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".

Have to buy food to buy a pint. Plactic cups..cannot see it lasting. I live near it the burger is like Burger King anywhere else would be nicer

They seem to be doing a good trade from what I've seen in the carpark queue for collection. In laws had their usual curry from there last weekend and enjoyed it at €13.95. I wouldn't get a take away burger from anywhere tbh as it's going to be cold when you get home no matter where you get it.

Just got Jacques take away. I should of heeded the red flag when I rang up to order. Collection by 5pm, and it needs to be cooked when you get home.

Got a fish pie with a small green salad and dessert. The pie was nice, but only marginally better than what one would get in SuperValu and bung in the oven.

Pretty disappointed for €35 to be honest. Maybe other meals are better value, but sadly I won't be going back to check them out after this.

I did buy a nice bit of wine from feed your senses. Gonna miss them.

Anyone ever eaten from Wabi-Sabi or Okura?

Love wabisabi, they're my favourite for quick lunch in town. Particularly enjoy the udon soups (the broth is fantastic) and their bento boxes, which are pretty good value I think.

Haven't tried Okura to compare though.

35 euro fed the 2 of us, just. I actually wasn't that hungry at the time we ate but still all gone. Granted it was tasty, but small. About the size of a fish pie you'd get in SuperValu for €7.

The crumble desert we topped up with ice cream. It was like ordering 1 desert, 2 spoons.

Plus one to wabisabi one of my go to places in town for a quick lunch there Ramon is lovely,

Got a take away from them last week spent I think 28 euros but me and my girlfriend were so full after it and could not move !!!

Just got son of a bun. Got a One burger, dirty chicken burger and fries. Stuffed and struggling to finish it, but damn tasty.

Got Koto through Deliveroo last night. Was unreal! Had a hake dish. Would highly recommend.

Iyer's are back open for take away from tomorrow. Order today.

Following the advice of the good folks here, we got burgers from the fish wife last night.....

Shhhhhhhtap! Absolutely savage, the meat itself tasted exactly like the ones we used to get from the butchers back home donkeys years ago. I was firmly in the "why go to the fish wife and not get fish" camp, but I agree with others here that its easily one of the best in town.

I'm not sure of the name of the one I get but it's one of the cheapest on the menu, 2 patties, 2 slices of bacon and 2 slices of smoked cheese as well as onion and tomato (which is just wrong on a burgerðŸ€¢)
Fantastic value and I've yet to have a better burger in town and I include the fancy burger joints in that.

Fish wife burgers are good, alright.
Only burger in town as good or better is Bunsen, IMO.
Went off Fish Wife after some extremely poor customer service, though.

I find Bunsen quite overpriced for what you get.

It was damn tasty what we got though. Seriously tasty burger.

Just had spitjack for the second time there. Excellent again. Their chips suffer from a bit of sweating on the drive home, but everything else is top notch.

Got pizza from Burnt this evening. Meh. It was okay. Nothing is on par with Pompeii pizza but they were not taking orders when we were having dinner. Order was rejected through Deliveroo. Must have been busy I’m guessing.

Have you tried Palmento? How does it compare?

Tried the new Japanese restaurant in Douglas the other night.

Okura it's called.

Very good portion sizes and very tasty, fresh food. Lovely presentation too, even for takeaway. Would definitely recommend. Nice fish rice bowls - I had the Duck Tepanyaki combo which came with loads of stuff - miso soup, tasty veg, lovely garlic fried rice too. Very, very nice.

Good to support them too. Must be very hard opening up during all this.

I got Bocellis on Deliveroo tonight, I had the Tagliatelle Prestrige which was really delicious and excellent value for money.
I used to go there quite frequently before coronavirus and I’ve never had a bad meal in there. It’s about as authentic Italian as you’ll get in Ireland.
They're quite off the beaten track so I hope they survive the lockdown and the aftermath of all this, I’d be very sorry to see them have to close.

A Burger is €7.45
That's all I've ever had there.
I think it's a very fair price for the size and quality.

Has anyone gotten pizza from Rita's? It's a pop up pizza place by city Hall. Might get it tonight

Had Burnt once, thought it was over priced rubbish. Awful name for a restaurant too

Glad to see them getting on with it after the closure of their restaurant.

Novecento still the best imo. Perfect balance of thin base and toppings. Oak fire is very good though.

They're on the roadside across from the GAA club, just before the Brook.
