Recession Dating....

Depending on what food you like, Wagamommas off stephens green is a cool place for a date. Its informal and reasonably inexpensive. A main is quite filling for around 12e. Serves asian type food. Rice and noodles.

Or Elephant and Castle in temple bar and get the wings to share. So messy but really tasty! Depending on how busy it is when you arrive for a table you can pop in for a drink instead of waiting?! Then get hagandaas icecream for desert as you walk home/around.

Funny you should say that as I am addicted to wings but don't like the ones in E&C. I know, shock horror!!

Took a walk about town today and looked at a few early birds and have shortlisted a few placed.

On a side note it would be good to keep this thread going as a reference for recession dating(not necessarily first dates) for people. Il be sure to let you know where I choose to go and what the food and place were like.

Cheers

The Harbourmaster has a nice snacks menu, everything in and around a tenner so it's not a formal meal but nice food. Wings are yum.

Thaispice is also pretty good and not very expensive.

Le Bon Crubeen (talbotstreet) is excellent food and great value.

Gourmet Burger Kitchen..though it depends how much you are trying to impress on first date

If you can possibly get in for the early bird menus, there are some great deals out there.

If its a daytime date, loads of the museums in Dublin are free. I love the natural history museum and the national gallery, just by Merrion Square.

If you're O2 you have daily treats which give you 2 for 1 on lots of resteraunts and cheap cinema tickets, and keep an eye on dealpage.ie for some cheap meal vouchers or whatever.

I love the burrito places in Dublin, think its like a tenner for a burrito and a drink, and you'd be stuffed!

And after a first date, a home cooked meal and a DVD is a great second date!

Agreed. You impress her with your culinary skills, it's cheaper, and you have a way bigger chance of 'gettin it rode'.

Don't buy petrol station wine though. major faux pas.

So tesco wine gets a roide from you eh?

Cheap date and a sure thing.. what more could a guy want???

I've only ever once had a guy give me wine! And that was from my boyfriend who can't drink so he gave me a bottle he was given.

Every time he cooks for me I get diluted orange, and I'm still a sure thing then

And when I cook I provide myself with wine.

I'm as cheap as they get :pac:

Kesk on upper leason streen, it's North African food, nice not to expensive. It has no wine license so you can buy one next door in the expensive wine shop, down the road in the SPAR or bring one with you from home, they don't charge corkage. Number is 016689793

Maybe see if any of your family or friend with kids have a zoo memebrship.

Great place for a date
