I have had the good fortune to visit this restaurant on several occasions and I can honestly say…read morethere is no need to travel to the big cities for a world class dining experience when you can get it right near the centre of Louth. This is one of the finest dining experiences that you will ever have. The restaurant is part of the Priory Hotel and is open to non residents on a friday and saturday evening. On the website it does say to book otherwise you might be disappointed. From experience I would suggest booking well in advance because the demand far outstrips the supply. The setting is wonderful, perfect for a romantic meal, the menu has a wide selection of gastronomic delights - my mouth is watering just remembering my last visit - the food is delicious, superbly prepared using mainly local fresh produce by Paul. The selection of drinks is also extremely good and considering the setting quality etc, the prices are low. I've paid much more for supposedly high quality cuisine in London, Manchester etc and not had anything that matched the food served here. Paul and Shelley; the hosts, are fantastic so friendly and helpful. I don't think that there is another restaurant that I could recommend more than this. I will reiterate - BOOK EARLY.

It is spacious and well laid out, it's clean and the facilities are good. Service is quick and the staff are usually very friendly. The only thing that lets down the chip shop; and the reason why it's four stars not five, are the prices. The food is extremely good quality, the selection is excellent, the service is good. In fact everything is excellent apart from the prices, which even though you expect to pay a little more for higher standards this is still a chip shop and the prices are too high for the standards to warrant. I used to go to the chip shop regularly but tend to use Parkinsons or even moby dicks now.

Justified: British chips are healthy. Well. That might be a slight bold-faced lie. But it's not…read moreentirely without a grain of truth. Whilst in England this August, and surrounded by chips, chips and gravy, chips and mushy peas, fish and chips, and sausage and chips, I stumbled upon a few internet articles that broke down the calorie count in typical English fare. (See, a few internet articles! Corroboration! It must be true.) Amongst the standard take-away choices, fish and chips was the healthy choice. But the standard take-away consisted of Indian curry, donner kebab, Chinese, pizza, and fish and chips. In other words, fish and chips were the least likely to cause a heart attack, although all were more certain to cause a heart attack than a home cooked meal. And a home cooked meal does NOT include popping several frozen dinners into the oven/microwave. Just like home made custard does not mean adding Byrd's powder to real milk. Back to my justified article. Vis-a-vis American fries, the British chip had less fat because the chip is bigger. Thus, less surface area-to-volume of potato. Ok. That's really the only scientific part. And even that's not really science. Or a justification. But what was I going to do? I was in a small, country town, full of sensible people that liked local produce, surrounded by fields and cows, and 4 fish and chips shops. And every restaurant served some version of fish and chips. I couldn't get away from chips. When I closed my eyes, puppet chips would sing and dance. In the shower, I found myself humming a chip-eating song. The wrought iron bars of St. James church looked like chips. I ate here at least twice. Twice that my BF knows about. It may have been more frequent than that but at this time, I can neither confirm nor deny those reports. The fish was big. Length of my arm big. Haddock. Delicious. Fried fish is amazing. One big downside is that the fried fish is COMPLETELY UNSEASONED! You have to douse it with salt like a vicar exorcizing demons with holy water. And in order to get the salt to stick, you have to spray the filet with vinegar like a tom cat marking new territory. And in order for the vinegar to penetrate the beautiful, breaded, fried exterior, you MUST repeatedly stab the crunchy coating with a fork. The fish and chips come in a sturdy cardboard box with a layer of chips underneath the massive haddock. After I performed the salting ritual as stated above, I had a lovely pile of salt in all 4 corners, and NONE ON MY CHIPS or fish. I was forced to break off a piece of fish, dip it in salt, and let it all come together as I chewed. I was laughed at when I put pepper on my fish.

Perhaps this is a dark sign of the way things work in Jolly Old? So many reviews, so little time. I came here for dinner with Papa and the BF. This place had chips on the menu. Every eating establishment had chips on the menu. I was pretty fraking chip'd out by the time I left. Oh, that's a big fat lie. There were the basics: pasta, pasta and pasta. And then some pizza. And of course, chips with other breaded fried protein. I ordered the House special pasta with shrimp, spinach and diced tomatoes. Papa and BF ordered the same thing. *cough* brown-nose *cough* Spaghetti bolognase. The noodles were overcooked and the sauce was not very flavorful for something with spinach and tomatoes. The spinach looked frozen and defrosted. The shrimp was big but also not very flavorful. I was unimpressed. I should have gone with the pizza and chips that everyone else was ordering. The Robs finished their pasta. Literally licked the plate. Maybe I'm missing something. Like taste buds that only eat dull food. I want flavor explosion in my mouth! I want dancing, fireworks, brightness, IN MY MOUTH.

I think this is because it does what it does, so well - gorgeous pizza, pasta and other traditional Italian food, in a trattoria-style setting. The prices aren't bad for the quality of food available and it's always prepared quickly. Via Italia also has a fab atmosphere - check out the music they play if it's your birthday! - and the staff are really friendly and seem to enjoy their work, going out of their way to make special occasions more enjoyable.

This is Istanbuls restaurant for the benefit of the other reviewer. I've been here a few times and…read moreI find it's pretty authentic although it's not the best turkish restaurant I've been to. The food is gorgeous and although (as suggested by others) the menu is pretty limited it has the main selections I would expect to see. Getting the mixed starter is very good if you're hungry because it is very filling and usually comes pretty quick so that you at least have something to pick at while you wait for your main course - and you do tend to have a wait. This isn't because the service is slack but because unless you get there early it gets very busy! The prices are very cheap for a restaurant and when they have the turkish red wine on the menu it is an unbelievably good value wine to have with your meal. If you like something exotic and authentic then it's worth paying a visit.

The food is delicious (be warned - if you order their yummy bread and dips for a starter, you won't have room for much of a main course!) and the staff are really lovely. It's a limited menu, especially for vegetarians, but there are all the classics such as hummus, tzatziki, shish kebabs etc. My husband always grumbles about the fact that his kebab comes with rice AND chips - he thinks no chips would be more authentic! - but this is a minor annoyance! I've found the tables to be a bit sticky at times and think tablecloths would improve things, but it's hardly expensive and the food's so good, a bit of stickiness can be overlooked. The place is always full, so it must be doing something right. And they have a good selection of wine.

It was a cold early Wednesday evening so it wasn't busy, although it was doing some take away business and I hear this place can get packed out especially at the weekends. The service is welcoming and attentive to your every need and the decor is modern. Having been shown to my seat and received a menu, I was keen to see what unusual dishes there were on the menu. I was grateful to see a number of unique dishes. This was most definitely a Fusion as the restaurant name suggests with a variety of Indian, Pakistani and Middle Eastern options available. I was keen for a lamb dish and opted for the Hasina Khari with a Pilau Rice - "Minted lamb cooked with lemon juice & special spice mixture in part a unique flavour to the dish". My portion was flavoursome and plentiful and washed down with a pint of Tiger Beer left me feeling warmed and satisfied before exiting back into the freezing cold weather outside. This is a popular option in Louth and gets favourable reviews all over the web. Consider this is another positive review to that list! Recommended.
