Glas, which translates to ‘green’ as Gaeilge, is a relatively new kid on the block. This chic eatery opened up just off Grafton Street in October of last year.

I was nearly home and excited to be Etto-bound for dinner. I had spent most of my weekend driving to West Cork and then on to Cork City for work. While both of these places boast some of the best restaurants and produce in the country, unfortunately due to time constraints, most of my eating […]
