I have only eaten in this restaurant once for lunch but going on that experience and the fact that their other restaurant (Cafe La Serre) is always lovely, I think I can safely say it will not disappoint. As it is a fine dining restaurant it is more expensive but I had a set lunch menu which was very reasonably priced.

He's worked there more than 20 years and had us thoroughly entranced with his personality and charms. Oh yes, there was food: a vegetarian boxtie and a corned beef boxtie. These were more like stews than a classic boxtie. We polished the plates off and finished with dessert. The toffee pudding was perfect; surprisingly the housemade ice cream sandwich had almost no flavor and was disappointing. The order of three Irish breads was a good appetizer and helped us understand the different styles in the country. The ambiance here is not classic Irish pub, which was good for dinner. !:)

If you want to experience a true Victorian pub in Dublin, The Stag's Head is a beautiful place to…read morestart. Tucked down Dame Court just off Dame Street, The Stag's Head is one of those rare pubs that feels genuinely historic rather than designed to look old. The building dates to the late 1800s, and the interior retains the ornate features of a classic Victorian "gin palace"--rich carved wood, stained glass, brass rails, and a warm, glowing bar that feels wonderfully preserved. We stopped in around 4:30 pm, which turned out to be a perfect time to visit. There were other patrons enjoying drinks and food, but the atmosphere was calm and relaxed rather than loud or rowdy. It felt like the kind of place where locals drop in for a quiet pint on their way home from work before the evening crowd arrives. The staff were excellent--friendly, welcoming, and attentive without being intrusive. The food was very good (we failed to take photos because we were too busy enjoying it). As a vegetarian, I was thrilled to see the Impossible burger front and center on their menu; it was deliciously prepared with guacamole on a brioche bun, and not an afterthought on the menu. My companions both chose the Irish Beef Burger, and said it was excellent. One thing to know: this is a traditional Victorian pub, so cocktails aren't really part of the program. Expect beer, wine, or spirits rather than mixed drinks. In a place like this, that actually feels exactly right. Other pubs do serve mixed drinks. Between the history, the ambience, the quality of the food, and the wonderful staff, The Stag's Head is the kind of place that makes you feel like you've experienced a real piece of Dublin.

This was a first for me. I was with a group of four who attended Carlow town's first pride parade…read more I'd never been in a Supermacs before, nor have I ever tried their food. I know from the news that the guy who started it was a school teacher and he's recently had some success against Mc D's in Europe over using the term Big Mac. Supermacs won and Mc D got a grilling. This Supermacs also has an in-store Papa John pizza place, so I had a choice. I opted for an overpriced burger and factory made chips with a Diet Coke at around 8 euro. It was somewhat better tasting than the similar equally overpriced Mc D burger meal and I felt fuller longer. This fast food was slow complying and delivered to our table. I also tried their whipped ice cream in a cone with a Cadbury chocolate flake and it was fairly good. I might buy another ice cream some day but as for the burger food goes it's no thanks.

The space was so loud that it was genuinely difficult to hear anyone at our own table, which took away from the overall meal. Food-wise, it was a mixed bag. The fish and chips were average, and three of the four portions at our table had a surprising number of bones. Accompanying the fish, the mushy peas didn't have much flavor, though the chips themselves were decent. The blackened cod tasted more like it had been marinated in a soy glaze than actually blackened, but the flavor was still good -- just not much else to the dish. The burger was massive and cooked to a standard medium (for anyone visiting from outside Ireland, that's typical). Service was the biggest miss. It took an extremely long time to get drinks, and even longer for entrées to arrive. Between the noise level, the slow pacing, and the uneven food, I don't think I'd return.

They have a bouncy castle and a lady that does face-painting so adults can sit back, eat their dinner and relax while the children burn off some steam. The food is adequate, there's carvery with all the trimmings and they're not stingy with the portions. It would be nice to have something to choose from other than the usual roast beef, turkey etc and the food looked a bit burnt from sitting in an over-heated hot-plate but once you know that's what you coming here to eat then everyone should be happy enough. The only issue I had the Sunday gone was that their website states that there is live music Saturdays and Sundays but when I asked the lady behind the bar she said there is no music anymore on Sundays. They should have removed this from the website as once we'd eaten it got quite boring for the adults.
