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).

Rating

  • Drinks: 4.9/6
  • Atmo: 5.5/6
  • Toilet: 3.5/6

Food
  • "We shared _lots_ of starters, the waiter chose for us - excellent!"
  • "I had 'Sultan's pleasure' - for men only! Excellent lamb, slowly roasted."
  • "Layla vegetarian platter: A very nicely prepared dish."
  • "Absolutely loved the starters! The wine leaves were so juicy you almost had to drink them."
  • "All a bit centered on lamb and aubergine."
  • "Everything seemed to be fresh and well-prepared"

Drinks
  • "Ayran with mint: was OK, would like more flavour/spices, though."
  • "All-you-can-drink Turkish tea, but never got a refill. Didn't ask for it either, though. Strong and sweet."
Atmo
  • "Great roof terrace for summer!"
  • "Very nice interior and decoration."
  • "Service friendly and personal." "Warm welcome."
  • "We missed the belly dancing... And the desserts! We'll have to come back!"
Toilet
  • "Flushing! The Irish toilet problem! It was one of those toilets that allow flushing only every 15 minutes or so..."

Very nice idea. The problem with food in Ireland is that good means always (sometimes always..)expensive. Try The Claremont (good money spinner). Bon apetit.

l'home bombeta,
thanks for your comment - we try that ;-)

And you are right - sometimes you get charged way too much for what you get when going out...
But, you know, therefore we limit ourselves to the promising locations! ;-)
