Fish Shop – The Best Beer Batter

Leave a Reply

I was recently working on a piece about my favourite dining experiences since I started the blog. One which came to mind was, at the time a small wooden shack in Blackrock Market called Fish Shop

It has since got itself a fantastic permanent home in Smithfield and it’s most certainly on my list of places to revisit. I’ve heard nothing but great reports about the new premises, which is no surprise considering how great my visit to the original was.  So here’s a little look back to Fish Shop in Blackrock Market.

The Seafood Bar by Wrights of Howth. It occupies the space of the former La Stampa restaurant in the Engineers Hall of the Dawson Hotel.  For a space so grand and cavernous, the refurbishment has somehow managed to allow you marvel at its size while giving you dining intimacy with cleverly thought out sections.

Platform 61 – South Williams Basement Bar & Restaurant

Leave a Reply

Groupon recently had a great deal for brunch with a cocktail in Platform 61 for €25. Always interested in trying out new places, naturally I jumped at it.  I promptly booked myself in for a 12.30 bite on a Saturday.  The restaurant is basement level on South William Street. The inspiration for the surrounds came from the legend of Track 61, an underground platform with a golden elevator which took VIP guests up to the Warldorf Astoria above. Continue reading →

The Little Kitchen Restaurant, Serving Up Big Favours

I’ve long been a fan of the The Vintage Kitchen restaurant.  They have been offering up the finest of food for some time now and having visited many times I’ve never been disappointed. When I found out that it had a little sister I was more than a little excited to take a visit to The Little Kitchen (129 Upper Leeson Street) and see how she compared to her older sibling.
