Any recommendations for an early bird Saturday evening in the city boys?
Mr Fox, Parnell Square.
Completely overrated and overpriced.
The Butcher Grill in Ranelagh is far superior.

Chophouse in Beggars Bush is excellent for a good steak too. Nice relaxed atmosphere as well. Completely agree about Shanahan.

Had lunch in The Chophouse today. Was very very good.
Was in Oserio Lucio or whatever its called yesterday. Very meh.
I find that manager chap in The Chophouse from Ulster quite annoying.

Bisou, Castro district, San Fran
French Onion soup (bottom) followed by an incredible Cassoulet (top), best I’ve had, including my own. Overruled the waiter who advised the combo would be on the heavy side, he was right but the downside was I ate half the cassoulet for lunch today.

that soup looks unreal
It was superb mate. An absolute mound of caramelized onions under the cheese/bread crust. The broth was unreal as well, reduced down for hours. Proper cooking that these muldoons wouldn’t be familiar with. The closest thing they would have is Knorr Instant Onion Soup.

Anyone recommend a good seafood restaurant in the Dublin/Fingal area?
I’ve been in very few of those. Chapter One, Kai, The Exchequer and the Long Hall is about it. I must be some Muldoon.
Actually the Dunraven and Sheridan’s as well.
head to Howth
Aqua, Howth.
Well ahead of the curve here
