I have some friends coming up at the weekend and as we'll be in town, we want to go for lunch. Any recommendations for somewhere good and reasonable. No just pub grub but somewhere nice. An average priced lunch menu too..
thanks Mf1. Been to green nineteen and its great. Havent been to neon yet (that's the vietnamese place right?). Also been to locks. They're ever so slightly out of the way though. I guess somewhere around the grafton street region would be perfect.
My better half speaks highly of The Larder in Parliment St. They do a lunch special but I don't know if this applies on Saturdays. Check out their website.
There is a new restaurant opening in Dawson street. The Chef, Mickael Viljanen, won chef of the year last year at Gregan's castle. I ate there once for a special occasion. The food was like art on a plate and tasted fabulous.
It's called the greenhouse. It's on Dawson Street. Looking forward to having lunch/dinner there. It's to open next week.
Thanks Marion, I love going to new places and seeing whats on offer. I would rather only eat out every 6months and enjoy it than every fortnight on something trashy.
If you get there before the rest of us, will you report back?
And yes, I will give a report from the Green Hen..
So I finally got to the Green Hen. It was quite busy on Saturday but the service was still excellent and the food was excellent. I had the roast poussin and my friend had the clam and mussel linguine and they were both perfect. We didnt have deserts as it was too much food at lunchtime but I would highly recommend it. Will definitely be returning for evening dinner there.
