    Hi all

    As title says, just wondering if anyone has tried the veg menu at chapter one, and how was it? I was there when I wasn't a strict vegetarian so ate some fish then, but don't want to do that this time around. myself and the oh have booked there to celebrate our 5 year anniversary. If the veg menu there hasn't been tried by anyone suggestions of a place that has good vegetarian options would be good.
    Thanks

    Both Thornton's and Restaurant 41 (the Residence club) have very good vegetarian menus. I believe The Greenhouse on Dawson St is good too but I haven't tried it (yet). There's a few reasons I don't like Chapter One which I won't go into publicly so I've never tried their menu.

    Pearl Brasserie and Locks Brasserie both have vegetarian menus too, it's a while since I was in the Pearl but it was lovely. Mates (non-veggies) were in Locks at the weekend and loved it but I've not been so can't vouch for the veggie options.

    Edit - forgot I'd been in Chapter One before, but it's years ago before their star, I remember thinking the veggie food was nice certainly a cut above other places at the time, but not really relevant to now.

    Was in Restaurant 41 recently and they had a special vegetarian menu and if it didn't suit were willing to make me something else. Food was really really lovely, tiny portions but I didn't mind.

    I have always really liked the Winding Stairs and they seem to try to use Irish vegetarian cheese in at least one of their dishes.

    It is a few years since I went to Pearl Brassiere and the setting was lovely but they used a lot of Parmesan, Grana Pandano in their so called vegetarian menu so I didn't trust the rest of the menu. Not sure if you eat Parmesan or not or non veggie cheese or not?

    Please let us know wherever you end up going as it is always good to hear opinions on veggie options.

    Portions can seem small in these places alright but with so many courses and the odd "amuse bouche" (some very odd) you don't leave feeling hungry.
