Restaurant Recommendation Thread - Anyone for seconds?

I can't seem to edit the pic into my last post.

market Lane Thursday night

Flawless in every way - food, ambiance and service..

I wish other restaurants in the city would follow suit!

Spice in Carrigaline announced last week that they would have to close and it was their final week, but today they have come out and said that due to massive support and some other factors going their way (not sure what these could be), they have found a way to remain open.

Yeah, a friend went and wasn't too impressed. Said the sauces were fine but that the pasta was awful - wallpaper paste was mentioned.

Goldie is Ireland's no. 1 restaurant according to the Irish Times top 100 for 2025. A lot of us won't be surprised by this

Iyers will be serving food from O'Sho's every Monday.

Might have to make that a new routine 🤔

@the beer revolu do I have to ring to book Nosh19?or can I just show up?

Great thanks, heading during the week so should be fine

Glodie doesn't miss. It just doesn't.

how about Cafe Spresso on MacCurtain St? passed by it tonight - twas still open at 9pm which surprised me

Went to Golden Elephant in town yesterday for a bit of dinner.

I thought it was only alright. A minced chicken basil dish was way too salty (as in l left still feeling hungry but didn't finish this dish) . Papaya salad wasn't much better, no subtitles at all - just sugar acid and salt. Heavy handed with the fish sauce, too.

If I had made either of those dishes at home, I wouldn't be particularly thrilled with myself.

Ingredients were good and fresh, there just seemed to be a lack of attention to detail. Prices would be fine if the cooking was a bit better.

Wasn't crazy about the ordering on your phone system but, again, I'd put up with that if the food was a bit better.

Our server was really very pleasant and enthusiastic. She said she'd bring our feedback to the kitchen but no communication came back.

The Thai food we had in Athlone a few months ago was much better, we both thought.

I wouldn't say it's bad - just your average Thai restaurant standard for Ireland.

Edit : forgot to say that it wasn't spicy at all - I mean could hardly detect chilli at all. And we upgraded the spice to +1 teaspoon chilli (1/2 teaspoon is the default). It seems if you want it any way spicy, you need to pay extra.

Further edit : the owner called me to discuss the issues and offer me a voucher to the value of the meal (and strongly hinting that I might take down the 3* Google review - same review as what's here). Apparently it made the Thai chef cry, he was devastated. I did take down the review but I'm not sure that I want to go back in the circumstances.
