Great for a cheap lunch menu if you’re patient – and only then: Restaurant Dudu 31 (27. May 2022)
Sometimes, you find quite nice places where you would not expect it and especially the fact that they offer very reasonably priced lunch menus is quite appealing. However, you have to be quite patient since the service is friendly but not necessarily the most attentive. I went for the business lunch menu (EUR 12.90) which […]
A nice pop-up where you need to be patient: Pop-Up Restaurant Rössli Garage Albisrieden (25. May 2022)
Sometimes you’re lucky, and the pop-up restaurant is in walking distance from home – like this time. The Pop-Up Restaurant Rössli Garage was organized in the former Jaguar Garage and was set quite nicely. It looked, at first, that the place was not going to fill up, but I suppose it was really just that […]
Grossly overrated and not worth visiting: Restaurant The Wild Goose Grill (22. May 2022)
FALSE ADVERTISING! That’s what this place is all about. It’s trying so hard to be something it’s not. The 4.7 Rating on Google is in no way justified. The place looks rather old (okay, one can always argue about taste) in terms of its interior design. Sure, things don’t have to be ‘modern’ but you’re […]
A lovely speakeasy with great drinks: The Blind Pig (22. May 2022)
The Blind Pig is a Speakeasy which you should absolutely book in advance. The place is hidden and easy to find if you know how. Basically, you have to look for the Restaurant Pacino’s … … walk in and follow the “shhh” sign … … and push the little piggies head to the left and […]
Definitely the most mouth-watering prawns I’ve had in my entire life: Restaurant King Sitric Seafood Bar (22. May 2022)
In all honesty, I would never have gone out here to Howth if it wasn’t for Anthony Bourdain who had visited King Sitric a few years ago in one of his episodes. Given, he did, and we were close anyway, we decided to give it a try and drove out here for having a real […]
Absolutely outstanding drinks in an amazing setting: No. 27 Bar & Lounge @ The Shelbourne (21. May 2022)
I had originally planned to stay at The Shelbourne Hotel which is an Autograph Collection hotel – so, one of my favourites in the Marriott group. However, it turned out that this weekend was a Rugby match, so things were kind of in the incredibly high hotel prices area making it somewhat unappealing to stay […]
Definitely a great find with room to improve to make it close to perfect: Restaurant Forest Avenue (21. May 2022)
If you want to dine at the Forest Avenue, you better book your table way in advance. I booked with about 6 to 7 weeks heads up and there weren’t too many tables available any more. Once you book, you have to pay the “10 Course Surprise Tasting Menu” (EUR 98.00) in advance, i.e., the […]
Great for the view but definitely overpriced when it comes to the Guinness: Gravity Bar @ Guinness Storehouse (21. May 2022)
When you are in Dublin, you kind of must visit the Guinness Brewhouse – so that’s what we did. It’s a good decade ago since I’ve last been here, and I must say that in my memory, it was somewhat nicer and more appealing. In any case, once you’ve walked your way up to the […]
