I went to Petit Paris yesterday with my girlfriend. We both pass by it often enough but have yet to…read moretry it even though it's been there for quite some time now. As we walked in, there came a beautiful aroma of food and coffee, I already felt like this place was going to be nice. It is quite petit in there however they have used the space really well and there's a welcoming vibe in there. We only came for a coffee and perhaps a scone/crossiant but after looking at the menu I was intrigued to taste some of the food. I was pleased to see quite a few vegetarian options on the menu like the veggie breakfast and vegetarian lasagne along with some veggie sandwiches and much more. It was just unfortunate that I had already eaten, so I wasn't too hungry. I figured next time, so I just got myself a coffee and a waffle with caramel syrup and cream (very French). The waffle was really nice and there was a nice richness to my coffee. There was a cool atmosphere and staff in Petit Paris, I will update my review after I have eaten there, I look fair ward to it.

I highly recommend the atmosphere, the lovely people who welcome you, the food and the wine.

I really thought I was going to love this place. Everything from the dining room to the menu said…read morethis was going to be something special but we were left feeling underwhelmed and wondering what had not lived up to the initial expectations. I can best sum up my disappointment as everything is there, the menu, the ingredients but it's let down by the execution. The dishes we had all seemed to be off in some way that made it feel like we were close but not quite there. And others may disagree but the food was far to heavily salted throughout, everything from the soda bread onwards was overly salty. The service was plesent but not up to par at times. Very long delays eventhough there was plenty staff on and we struggled a number of times ordering and more then once didn't get what we asked for. We gave up trying in the end. I would recommend you come and try this place. If it loves you to the expectations it sets you will be in for a treat. Time will tell, let us know how you get on.

Dinner at a castle?…read more I mean. Yes, please. On a recent trip to Ireland we booked a night at Dromoland Castle. They have a special 'experience Dromoland' deal where for one price you can enjoy a night's accommodations, dinner at The Earl of Thomond Restaurant, and a full Irish breakfast the following morning. So, we booked that deal in order to enjoy the full castle experience. Dinner at The Earl of Thomond Restaurant was most certainly a highlight. The dining room is what you might expect from a castle dining room--white table cloths, ornate wallpaper, chandeliers, and candles. The service throughout our experience was impeccable. We began with cocktails. They have an extensive wine list, but if we can--we opt for cocktails. One of our servers mentioned that they have a wonderful mixologist and if we have any cocktail questions to please ask. I conveyed that I prefer spirit forward whiskey cocktails and he pointed me in exactly the right direction. The resulting cocktail was lovely. They brought us a bread basket where we were able to choose which bread we'd like with our dinner. I opted for the brown bread (seriously solid choice, nutty and hearty) and the focaccia (decadent). They then brought us an amuse bouche that was the perfect bite of culinary artistry to begin our experience. For my main, I got their seared scallops. They had the perfect sear and were drizzled with a buttery sauce and topped with microgreens--divine. For dessert, I got their white chocolate mousse which was the perfect sweet treat to end an otherwise wonderful dining experience. It's the perfect special occasion experience. Get to it!

The restaurant is lovely with excellent service and great food, and we enjoyed a talented harpist play during our meal. Firstly, the atmosphere is very romantic with the live music, beautiful castle entrance and decor, and intimate dining room. Our server was spectacular and helpful with ordering gluten-free for me. We loved the cocktail list and how gorgeous the drinks were presented. The cocktail list is named after tarot cards, which was really fun. Appetizers are great and presented with the finest details. The scallops were a favorite. For dinner, my sirloin was perfectly cooked, and the guinea fowl were highlights. We had dessert drinks and toasted champagne to our friends who got engaged that night, and we really appreciated the staff helping to make the surprise perfect for the sweet future bride. Overall, it was a magical night with excellent food, top-notch service, and a fairytale setting.

I had seen their menu online and was intrigued by the spicy Irish meatballs. We were seated at a nice cozy table for two and handed the menu and as a surprise the early bird menu. We had just completed a Ring of Kerry tour and we were starving and I guess that made us early to dinner. I'll take that special pricing. Thanks. I ordered two courses which started with grilled mushrooms with melted cheese which I shared with my husband. I also started with a half bottle of French wine because French wine is amazing! I shared my mushrooms with my husband. He got entree and dessert for his two choices and I had every intention of eating some of that dessert. The spicy meatball entree came with colcannon and vegetables. Everything was delicious including my husband's cheesecake. The service was excellent! The restaurant was cozy and romantic.

The crispy crust on the flaky sea bass was perfect and the grilled veggies melted in your mouth. The crème fraîche was supposed to go on the fish but had better use on the mashed potatoes. Yum!!! I've never tasted red cabbage done like that but boy was it hot and delish! The service was good and the owner is a very pleasant, wonderfully warm woman. I will try to return before I leave this wonderful isle!
