Testing Dublin

In this blog, we are sharing our thoughts about Dublin (Ireland, not Ohio). We have the following in common: we are interested in good food, and like to enjoy it in good company!

The testing will not be limited to food only. For example, we are also planning to see a Gaelic Football game together.

So this is what we have learned in Dublin!

Remark: The ratings are from 1 (bad) to 6 (excellent).

Dowlings Wine Bar

11 Upper Baggot Street, Dublin 2

Participants: U, R, K


Rating
  • Food: 3.5/6
  • Drink: 4.7/6
  • Toilet: 5/6
  • Ambience: 3.3/6

Food
"Mixed platter with prosciutto, cheese, salad, crackers, bread. Quite nice, but you don't go to a wine bar for its food, anyway."

Drink
"We had a bottle of Chinon Charles Joguet. It tasted a bit unusual at the beginning, but got better with every sip. Not the usual stuff."
"Wine tasted of red grapes - I'm pretty sure that's what is was. Maybe a hint of apple. Definitely oak casks. Smokey?!"
"I would like to have better bread, not the ordinary sode one from the supermarket."
Ambience
"Great music, at appropriate volume. Changing temperate with door opened and closed, fireplace up and down. Woman with loud and frequent laugh really spoiled the whole experience."
"But a bit stinky, the fireplace doesn't work properly, but hey! A fireplace!"
"Another guy got himself drunk with Orange lemonade..."
Toilet
"Soap, dryer, paper - all there, even lotion. Fresh flowers."
