Cornucopia, Wicklow St, Dublin

Cornucopia, Wicklow St., Dublin, Ireland

Twas an quite a visit today. I have been to Cornucopia several times, today I decided to do a review as I've never done so. hahaah.

Today I had Soup, Salad and Dessert. The Soup and Dessert I wholeheartedly enjoyed. the Salad not so much. Now as regards the staff, they were very accommodating. I've never had an issue with Staff or their foods hence why I keep going back to em. hahaha. The only thing I would say is to offer MORE vegan alternatives ie HOT foods. I wanted the Baked cheese thing, However as it wasn't Vegan, I had to make do with Salad, with as you can gather, did not enjoy.

The Soup was a mushroom creamy consistency. Green in color as per the pic. It was absolutly heaven. Totally enjoyed it.

My next was the Salad, I was hoping for a hot dish, however it wasn't to be, as the stuff I wanted was Cow cheese instead my baby Violife Cheese which is Vegan. So I stuck with the Salad, of which I didn't enjoy it one bit. Oh their was taste no doubt, but I just didn't care for it.

So I moved onto the Dessert, as I said to my colleague, I like to "end on a sweet note" as per what my mother would say. hahha. I had a lovely Tart of which was a lovely soft consistency texture, and a crumbly base. It was all heaven. hehehe.

Umi Falafel, Dame St., Dublin

Well I travelled along with my Vegetarian meetup group. We had been here in the past. I enjoyed my time. Food was exquisite. heheehe. The waiter knew his stuff and his dishes dietary. I was most impressed. He knew what was vegan and wasn't. Although the majority of the dishes on offer is Vegan, some are vegetarian. So I just wanted to make sure. Considering the place was bouncing, he was speculator. Ever since Delhi O' Delhi(Review here), closed down(RIP), I have been naming Umi Falafel as my FAV vegan/vegetarian restaurant. Umi is Arabic for "Mother".

Following is what I had

• The Lebanese Falafel
• Batata Hara/Wedges
• Lentil Soup
• Basbousa

The Lentil Soup, mmmmmmmm was heaven. Totally enjoyed it. Creamey(VEGAN) creamey soup.
I had asked the waiter what was the soup of the day and he reploied Brocoli Soup of which was I wasn't the best of. SO I chose a nicer soup of which I was glad. hahahah

I asked for a side order of Wedges or in Arabic BAtata Hara. They were a bit dry, spicyness was "Just Right". Not too hot, and not too bland(opposite of spicy), it was JUST RIGHT.

The Lebanese Falafel was filled in a wrap style or as they call it a Falafel. Filled with styuffiny type, Tomato, Cucumber, pickles, parsely and tahini sauce. It was scrumptious. IT would be suitable as a lunch. It was heaven. mmmmm.

I asked for a dessert menu. I quickly looked and chose Basbousa.

Green Land Cafe, Fairview

Food was wonderful. I have been to Green Land Cafe in the past, both with my sis and my mother. Today, my Pops joined us for the first time. Parking was a breeze. Situated close by where I live. We ordered our food. The service was a disgrace. I totally enjoyed my food, no question, am sure my clan the rest of them, can agree. But, never have I had such a service disgrace. Firstly, We received our starters ie the Soup which was initially supposedly be Vegetable Soup, however we since were told it was Tomato and Basil Soup. I didn't mind either. Then when the soup was given to us, the waitress never put knives and forks or even a spoon. Were we expected to eat like monkeys or what?, When we requested the knife, the waitress started to get a bit nervous, I could tell. Which don't get me wrong, I felt for her, but like come on for a PROMINENCE place? with prices quite high??? So my mother said, we'll hand out the knives and forks. Then came the main course, Both my parents received the dish. And then my sister. So when it came to my order, I ordered a VEGETABLE Ciabbata which is a vegetarian dish. I received a different order with MEAT. I was totally disgusted. My mom and my sister stopped me from eating it. I thought the white pudding was actually Hash brown. I was totally disgusted. So bottomline.

Food exquisite, Service CRAP.
