I tried the spicy beef noodle soup and it's the best Chinese dish ive had in Ireland by an absolute mile. It's not overly exotic at all so I have no idea why they are making the menu so inaccessible for locals...

But I'm the pretentious one? My preferred places are anything from a takeaway, to the Thady Inn, with a dog at my feet, to special occasion places, and everything in between. I'm willing to give most stuff a go as long as it's honest. Fakery, like that place, is my one and only dislike. If you prefer that hipster falseness, it's there for ya. Enjoy.

Fills a niche nicely for a lot of the population I’d say. It’s absolutely perfect for anyone missing a personality.

Anytime I've been there, I'd have the burger gone in about a minute and I'd still be hungry for more. Gourmet burger and West Cork burger do far nicer burgers and most restaurants will do a bigger burger, bigger portion of chips with more extras for the same price (15ish euro). Elmtree do a massive burger with chips for €15 euros that is miles ahead of Son of a Bun in overall taste and value for money

Far better than the over-hyped and expensive Las Tapas de Lola in Dublin. The only minor quibble is that the place is a bit chilly in a cold winter's evening, so wrap up. Ate in Osteria di Mirco before Christmas and it was very nice too, not your typical red sauce joint "Italian"

Richmond Ultra wrote: » Went to the Rendezvous for dinner with a friend last night. Very expensive mediocre grub. I had a chicken curry. The chicken was hardly sliced to cook it. Some pieces were 3/4 inches big. It lacked in presentation. The friend got a burger. The bun was nearly falling off the plate on presentation. No sauce in the burger and the chips were over cooked frozen ones. It was mediocre. I'll stick to a pint there and skip the food next time.
