Am I reading the glass curtiain menu correctly? **** 90 euro for a steak?
I smell a rat here..
De Calf for lunch on Sat... fabb... loads of good efficient staff and food is great - price fine,.. love it - and twas thriving
Dear scrotist, Maybe “the missus” doesn’t need to try it out with you, as you’re reluctant to appreciate her efforts to look nice and spend her time with you.
Hint. Find an occasion, there is always something.
Well theres castle-martyr,
It'd probably be cheaper to fly to paris ,
But theyre 2 star now , so maybe not any better ...
Glass curtain is pretty fancy , or Greenes -both on macurtain street,
Jacobs on the mall?
The Kingsley?
lol you said fancy!!
Hmmm....how about something that won't break the bank :D It's not a special occasion or anything. Other than trying out a new dress.
Is Montenotte fancy?
Mmmmm hayfield manor maybe?
What's a fancy restaurant where the missus can go and "try out" her new black classy dress and not look out of place?
It's a red carpet at the oscars sort of dress or maybe low lighting restaurant with piano player in the background.
Will probably have to get a flight to Paris or something.
Unfortunately we've a veggie here that isn't too keen on veggies, and we try get something into her like tofu. Very hard to get it. Haven't looked at their menu recently though.
Personally think Camille is complete shite! Go for golden elephant instead of in Douglas!
I had thali takeaway…find coriander in Douglas far nicer
Had Camille Thai from Grange last night. €15 per mains, (incl rice) but I found that pricey for what I got. Chicken was like rubber. Cannot fathom how it was so bad. Tough and chewy. Tofu was ok. Got potatoes aswell, just chilli power thrown it, tasted rotten. Won't be returning unfortunately.
I really hope that people don't just vote with their feet and actually give feedback to the owners/manager(s). Having gone their twice, I think Ichigo Ichie got a lot of praise that they didn't really deserve. Great idea, I enjoyed the food but it was lacking in multiple areas across both visits. I won't be returning any time soon, if ever.
I had food in Golden Elephant lately and the service was shite because they genuinely spent 90% of their time organising takeaway orders and really dropped the ball serving our table (and presumably other tables too).
I said it to the owner on my way out; I'd want to know if I was doing something wrong!
Had dinner in the new incarnation of ichigo ichie.
Wasn't bad overall but wasn't overly impressed either. I would say that Michelin have been quite kind to them with the Bib Gourmand award, I wouldn't have thought it met that standard personally.
I felt the menu was quite sparse, with very little variation, rice bowl, hot soba, cold soba and a few specials.
To be honest, I'd have preferred to have just gone to the takeaway and waited for a stool as the menu up there offers far far more choice. I would have taken any special from the takeaway over any of the specials in the restaurant on the night in question.
I feel not having any sushi or sashimi on the menu is a massive miss.
But it is probably understandable with the costs of running these sort of businesses these days, just disappointing I guess.
I find takeaway coffee and absolute waste of money. People buying 3 or 4 a day and I could make better at home, I cant understand.
gee - well yeah - costa is outrageous - almost €4 for a bakewell slice which has about 3 bites in it
Flat white in Costa in Cork is now a whopping €4.25.
was in Dublin for the weekend - was on lots of cafe's etc.. prices for a flat white varied from €3.55 - €4.05..
so €4.10 for same in Dripsey?! - i won't be going back unless my mates really want to
but Q - I was only ever in Perry St in the city - twice in the past - pre covid - and I think it was queue and order - given a spoon with a number - then items brought to your table.. but it was table service in Dripsey - are all Perry Streets table service now?
I had lunch in the Ringaskiddy one last month, didnt find the food great there to be honest.
Perry Street just opened inside McD's garden centre in Dripsey and have to say it's lovely. Definitely pricey for mains but soup and sandwich deal at €12.99 was very tasty and a good size. Really kind staff in there too.
Ringaskiddy is my nearest Perry Street venue; I find the staff are generally nice but the management are consistently rude. It's like me being there is inconveniencing them. Also, on more than one occasion I've been served by a staff member, only to have the manager walk over and literally commandeer the order from them in a very awkward way to what I'd perceive as the staff members dismay.
It's so bloody expensive and their coffee is awful, mass produced, burnt muck (Drury Lane).
Agree.
Used to go to the Ringaskiddy one, the city once in a while, but value for money declined over the last while, in Ringaskiddy anyway. Way overpriced in most things and poor value for breakfast, particularly the mini one. They have an ideal spot there,but have out-priced locals imo.
I actually go there if I’m in town on a Saturday really early as it opens at 8am. But it’s only for a coffee.
any Perry Street cafe fans here?
That response from Ichigo Ichi was shite!
I’d be hard pressed to bother going there.
yeah - I get you - but €€€
My sister lives in Dripsey, so it's good to see that some business settled into the old garden centre, but... Ouch €€€
Perry Street @ McD's Dripsey today - €15 for a small flat white, tea, scone and some brown bread...
flat white (small) = €4.10
Are Khyber Grill and Spice Inn run by the same people?
I notice some identical wording on their online menus.
