We are staying on McCurtain street and are looking for suggestions for some good restaurants in the area? Open to suggestions for any food types but not too expensive. Thanks

The last sighting I had of Mr Idaho was when him and his possie including Eoin Kennedy were on Twitter trying to get the artist on Patrick Street kicked off the street the the filthy tactics like "I wonder what paye he's paying" I called him out on it and he blocked me. Good riddance. Anyway myself and the wife have a hospital appointment in the city today so can anyone recommend anywhere to grab some lunch, I'm looking for somewhere that we haven't tried and nothing high brow maybe like a wings or nacho starter, burger, fajita or pasta main. I was thinking Gallagher's or spitjack?

I got the Breakfast Bap (floury Bun, square of good black pudding, Bacon, Cheese, fried egg and relish with some greens) it was very good, and the missus god avocado and egg on toast which was also excellent. with 2 coffees it came to about 25 euro but I got a take away raspberry scone too which was magical. decor is fantastic, service is great, food is great, 9/10

I had the potato rosti, which came with black pudding, a glossy fried egg, fried onion, rashers and a blob of tangy relish. The rosti was crispy, moist, and just as it should be. The accompaniments were all fab too. One of my friends had the pancakes with strawberries & cream, and the other had the half Irish breakfast. Both also found them to be excellent. They offered 3 different types of coffee bean, can't remember which I had off the top of my head but it was really good & gorgeously presented. The orange juice tasted freshly squeezed. They also had a selection of fresh sandwiches on the menu which I'll definitely be returning to sample. There was a counter display filled with dessert type goodies, again, the presentation was impeccable, I was almost drooling looking at it. My only regret was not getting one for takeaway! My only slight criticism was that you have to order at the counter - no table service. I found the staff to be friendly & polite despite being run off their feet, the place isn't long open & the queue was out the door. All in all I would highly recommend. Its now up there with Ali's Kitchen & The River Lee hotel as one of my favourite brunch spots.

JackieChang wrote: » It's called lamb grill. Super succulent cuts of lamb fillet in a sort of turkish arrangement with bread, salad, sauce, chips etc. The flavor of the lamb is like heroin to me. The way I describe it sounds like a late night kebab... but it's not don't worry.
