Food in Dublin (23-26 march 2007)

There is a lot of pubs and restaurants to choose from in Dublin so it's easy to find something but definitely not easy to choose! Don't forgot that at most pubs and restaurants the service charge is not included in the bill!

Our first night: Gin Palace. Very nice pub, stupid name. They served a great red beer (and I forgot the name) and their food is delicious! We both had salmon which was a very tasty mix of traditional and modern cuisine.

Second night: Fan's Cantonese Restaurant. I have to try Chinese in every city/country I visit at least once. I'm an expert in the differences between sweet&sour sauces in Europe ;-p
The one in Dublin was light and quite sour, very reminiscent of one I had in London. If you try this specific restaurant we'd recommend the "Roast Duck with Prawn Filling" which sounds as yummy as it is.

Third night: The Bull & Castle. A nice Irish pub with very Irish food. They happen to have quite a collection of different beers too. Their stew and pie are great! As a desert they serve an extremely delicious hot soft brownie with a creamy whiskey sauce. See http://www.bullandcastle.ie/castle_index.html

Some other great places to have a drink, snack or some delicious cake:
The Silk Road Café: located in the Chester Beatty Library. Our food tasted great and the other food looked and smelled great too. And they have Tiger beer ;-)
Fitzers Restaurant: located in the National Gallery. Serves a great "gateaux" (that's what they call it on the receipt) and the other food looked good too ;-)

And if that made you hungry: have some pie!
