Dublin (IE)
24. October 2015: Restaurant F.X. Buckley
The “Baby Back Pork Ribs” (EUR 8.50) to start were tender like I haven’t experienced in a long while. The meat basically just fell off the bone the moment your lips or teeth touched it. It is very seldom that you get ribs of such a quality! The “Fillet Medium-Rare, 12oz” (EUR 39.00) with “Sauce […]
24. October 2015: The Mercantile Bar & Grill
We more or less randomly walked into The Mercantile – quite a cool place, especially as the decoration for Halloween was already up. The whole bar has a very intense atmosphere – and you immediately feel comfortable with the locals which attend the bar. Again, a nice place to down a couple Guinness and enjoy […]
24. October 2015: The Temple Bar
The Temple Bar just doesn’t change – it does not look any different compared to when I was there last. The place is still quite atmospheric and definitely worth a visit. You get yummy Guinness beer although you have to queue quite a bit at the counter before you finally receive it. However, the place […]
24. October 2015: Quay 14 @ The Morrison
It is almost five years ago since I have last been to Dublin. I have seen quite a couple of bars last time but not the Quay 14. Maybe this is due to the fact that it is located in a hotel. However, the bar is quite big but still very atmospheric. You have everything […]
14. April 2012: The Auld Dubliner
The Auld Dubliner Platter (EUR 12.30) with chicken wings, onion rings, chicken goujons, cocktail sausages and potato wedges is quite okay. Decent heavy greasy food. Only the cocktail sausages are not really great and outstanding but rather a disappointment. But besides that, the chicken and wedges are both good. And the two sauces with which […]
14. April 2012: The Old Storehouse Bar
The Old Storehouse is a nice Irish bar which is made for tourists and offers live music from 3pm on. The music changes every two hours and is pretty good and entertaining. The atmosphere is lively, the place is crowded and it is generally speaking quite nice. The prices for a pint of Guinness (EUR […]
14. April 2012: Fitzsimons Temple Bar
Traditional Irish food like a “Beef and Guinness Pie” (100% Irish beef slowly cooked in a rich Guinness and mushroom sauce, topped with fresh pastry; EUR 13.00) is definitely a go. It is a bit tricky to eat the pie as the pastry on top of the “pie” (which is more a soup) is not […]
13. April 2012: The Mint Bar @The Westin
It was a Skinny B!+€h (EUR 10.00) which I had in The Mint Bar in the Westin Dublin Hotel. It was made of Grey Goose le citron vodka, cointreau, fresh raspberries, fresh lime juice and blueberry juice and it was pretty tasty. It came from the Superfoods card so it was pretty light but good […]
