So you want to bring your mammy somewhere nice to eat, but you’re not too sure where. You probably don’t want to be taking her somewhere where she can’t hear herself think, doesn’t like the cut of that shifty-lookin’ waiter, or deems the menu to have more notions than food. In no particular order, here […]

The Dublin restaurant scene has changed dramatically over the last couple of years. Gone are the starched linens, inflated prices and snooty waiters, they’ve been replaced with a new wave of New York-style hipster joints with casual menus, staff dressed like scruffs and no ability to book tables. Crackbird is the big daddy of the […]

Let’s be honest, brunch is by far the greatest meal that’s ever been invented. The best parts of breakfast mixed with epic lunch treats you don’t normally get to eat, always at reasonable prices and washed down with fresh juices, coffee and sometimes alcohol. Throw in the social element and the fact that it’s served […]

When it comes to making plans to eat out, I find we all fall into the same old traps. We either head into town or go down to the local spot. As the city continues to evolve gastronomically, there are now hundreds of brilliant restaurants, cafés and bars in the suburbs. I wanted to highlight a few that are […]

Dublin is a funny little city which I heard somebody describe yesterday as more of a group of little villages around the bay than a big city. Blackrock, Sandymount, Clontarf, Malahide and many others all have their unique feel. Nowhere in Dublin feels like more of a village than Ranelagh though which is only a […]

You never review a restaurant on their first night and since this was a private tasting for the hippest new restaurant in Dublin (Super Miss Sue) this isn’t a review. I’m just letting you know it is open for business. See the opening night of a restaurant is about as traumatic a night as you […]

Last week we shared the top 7 places to eat chicken wings in Dublin and after a remarkable 10,000 shares on Facebook for that post alone we decided it was time to take on a much bigger subject…The best burger in Dublin. It is a subject that is close to many of our hearts and […]

The city has been through a pretty miserable 5 years since the dickhead bankers and our gutless politicians sold us out to the Germans and that has affacted every single part of our lives. We’ve started to see a definite turn in sentiment though in the last 3 months and if there is one sector […]

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 […]

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 […]

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. […]
