Hearty Cooking in the Rebel County – Greenes Restaurant Review

It takes a little expedition mentality to find Greenes Restaurant. Yes, it is on the bustling McCurtain Street, which has seen a renaissance over recent years into the Victorian Quarter where theatre, good food and lively watering holes jostle cheek by jowl for the switched on Corkonian diner.  Its actual location is down a cobblestone …

Courthouse Restaurant

A Magical Lunch at Monaghan’s Michelin Bib – The Courthouse Restaurant Review

Monaghan is one of Ireland’s hidden gems. I don’t usually like using that term as people tend to overuse it and call everything a hidden gem. But the county, which may not always be on a visitor’s bucket list, is definitely one which should not be overlooked. This is especially true when looking at some …

I am always on the hunt for new restaurants to try out. Often the collective focus of reviewers is on the big city openings, but there are also many other great places to try scattered all around the country which deserve to be equally celebrated for the quality of the cooking and the food they …

Hotel restaurants face a number of unique challenges. Firstly, they have to provide food that will appeal to a diverse range of customers, which can include hotel guests but also those who are visiting only to eat in the restaurant.

Good Things TheTaste

From the End of the Road to the Top of the Town – Good Things Review

For many, myself included, Skibbereen is a West Cork hub. The ideal Saturday begins with a visit to the ever-growing farmers’ market for a coffee and to gather local ingredients for a picnic, before heading out of town to hike, kayak or swim. For those inevitable wet days, when a cosy corner is preferable to …

The Green Barn Restaurant

A Big Serving of Comfort with a Dollop of Rustic Charm – The Green Barn Restaurant Review

I love the hustle and bustle of the city coming up to Christmas but if I’m being honest I tend to avoid dining out during December. There are a number of reasons for this – firstly a lot of restaurants have festive themed menus geared towards groups and whilst this is understandable and I’m all …

Discovering a Hidden Gem in Cavan – St. Kyran’s Restaurant Review

I was reminded of the saying ‘don’t judge a book by its cover’ when I visited St. Kyran’s Restaurant in Virginia, County Cavan recently. From the outside the property looks unremarkable – a humble, bungalow-style building with a distinctly residential feel. I was convinced that I must have taken a wrong-turn along the way but …
