When it comes to eating out in Dublin there are a ton of options. I started this blog because the shitty review sites and critics were all so biased and never wrote honest reviews. Luckily though things are getting way better because many restaurants are bypassing media completely and talking directly to customers via social […]

I lived on Camden Street for about 2 years. A place called Montague Lane just above a casino. It was a dump but it was close to work and I convinced myself it was “lively”. It was in fact a complete and utter shit hole of an area especially after 10 o’clock in the evening. […]

Ingredients Rib eye steak (bigger the better) Potatoes Garlic Butter Rocket Rosemary Balsamic vinegar This is just about as classic a dish as you’re ever likely to find.

Builders were having fois gras burgers for elevenses, Eddie Rockets seriously considered introducing silver service butlers and a record 6 bottles of champagne were sold on the Northside of Dublin throughout 2006. The money got to people’s heads and one place that epitomised the […]

You can’t patent a restaurant. Some of the best restaurants in the world are ideas that people have brought back from other countries and just replicated for a local market. As much as you might dislike Starbucks for example every coffee shop in the world copies their model now. Chefs copy dishes and get inspiration […]

The whole country is fucking broke at the moment. We’ve a cloud of depression hanging over us all but the only silver lining is that the restaurant scene is getting seriously cool in Dublin. Something pretty special is happening in this city and it’s happening because of the recession. Restauranteurs are being forced to get […]

I wanted to make a list of the absolute must have things to eat in the city. Before people get all arsey I’d like to point out firstly that these are my own personal preferences and that I’ve included some from twitter below the post and you should include your own in the comments for balance. […]

So after a small delay for my trip over to Silicon Valley for my Entrepreneur of the year nomination I have finally had some free time to sit down and go through the couple of hundred applications. I’ve been blown away by the effort, time and imagination that people went to in an effort to […]

As you know I review restaurants here on the blog but today I’ve gone for a shop. I hadn’t planned to but when I walked out of Donnybrook fair with ingredients for a meal for 3 and a bill for 56 Euros I thought it was about time the place was judged with the same […]
