Aniar.

One of those dreary Michelin chasing tasting menu spots.

There’s a Milanos that’s much better. And Venice a nice Italian.

Is dough bros still on the go? Decent pizza but bit studenty.

2746

It is.

Loam is another tasting menu joint.

2747

I’ll be avoiding tasting menu places. Will look at Venice @Fagan_ODowd

Is Ard Bia any good ?

2748

Il Vicolo is very good if you are looking for an italian

Daycent spot. The lad who runs it is a bit of a header but the food is proper Italian. No spag bol on the menu there.
Always a good buzzy atmosphere there too

Cava Bodega is good. At least it was a few years back. Tapas

Cava Bodega on Middle St, if tapas suits. It’s another one of JP McMahon’s, the fella that @Spidey is referencing there that has Aniar as well. Can’t imagine you’ll have much trouble getting a table on a horrible night in January

O gradys on the pier at barna is nice.
Kirwans Lane is pretty good. Better than that if Keith, the head chef, is in.
O gradys at lunch for chowder and porter is hard bet

Yeah. Just pop you’re head in the door and ask ‘is Keith on today?’ @TheUlteriorMotive. If he’s not spit on the floor and fuck off.

There was another place I got a spot in one night when I couldn’t get in anywhere else called Cookes that had grand unpretentious fare. I had a fine lamb shank.

2758

There’s a Supermacs on Eyre Square too.

2759

You could ask when you make a reservation. I usually do. You can do this over the telephone.
You’re welcome.

Any idea what the head chef was called that night?

I think you’re mistaking Kirwans Lane for some overpriced Dublin wankhole.
It is thoroughly unpretentious, has a well thought out simple menu, and good Guinness. Classic Mike o grady place really.

You’re pretty tetchy this evening @Flatty. We’ve established it’s Galway where you need to check your server’s identity. Last think I want is some unwashed crusty cunt deepfrying my scotch egg cos I go on the wrong day.

2763

Thanks all. You were all very helpful. Beyond my expectations actually.

I like Italians for a group so I have booked Il Vicolo.

I’ll try and get to O’gradys for chowder and porter too.

I’ll post on the bars thread in due course for recommendations for afternoon drinking and for evening drinking. We’ll be in a male only group in the afternoon and a mixed group in the evening.
