I can't vouch for the existance of vegetarian dishes but they I can say, hand on heart, the fillet beef steak is divine. They have a very varied menu and the occasional little 'sample dish' from the chef. The house red (two months ago) is also wonderful. I'd picked it off the winelist before I discovered that it's their house choice too.
Staff are good, friendly, knowlegable and most importantly totally unpretensious.
You also get the 'good karma' feeling as you leave realising that a chunk of your cash is going to a charity.
The only drawback to the place is the noise level. Tiny tiny complaint and that won't stop me from going there again and again.I'm older than Minecraft goats.

Tasty food.
I dont think you need to justify yourself (even in a tongue in cheek way) to post here though.:)
I for one,and Im sure Im not alone,want female input.If it was up to me,anywhere that does a good steak wins!
Speaking of which,Ive got the beer hungers,and there is a sirloin in the fridge that Ive been flirting with all day.Hmmmm.0 -

If you're in Dublin, The Cedar Tree is a great spot. Lebanese food, great service, nice place. It's that little bit different, which I like. There's a few other places, but for the life of me, I can't think of them at the moment - I haven't been out for a nice meal in Dublin in ages.
For those out of the pale, and more specificly, towards Waterford, my favorite place (I think, even with all my travels) is a little Italian cafe called Harlequins. Been going there for nearly three years now, fantastic every time. Was there last night and all - It's nice and small, staff are great. Everything cooked in front of you, everything fresh. The only place I could compare it to in Dublin is L'enotica (sp?) in Inchicore - though it's far far better
If you like that, but want something more formal, La Taverna on High St. is run by the same folk, it's a more flashy, but still down-to-earth good food. Can't complain. Prices aren't the worst either - I just prefer how informal Harlequins is.
Add L'Athmosphere to the Waterford list - French place, lovely food. Nice place too. Early bird = three courses and a glass of wine for a score, but order from the A La Carte, and the portions are waaaaay bigger (not that there's anything wrong with the Early Bird sizes!) Main waiter is a bit snooty, but the rest of the staff are grand.0 -
Hmm. . . I dont really know Dublin restaurants all that well, but all is forgiven as I am not a Dub :pac:. But here is what I do know
Shanghri La - Stoneybatter, D7. A bit small and not the prettiest but damn fine food.
Trentuno's - Castleknock, D15. Real nice. and not too overpriced.
Bar food in the crown plaza, Blanchardstown D15 is good too!

Not at all, shur three of mine are in the sticks!
I guess I'll throw in one of my old favorites
Mongolian BBQ in Temple Bar, all you can eat - I think the Early Bird is 17 quid and 24 quid after 7 - It's the exact same for both. It's great because you put together your own grub and they barbeque it. You only have to put in what you like - There's veggie/seafood options too, along with plenty of meat and veg.
Fair enough selection of wine afaik (I don't drink wine - Stick to my beers ) Again, it's that bit different. Some fantastic flavours in there. Just be warned, the spices are spicy.
Head across the river to Sín É for post dinner drinks and a bit of craic then.0 -

Was in dire need of roast beef carvery after your boastfullness. Kettles is a little culchie enclave on the backroad between Swords and Ashbourne and favoured by farming types. They do country vegatables too and know what you mean if you say spuds.. I'm sorrrrrrry. . .
So did you go? Or are you going?0 -

I was really looking forward to the Cedar Tree but had a very bad meal there. I probably just had an off night there but that is all one needs really0 -

That's a shame - It really does only take one off night though
With the Mongolian BBQ, you either like it or you don't. I do, you can have a bit of banter putting your dish together, you get the food you want, and don't have to take anything you don't like, so you're not going to be picking or leaving food behind. I like what's there aswell.0 -

Not really that romantic though. It's definitely a great place to grab dinner with a few friends due to the canteen like seating. The food is very good and prepared very fast. There's nearly always a queue out the door, but the turnaround of patrons is so fast that you are never waiting more than 10 minutes. The bench like seating also insures that groups of odd numbers don't waste seats at even numbered tables.
I suppose it's not romantic, but then again, romance isn't everyone's scene! It's good for a casual bite to eat, where you can just talk and relax a bit 0 -

We once took a trip to Supermacs Navan when we couldn't get into the latre Orangerie in Malahide.
Lol!
Funny story. We'd often call McDonalds 'The Golden Arches' taking the piss, and have a bit of a wind up for people not in on the joke, saying it's a really well-to-do Chinese restaurant, top notch food, and all the rest. One of the lads mentioned it in work, and one of the other chaps working there thought it was hilarious, and told his brother about it.
Said brother also thought it was hilarious, and told his then girlfriend they were going to the Golden Arches that Saturday night. She turned up in her best clothes, dolled up to the nines. Hair done and all.
He went home a single man. 0 -

Sorry to hijack the thread but what recommendations can be made for a dinner for a small group of friends in Dublin. Somewhere a bit upmarket with good food and a decent selection of wine. Something along the lines of Dobbins but but with decent portions :pac: 0 -
The Trocadero, Sth Andrew Street. Early deal of 3 courses for €25.00 and all the ambiance you could throw a breadroll at.ToxicPaddy wrote: »Sorry to hijack the thread but what recommendations can be made for a dinner for a small group of friends in Dublin.

Doesn't need to be an early bird, like I said its for an occasion so I dont mind splashing the cash a little but will definitely take it into consideration. Have never eaten there but its looks good on the outside.. 0 -
