judging a book by it’s cover Fagan.
Pps. The lunch menu is a set menu but it has imo the best of the evening stuff and is good value for what it is. It’s not so formal at lunchtime. I’d never eat there in the evening if I was paying myself, and, tbh, I’d try and dissuade any host from paying there either. It is appallingly highly priced, often overcrowded and last time I ate there in the evening they had overbooked it to the extent that we waited as a tabke of ten, an hour and a half for starters ( which were the same as those on the lunch menu in any case)
Lunch is fantastic. It’s a light airy room. The cheese trolley is remarkable. I always give the wine waiter a rough guide price for wine and ask him to pick what he recommends. I don’t spend too much on the wine relatively either. Any good restaurant should not serve any bad wine. The Michelin tasters apparently always have a glass of house white and one of house red.
I have had some of my favourite ever meals there at lunch, one of the worst ever at dinner, and at lunch have always left feeling it was decent value for money.
Ps I don’t recall ever eating there on a hot day and I’m not sure how warm it would be.
The Guinness in the downstairs bar is decent and it’s a nice quiet place.

Thinly veiled I’m fucking loaded post by Flatty there. If you got it flaunt it kid! 
Mentioned that in the ravenous thread the other day, beef dripping chips cannot be beat.
Thanks for the advice @flattythehurdler, it would be dinner certainly for this upcoming celebration but I will look into lunch in that place if we can pawn the kids off some other time.

And they will be screaming for tomato sauce.
Do you like your cheese you do? It’s very bad for you.
Not at all. The set lunch menu is about forty euros for three courses. It’s good value for a special occasion.
Edit, it’s gone up to 45 for two courses or 55 for three, but you could be in there three hours handy if you have s bit to drink. I meet my out fella there on a Saturday lunchtime sometimes. I’ve absolutely torn the arse out of it once, with wine, and bubbles and brandy and it came to 100 euro a head for about three and a half hours of a really nice meal.
Now most days I’d be happier eating a home made sandwich or a subway or something, but on occasion it’s nice, and reasonable at that.
Dinner, well it’s price sickens me for what it is, and I’d never choose to have dinner there no matter how rich I was, but each to their own.

No you should bring the kids to lunch in Guilbauds. They do high chairs and a kids menu with with chicken nuggets and mini pizzas. Give them a ring and ask them about it.

I still can’t get away from that pic of those poundland easy singles you threw up for your lunch when I read that

He likes his cheese
He slipped one to the waiter and asked him to melt it on to the steak before serving it

Needs must when the devil drives.
My lovely lunch sitting at home on the counter.
In any case, my favourite restaurant is the local pizza place. Seventy lids for the four of us including drinks. A decent feed is a decent feed. There’s lads on here seem to spend their life in places eating steak at forty euros a throw.
My dress sense is appalling. My wife says I look like the village hobo.

What’s an African restuarant like?
They drop a bag of rice from the ceiling and everyone kills each other trying to get some?

Sounds like The Lobster Pot or The Chicken Hut (without the rice).
