The Restaurant Recommendation Thread

Faith

There's been a crazy number of threads recently looking for restaurant recommendations, so I'd like to start a specific thread for it. Please post below about your favourite restaurants - why you like them, what price range they are, what type of food they serve, if they have an early bird, opening hours if you know them, where they're located. If you could include a link to the website, that would be great. The more details, the better. This is not a thread to post negative reviews - there's a thread in the main Food & Drink forum for that if you like. Basically, I want this thread to be full of recommendations, not positive and negative reviews. That being said, you can disagree with a recommendation briefly if you really feel the need to, but you must have a really valid reason such as an awful experience, rather than "I don't really like the food" or "It's too expensive".

Just ordered a cook at home box from west cork burger. 8 burgers, sauces, rashers, sauce, gherkins, buns delivered for 40 bucks. A fiver per burger, and can be cooked fresh on the BBQ tomorrow - will report!

Pricey enough for diy but if its nice the convenience and novelty would be worth it for me.

A little off topic perhaps but .... as long as the english market is open i can happy live without restaurants (no disrespect to them - i feel sorry for business owners and staff).. would be lost without fresh fish though.. love Ballycotton Seafoods..

Wouldn't mind some of their Tendon Noodle Soup!

That's exactly what we are missing.

Or the spicy mung bean noodle soup (it's crazy hot but addictive - think tears, snots, coughing, sweating etc - but 5 minutes later, your mouth doesn't hurt!)

Does that one do all the soup noodles and more Chinese stuff?
Their "Asian Street Food" menu does nothing for me.

TBH, we rarely eat anywhere else apart from home - except for rare occasions.

No, the site claims to be making nothing out of it, so they're not going to stand over the vouchers. I asked.

Too bad, it's something I would like to support but its just a little too risky for me. Will continue to support those doing takeaway for now.

Captain America's is back open again, unfortunately dont have their Philly cheese steak on the takeaway menu, an old favourite for me. Got a cajun chicken burger that was on point, that sauce is beautiful, completely made the meal.

Lovely idea but the site should stand over the voucher and transfer it if somewhere doesn't reopen as they're surely taking a percentage of every voucher.

Think I'll stick to one4all vouchers if I need a present for anyone.

If the business does not reopen, you lose the voucher - same as if any business closes having issued vouchers - you'd join a long line of people owed money with little to no chance of recovery.

Nice idea but a little risky!

This is a nice initiative set up to help local cafes and businesses through this time. It allows you to buy gift vouchers to use in the future. The obvious question is what happens if the business you buy from doesn't reopen, they don't address this at all in the FAQ.

Herself picked it up and Staff were rude even giving out that they were waiting to close and that she was late (closing time wasn't advertised) and that in future you can't change pizza toppings

They might have changed their packaging standards now , but the last time I ordered WCB - the bag was delivered wide open. As in , the delivery man could have reached in and eat chips out of the bag if he felt like it.

That happened twice and I never ordered from there again. No loss as it was way over priced anyway. Although the food tasted pretty good at the time , which was about a year ago.

Not in Douglas but Wilton Willow deliver to Douglas. Very good value and big portions. They give free cans of coke too!

KCs re-opened but had to close shortly after due to breach of social distancing. They need to set up a delivery service

Roosters still open I think and O'Sullivan'spub have a take away menu

Golden Fry still open but you need to queue on the street before you order so you could be queuing a while

Most of the others are on Just Eat etc

Also got WCB last weekend, wasn't too impressed at all either tbh.

It's seriously overpriced for what you get in return. Wouldn't bother again.

We got Koto this evening and it was gorgeous. Rang up and placed the order, and then just had to turn up at a specific time to pick it up. No problems social distancing - they have set up the lobby almost like a hatch where you pay and pick up your food. Contactless payments only.
