Sole Seafood & Grill review: Iâm in shock â â¬35 for chicken supreme using non-free-range Dutch chicken (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I am one of those people who if you turn them around, doesnât know where they are. Actually, I donât even need to be turned around for confusion to set in. And the newly refurbished Sole Seafood & Grill in Dublin is just the place to put this to the test, because, rather than moving to new premises, as I mistakenly thought, it has simply doubled in size within the original building and moved its entrance from South William Street to the far busier Drury Street, right beside Ciss Maddenâs.
Mamó review: Why does this fabulous Howth restaurant not have a Michelin star? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I sometimes question how I feel about formal restaurants. Itâs what happens when you visit rather more of them than a normal person would â not expecting sympathy here â and there is a danger of developing a jaded palate, an occupational hazard. They are restaurants you would typically visit once a year for a special occasion. The important thing for a critic is not to get bored because it is yet another tasting menu. Each restaurant has to be judged with fresh eyes. The danger is dismissi
Gaffe at Leonardâs Corner review: Super prices and a dribblingly good cheeseburger at this neighbourhood pub (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I arrive at Gaffe already primed to like it. On the outside wall beside the entrance to Leonardâs Corner pub, the tipping policy is clearly displayed. How many restaurants have you seen it in? Here, itâs impossible to miss: 100 per cent of tips, gratuities and service charges go to staff. Gaffe came about after John Mahon â the operator behind Luckyâs Bar and The Circular Bar in Dublin 8 â met Yorkshire chef Dan Chambers. Chambers has covered quite a bit of international ground: five y
Ãmós review: Faultless cooking already at two-star Michelin level. Get in before prices rise (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Blanket (2012) â nothing to do with Michael Jacksonâs youngest son â is a large John Newling work of pressed Jersey kale leaves, arranged in uniform rows, which you pass on your way into Cúán Greeneâs recently opened restaurant in Abbeyleix, Co Laois. It is restrained and resonates with the Scandi/Japanese-inspired space: organic, textured and tactile. At Ãmós, there are no plants trailing down from the ceiling, no backlit glass shelves displaying ferments, pickles and preserved pine
Kaizen review: Impressive dim sum and a tantalising âsecret menuâ at this north Dublin restaurant (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A Chinese restaurant is not the first thing that comes to mind when I hear the word Kaizen, it being more associated with the Japanese practice of continuous improvement in manufacturing industries than with restaurants. But Iâve heard so many recommendations for Kaizen in Blanchardstown, Dublin 15 that I find myself heading out to the shopping centre there, appetite sharpened for what is to come. Itâs not actually in the shopping centre. Itâs on the first floor of a strip of restaurants a
