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".

Am I crazy or is there about four places working out of Captain Americas at the moment?

Wowburger. Dollard Pizza. Captian America's itself and now Double 8.

Thanks.
You'd think they'd put a sign of some sort up as they do take out as well as delivery.
My wife was looking for a snack the other day and I sent her there but she came back saying she couldn't find it.
Got goyza from LaoDao, instead.

I don't know. Perhaps they operate from the kitchen in South Main Street and they haven't put up a sign yet?

Is it a ghost kitchen?

Those warehouses where branded groups rent catering space and hook up to drliveroo?

On Double 8 - Is this more of a snack/lunch type place, or would you get a dinner out of it? Would it be a good idea for a Sat night takeaway, or would you be left hungry?

Just a slice was fine, today. This was from the castle street/South main street /paradise place outlet. Don't know if this makes a difference. Like many of these things, it's probably most dependent on who's working there at the time.

nah i don't think it does - have had em from all 3 locations at one time or another over the years.. have often had to go further than Pembrook St when the queues wer too long.. oh gee - those wer the days - pubbin and clubbin - seems like a long time ago - darn virus!

I'd love to see them do a similar job to the Stella in the Savoy!! It's a fantastic space, totally wasted, and the Cocktail bar in the Stella is class!
As I type, actually, I remember before Christmas that an "un-named food and beverage group" had taken over the Pavillion, so i wonder if thats where they are going?

I love the Stella. I'll always take myself out to Rathmines if I'm in Dublin with a bit of time to kill. I think the Savoy would be a great space for something similar.

Was hungry in town so I got a slice of pizza from Fast Al's.
Last time I had pizza from there it was beyond awful so I wasn't expecting much.
It was actually pretty tasty - too much cheese, but it is Ireland!

You can never have too much cheese (IMO).

Town is in within my 5k but haven't been in since before Christmas. I'm gonna have to go in for pierogi and dumplings soon though

Was talking to the guy in there and they will also eventually have Coo Coo and Rice sold out of that unit. All in it looks like Press Up have Cork in their sights between recent addition of Elephant and castle, WowBurger, Dollard and Co plus the above, plus Sophie's in the Dean hotel actually. I also hear they are eyeing a Stella Cinema and cocktail bar in the Savoy.

People will have mixed feelings on that I'm sure but personally think its not a bad thing to expand the offering of the city centre. Theyre a big group yes but its not like McDonalds on every corner each restaurant is from the outside a standalone venture, and they tend to do very nice refurbs of old building where they can.

Lol.
I thought my rant was in the Covid thread and assumed it was swiftly deleted.

I dunno.. i just saw about Sober Lane on FB...

I know that Naturally Nourished started back this week too ... i really like their food for lunch from time to time

It is indeed, got a takeaway for lunch there today. Menu is reduced somewhat but still plenty choice. Quite nice to sit on the benches on the quay in the sunshine with a very noticeable lack of traffic. If only the drone wasn't flying around all the time we were there

OK, I might get in trouble here for back seat moderating but I really don't care.
This is a valuable thread and it will get closed if people don't stop bickering and being disrespectful.

So, can posters, please stop referring to other posters with terms like "lad", and "kid". It's really passive aggressive, rude and disrespectful.

Why the need for adding any address at the end of your posts? Is it just to poke and annoy?

There's a few posters at it all the time.
Please stop.

Also things like, "cop on", "grow up" etc.
No one here has any right to tell any other poster what to do. Attack the post not the poster!
