Went to Verona in dooradoyle for coffee on Friday and it looks great , no sample of food but great addition it looks like

Was in there on Friday also for a quick bite.

BLT on nice crust bread with a side salad and my wife had something similar.

Very nice service and the food was lovely.

Went there just before noon and the place had a lovely atmosphere.

Looks like it is doing well which is a good thing.

Gave El Toro a try last night.
I must say it was disappointing, we had 2 combo platters to get a flavour of as much as possible.
The chicken both roast, and skewered was ok.
Nothing special but passable roast chicken with an attempt at bbq flavour.
The skewered beefagain was just ok and the sausage was poor imo.
I was expecting maybe a bit too much for the sausage but to my fast it was mealy and a mush of flavour rather than anything memorable.
Biggest disappointment for me was the pulled pork, it was very bland with no flavour at all imbued by whichever cooking process or rub they use.
Without the sauce it basically tasted like unseasoned slow cooked pork shoulder(which it is) the flavour should come from the marination and cooking rather than a coating of sauce.
I've had better pulled pork from a slow cooker on a kitchen counter top, not to mind actually slow bbq'd/smoked .

The sides again were ok, but nothing stood as good let alone exceptional.
I was hoping for better, not diner's, drive ins and dives standard but maybe something in Limerick that could compete with Bison or BBQ bros in Dublin....
On last night's meal El Toro isn't there yet, but here's hoping 😉

Went back to the Treasury for a meal with friends over the weekend. Z..
Very disappointed..3rd visit in as many months, had been impressed on previous visits service appallingly slow. Great starters, rib eye was muck(5e supplement) and poor deserts..
Wasn't overly busy on the night, need to up their game

Treasury menu doesnt seem to be on their site.

Popped into Crokers in Murroe last weekend, hadn't been there in a while. Had the fillet steak and have to say it was beautiful. Surprised how good a cut of meat it was.

Had the same dish for lunch there today with a friend. We both thought it was delicious.

My third time eating there and I'm a big fan now. Great service too.

With the weekend coming up, where would the nicest pizza I could get delivered to me in Castletroy. Have been to Four Star, Superbites, Express Pizza and Star Pizza.

Nothing wrong with those I've listed above but are they the best pizza's you can get in Limerick?


Forget about Dominos as they are gorgeous but expensive.

My friends get Turkuaz about twice a week. I don't like pizza but everything else they do is amazing.

16-inch pizza, chips and 2 drinks for €9.99. €10 minimum delivery charge and garlic sauce for €1 is absolutely amazing.

Dominos are cheap if you use one of the vouchers on the back of the Dunnes receipts. They often have really good deals on their website too.

Failing that - i really like Casa Nova pizzas, they deliver too.

Was in the Chicken Hut today, and have to say that the portions are getting very small. Still good though, but getting smaller. Anyone else feel the same?

I think its Rockin' Joes now. Bambu right beside it is casual and perfectly acceptable for a quick dinner. Kaya across the road too is good, also the two Japanese places in the city are good. But not sure if they would be open that late.

If all else fails - C.Hut.

Have not been in there in ages and never when I was sober at that.

I was in the French Table on Saturday night on Steamboat Quay. Excellent food & service. Would def recommend

The French table is indeed a fine spot to eat in, excellent service in particular.
The Treasury got a glowing review in this months Food and Wine mag, haven't had a chance to eat there yet but I'm looking forward to it.

The new chipper/pizza place on Henry street (Gino's) is fairly decent, we had chips, pizza, lasagne and southern fried chicken from there last week, all were good, chips as good as anywhere in town, pizza was good, nice thin base, good cheese and sauce. The lasagne was actually gorgeous. Chicken was good as well, retained it's juiciness and had a lovely coating. I hope it stays open as I live quite close by and it's always handy to have a decent takeaway on your doorstep for those lazy evenings.

We've now been to Amber for the third time, and yet again we had very good food (good quality ingredients, well cooked). So I hope they stay around (there have been so many restaurants in that place over the years).

It's all Italians in there now, fresh fish and chips and a nice range of pasta dishes along with the pizza. They also seem to do hot dogs but I don't know what type of sausage they are using,

I know that weekend is long over, and you were asking about a place that delivers, but anyone in the Castletroy area should really not rely on having a pizza from the usual places delivered - just call into La Cucina, for one of the nicest pizzas possibly in the whole country :cool:
