    I had higher expectations for this restaurant since it is on the Bib Gourmand list, but was not as…read moreimpressed with the entrees as I was hoping to be. We started with the smoked cod croquette and the bread/hummus. I thought the croquettes had great flavor and was a great way to start off the meal. However, for entrees, I had the duck breast but it was cooked way too rare for my liking. The meat was hard to cut through and the hazelnut "garnish" also overpowered the dish. With all that being said, there was a very cute ambiance to the restaurant.

    The Pigeon House is a new addition to The Clontarf Scene (yes, I just said that). On the site which…read morefor years was Les Amis and following that Tibors Bistro. Home for the weekend my folks decided that we just had to go. So we headed there in a Sunday afternoon about 3:30 and were on time for their brunch sitting which goes until 4. We were able to get a table without a booking right in the bright window. The menu was wonderful. More Linner than brunch to me! I went with the aubergine, sour dough bread, pesto and goats cheese while my sister went for duck confit with grape quinoa and orange. We then swapped half over as we were so excited to taste multiple dishes. My folks both went for steak and chips which looked divine. The food was all delicious. There was a decent amount but the plates were not overloaded and afterwards I felt full but not stuffed -content! My parents went for desserts and they were excellently presented and apparently very good. The decor is cute. There's many prints with a Clontarf or Pigeon House theme. The exposed pipe work and old fashioned light bulbs work really well with the oily green paint. The windows let in loads of light which makes the place very comfortable to sit in but not too bright. The staff were lovely, very friendly and attentive. Overall, it's a lovely restaurant and I'm definitely demanding to come here each time I'm home!

    Came across this, unusually named, place while out on a walk on a rainy evening. I will admit the…read morename made me want to see the inside but I was also looking for food and the menu outside said they had chicken wings, so in I went. Why they called it The Bram Stoker I have no idea, once you stepped inside there was nothing to do with Bram to be seen. Anyway, the batman, who I would think was the owner, was very friendly and I ordered a beer. But when I asked about ordering the chicken wings he said he would get some one to come down to me. As it turns out there is a restaurant, called Indigo, down the back of the pub and they cover all the food orders for the pub. It took quite a few mins before she appeared, though she was very friendly. The 'large buffalo wings' left a lot to be desired, they were not large by any sense of the word. I went with the BBQ sauce as she informed me, when I asked, that 'Franks sauce' contained Tabasco. They were alright but they weren't going to fill me up for the night. Before the waitress had come down to me I had asked the barman if he had any newspaper I could read. He said he was sorry he didn't but offered me a tourism magazine he had at the end of the bar. (it was in pristine condition and I would say had only been open a few times) After news, tourism would be my next best read in a pub... And I always like to know what Bord Failte are spewing to the tourists, what crap is m***pages.ie? :p Anyway I digress, finished the food and tried looking for the bill, going to the bar as I couldn't see the young lady, and was informed she would be sent down.... Another few minutes later. All in all the pub and barman were very nice and welcoming, the food delivery situation - and the food itself - leave a bit to be desired. Come in here for a quite pint if you are tired walking along the Coast Rd path..... You can't miss the big sign.

    We stayed here one night before leaving Dublin. The Bram Stoker theming is kind of cheesy and only…read moreamounts to a handful of Dracula prints in a back hallway. The rooms are very basic - no luxury here, no sir. Hard mattresses, 80's furniture. The afternoon we checked in, a dog in the neighbor's yard (the rooms face a row of residential back yards) barked nonstop for two hours when we were trying to take a nap. The staff seemed baffled when we told them, and not particularly helpful. The staff is the hotel's main weakness. There was a very unfriendly woman waiting tables when we went down to the restaurant and our waiter was an absolute snot. He made it more than clear, waiting on us was a big hassle for him. The reason I give the hotel a three is they have a beautiful, inviting restaurant and a surprisingly great craft beer selection. If they can upgrade the rooms to match the restaurant and fire the rude staff, they might have something.
