The Larder

I traveled along to the restaurant with a group on the momentous Occasion, Pride 2015. I was given a menu, with a main course and the starters were very small writing, ie NOT important. hahaah. I looked at a Veggie Breakfast. I wasn't impressed with its ingredients. So I said I'd leave it. I asked the waitress, which she was very kind, if I could order TWO Starters to make it a main. ahahah. So I enquired a Soup which is a Leak and Lentil PANCHETTO, something like that. Now the waitress explained that's ham. I've personally NEVER heard of a ham let alone a meat dish in a soup, other than the simple Chicken etc., . So I had to make do with Rocket Salad AND Dip Bread. Now both were lovely, except, the Olives' I ain't sure "are there suppose to be STONES" in either olives, the red and Green????? So to sum up, Service EXCELLENT, Food CRAP.

Dip Bread

Rocket Salad

Avoca, Malahide Castle, Co. Dublin

I went out with my family to celebrate Father's Day ahead of the actual day. I was quite taken aback from the grounds. Absolutely lovely. I had been here at the Castle as a kid. However that said, we all went tot he restaurant. My folks had a Chicken Pie and Salad each and I had just plain salad. My sis had Chicken Caesar's Salad and Soup. I'll just review MY meal for the purpose of this review. I found my salad VERY strong, which is quite abnormal if you ask me. When I arrived with my folks and my sister, we were met with a busy restaurant, which is a touristy spot. However the layout of the food which I was told in advance, was so confusing. My mom asked for Vegetarian dish for me, the woman told me twice and I STILL didn't understand what she was saying. She was completely Irish no bother, I just didn't understand what she was selling. As far as I gather all I could see was just salad. Yet my sister got soup. She told me it was very well hidden. I could gather that myself, cause I couldn't see nor site of it. As my Mom couldn't finish her Salad meal, I finished. It wasn't as bad as mine, but still tasted very "weird". My mom went to explain the oils they use something like that. And for the exorbitant price of €68 for 4 ppl and the above food plus two soft drinks????

The Food Room

Most impressed with The Food Room. I was asked what I would like. The girl didn't know anything about Veganism. So I was put onto someone else. By golly, did she not know her stuff. She asked if I would like honey or no honey. As some vegans take honey. However honey is from an animal ie Bees. SO I said No thanks. I was amazed to the point I even asked if she herself was Vegan. She wasn't. I was blown. I would however have to point out the price, is quite exorbitant alrite.

Salad

Lemon Cheesecake

Raspberry Tea

Regency Hotel, Restaurant, Swords Rd., Drumcondra, Dublin

I headed with my family to the restaurant in the Regency Hotel, here in Drumcondra. Its situated in a nice area. I never knew the name of the restaurant. Although my Dad paid, We were treated to a 3 course for 18.95 per person. It ain't too bad considering. I had a LOVELY Salad. That was the best of the lot. It consisted of, pasta, couscous, coleslaw, potato salad. It was absolutely scrumptious. Then I had Penne Pasta with Tossed Vegetables. I wasn't the best of it to be honest. There was hardly any pasta. More Vegetable. Very crunchy. Then I had the last course: Dessert. Again labels was a failure here. I got two lovely desserts. And a fruit cocktail as I would call it. heheheh. The chocolate aspect of the dessert, was very strong as in Dark Chocolate. heeheh.
