the view you have all over Dublin is amazing. You get to have a 360° view over Dublin as to all sides there are only glass windows. The only downturn of the Gravity bar is that it comes with the Guinness Brewery tour which […]
12. – 15. April 2012: Restaurant The Exchange @The Westin
The breakfast buffet at the Restaurant The Exchange in The Westin Dublin is great – the continental breakfast account for EUR 14.50 and the full Irish breakfast for EUR 19.50. The difference is that you get black and white pudding as well as eggs, bacon, sausages, tomatoes and potatoes with your breakfast if you choose […]
11. April 2012: Restaurant BANG
We were welcomed with wholegrain bread which was still warm and was very crunchy and fit well with the butter. Definitely a nice start especially as the bread was delicious. As a starter I had a “free range hen’s egg, deep fried, house black pudding, pancetta, tomato relish, wild garlic mayo” (EUR 9.50). The deep […]
11. April 2012: Restaurant The Church
The classic burger served on a floury bap with rocket, tomato, mayo and chili and garlic chips (EUR 13.50) with additional bacon (EUR 0.75) and additional cheddar cheese (EUR 0.75) was quite good. The meat was tasty and juicy, the buns were a bit fluffy but okay and the ingredients were fresh and rich. The […]
