Hey! We are Tams & Richie, and we are touring the Irish restaurant scene, starting at A and moving to Z. If you are curious to find new restaurants and jump outside the gastronomic box, then you are in the right place.
Osteria Lucio is very literally tucked away from the rest of Dublin in a building called The Malting Tower in Grand Canal Quay. The ingredients are seasonal, local and carefully selected for flavour and quality. The wines are all from Italian smallholdings. The coffee-infused Negronis are stupidly good. No really. Have two.
Shinjuku vibes in Dublin’s city centre. Nomo Ramen is all about good food served fast, but not quite fast food.
Michael’s of Mount Merrion do not take themselves too seriously and this is seen in the quirkiness of the dishes; pigs ears, surf ‘n’ turf, deep fried brie – it’s the finest of food without any of the notions.
Leave your notions at the door and give yourself over to an experience that will not disappoint.
The team exude a cool sense of confidence, effortlessly gliding from table to table in a spot that I suspect is rarely quiet.
Our visit to Jansz is a reminder that dining out is about the entire experience – from the ambience and service to the food and its presentation.
Here’s to more adventures and discoveries in the world of food – because, at the end of the day, it’s not just about the meals we eat, but the memories we create around the table.
I am exploring the world of dining, one alphabet letter (restaurant) per month. My husband, Richie and I adore travelling the world and experiencing new cultures, and we firmly believe that one of the best ways to learn more about people is through their kitchens.
