Why would there be Limerick flags and bunting at this time of year?[/quote]
Because they played a final in the city last Saturday. They had flags up on the bridges for some other events as well.
I went to Chocolate for the lunch. A fine spot. Busy as well at 3pm. I suppose it hoovered up a lot of the Luigi’s customers when it closed down.

Sorry…Luigi’s isn’t closed is it?

TwoRunnyEggs · April 10, 2012, 9:14pm

Sorry, my mistake, Malones I believe it was called. Luigi’s is still going strong.

Limerick bringing out flags and bunting for some league match against Clare? You’re having a laugh, the flags don’t come out till we get to Munster and All-Ireland finals…

Marco Polo. I believe it was shit when it started but I’ve heard it may have improved since.

Mrs. Rtt ,Mrs MAD and Mrs. SureI were there on saturday night and said it was worse than mediocre.

:lol:

I’ve heard the words bland and uninteresting used to describe it alright. Big portions but that’s about it.

TwoRunnyEggs · April 10, 2012, 9:54pm

I looked at its lunch menu, it had around 6 choices, all looked boring so I crossed the road. Same prices though.

The_Runt · April 10, 2012, 10:13pm

How was chocolate? Never had a bad meal there and very reasonably priced.

hannibal · April 10, 2012, 10:15pm

Anyone eat in Azur? Supposed to be going next week.

SHANNONSIDER · April 10, 2012, 10:17pm

Where do men about town like Runt, MAD, RTT etc take their ladies for dinner when out and about in Limerick?

anon61956325 · April 10, 2012, 10:19pm

Yeah, It’s very nice, went a few months back, food was delicious A small bit pricey but not massively expensive

manaboutdog · April 10, 2012, 10:28pm

Very hard to top Freddys Bistro IMO, even after all these years it’s still the standard bearer in the city.

Rintintin · April 10, 2012, 10:29pm

As Runt mentioned, Chocolat is nice and reasonable. The cornstore. Hamptons. Copper and spice. I like La Piccola a small basement family run Italian.

Yea top top quality. You will pay for it though. I know this is no reason for concern to man man with SS’s means.

Very good for fish and beef.

SHANNONSIDER · April 10, 2012, 10:34pm

Ah yes, I haven’t dined in Freddy’s in many’s a year. I did entertain guests in the Cornstore last year though and was pleased with both the service and the fare on offer.

The_Runt · April 10, 2012, 10:36pm

Ate there a while back and it was very nice. Not out of this world, but still very nice. 4 out of 5 or 8 out of 10.

I got a voucher for Freddie’s Bistro recently so must pay a visit when I get a free weekend. Haven’t been in a couple of years.

hannibal · April 10, 2012, 10:39pm

Haven’t eaten in Freddies in years. Always very good though when I did dine there.
