    We nipped into the newly opened Worscht in George’s St Arcade recently after a day of helping to renovate my sister’s new city centre office. We were starving and felt we deserved something totally lecker (that’s ‘delicious’ auf Deutsch) and what could be better than a big ol’ sausie. I LOVE sausages so I was…

    After hearing lots of talk about a relatively new restaurant in Dublin we thought it was high time to check it out. I also thought it might be review-worthy! It was, but I’m not going to review it, instead I am going to take this opportunity to have a little rant about Dublin restaurants and…

    With two very hungover heads on us, Jim and I made our way into town recently to check out Bunsen, the new burger joint on Wexford St that everyone’s been raving about on social media since early June. Bunsen’s menu is very small, so small, in fact, that it fits on a business card-sized menu.…

    My friend, Jemma, got in touch to ask: Does anyone have any recommendations for a good quality Chinese restaurant that deliver to the Portobello area? I suggested Zen in Rathmines but whispers on the web suggest it has disimproved of late. Unfortunately, it’s been a while since I’ve had a takeaway so I’m not up…

    Friday night. Milano very kindly brought us in to their Haddington Road branch recently to try out their Pizza Making class. I headed along with my sister Rachel.  For €19.95 per person you get a choice of any small wine/beer or soft drink, an “Intro”, which includes the always delicious Marcona almonds and gorgeous Sicilian…

    I’ve found my favourite way to spend a Sunday. It involves eggs and sweet disco tunes! The Gentleman’s Academy Disco Brunch spent 2012 establishing a name as one of the most unusual and fun events in our fair city. I’ve been to a couple at this point, once last year, where I remained sober, just…

    It was the morning of the dreaded SNOW. We were due at Lombard Street to register our intent to marry at 12pm. Once I got up and looked out the window, I freaked out – remembering how awful 2010 was – what if we missed our appointment and then we couldn’t get married and all…

    Over Christmas, I was in town finishing my shopping and I was feeling stressed, grumpy and hungry. The mania of the festive season tends to do that to you. Every restaurant and cafe I passed was rammed full of cheery diners, but all I wanted was somewhere quiet where I could escape the madness –…

  • Review: Fade St. Social

    Word is Fade Street Social is the hippest joint in town so it demanded my attention on a recent Sunday evening before Christmas. We thought, heading in, that it would be quiet enough given it was Sunday and presumed everyone would be at home recovering from their 12 pubs and washing their novelty Christmas jumpers.…

    Some of you may have seen Sarajit Chanda and his wife Sarah on Dragons’ Den earlier this year, a charming couple pitching, and winning investment for, their budding business, Aruna sauces. I’ve been wanting to try their sauces for a while, especially since I’m a spectacularly lazy curry cook and usually use one of the…
