This one is going viral though. Getting a twist on Drivetime at the moment.

@Spidey a friend of mine is back in the auld sod for the first time in years & will have a few hours to himself in Dublin tomorrow lunchtime. He’s looking for someone to have a pint & a nice lunch (could be carvery, toastie, other) but Guinness & food must be in same venue. Where do you recommend around the Grafton St area these days? I should have put this in a pub thread maybe.

[Spidey]

Are you asking me to go on a date?

I would say Nearys, food options are limited but it’s done well. Davy Byrnes perhaps too but I don’t know what the stout is like these days.

He’s looking for someone

Someone just like @Spidey

I meant to type “somewhere” not “someone” but he’s a very nice chap if anyone wants to meet up with him.

Thanks @Spidey.

There’s nothing wrong with a one-pager offering burgers, wings, steaks and pasta – plenty of places do it, and people love it. But it has to be good. It has to be confident.

Not worse than a one pager lacking in confidence

I was there between the pudding and new year. Their sharing platter is well ahead of FXB

Sheenans does a decent soup toasted sandbo and Stout not bad either. Never too rammed.

Probably too late now but Davy Byrnes always does a big thing for Bloomsday, which is this weekend I think, so you might be sharing a table with a lot of south dublin faux-intellectuals all dressed up in turn of the century garb pretending like they read Ulysses.

If @iron_mike surfaces he’ll cover this after he takes down the green and white bunting and puts up the black and amber again.

Scalini for some good Italian and a song from the easy on the eye crazy Claire.

Two nice spots almost directly across from each other called The Butcher and Petronelli… Ate there on two successive weeks and both v goodm butcher spot for good steak

We are in a village in Italy. The food would blow most anywhere in Ireland out of the water. It is spectacular. And it’s cheap. We just had the most beautiful meal in a lovely restaurant on the terrace with three glasses of wine and water. Herself and I both had house antipasti (8 dishes each lovely), my lass had a steak she said was absolutely delicious, three glasses of lovely wine and water. Came in at 80 euro the lot.
Caffe latte is a euro, a cappuccino is a euro forty. The shtick in Ireland that the price of coffee beans has pushed it up to four quid for an americano just doesn’t wash.

You’re not exploiting that poor local chap again?

I dunno
