One Of My Favourite Places To Eat Out!!!!…read more The Food Is Extremely Tasty and The Staff Service Is Amazing Highly Recommend D'Vine

Drogheda doesn't seem like it's exactly buzzing with interesting places to eat, and it was by pure…read moreluck that we came across d'Vine on a sunny Sunday afternoon. The two connecting dining rooms are amazing and cozy, with a big bar counter at the back, wine racks and a huge assortment of whimsical objects or artwork around the place. Upstairs there's a terrace where you can fully enjoy their tapas menu and maybe even go for a cocktail. There's a set dishes menu, a smaller tapas menu and also the specials of the day, written on a big blackboard - that our hostess kindly perched on a chair in front of our table, improptu style. In both fixed menus there are many vegetarian and/or gluten free options. The wine list was interesting enough, though not perfect. I managed to find a beautiful spanish Verdejo there, so that must count for something. We were served delicious food and the only thing I can point is that my vegetarian stuffed zucchini had a bit too much cheese, but other than that everything was good and their special of the day, salmon, was cooked perfectly. Unfortunately we were both too full to try the desserts, but at least we got to to wrap our lunch up with a nice espresso.

I booked a late reservation here at the Muddler's Club. I came solo and got dropped off by a taxi…read more I got a little lost while trying to find the restaurant. It's pretty hidden in the alley and not going to lie...coming to a new city, let alone a new country by myself was a bit intimidating, but I found it just in time for my reservation. I absolutely loved my first Michelin Star restaurant experience. I was born in Belfast, and have never been back since I was born, so I enjoyed every opportunity to tell a server. The staff was so friendly and described every dish. I ordered the Seasonal Tasting MenuEach dish was excellent. My favorite was probably the duck and the savory mousse pastries. Food in order of serving: 1. Sourdough Guinness bread with vanilla butter and olive oil 2. Olive sponge crab and apple, chicken and caramel with some type of mousse 3. Scallops, cucumber frothy brown butter 4. Bluefin tuna tartare with avocado and heirloom tomato 5. Halibut with crispy chicken skin 6. Duck 7. Sorbet and then....my phone died before I could write down the other yummy dishes I ate! The ambience was dark, romantic, and vibey. A little mysterious because of the hidden aspect, but overall I loved my whole experience here.

My weekday dinner at Muddler's Club seemed a bit directionless…read more The food is excellent, taste, flavor combinations and présentation. That is not the concern. The space itself has a very long and interesting history, just over 40 seats have been cramped into that space. A couple tables have small glass walls to separate them and squeeze in more diners. And it's pretty loud. So loud, I can barely hear the sommelier describe her wines. There may have been music playing... but who can hear? There seems to be an attempt to elevate the bartender over the sommelier, with the menu encouraging the guests to try specialty cocktails instead of selecting whole bottles of wine. And the bartender's constant ice shaker only adds to the noise. The service is very relaxed, with servers in t-shirts and jeans, sneakers, paper napkins. And the servers seemed a bit inattentive, watching the chefs through the pass, not paying attention to guests' needs. Oh, and the server even wrote "thank you" on the printed bill... How kind. Excellent Flair. Pure Chotchkie's. For the food, I'll return. 2025 04 16. M1. 235.

This is the wine bar offering from the folk behind Michelin starred restaurant Ox (which is also…read morenext door!) I absolutely loved it here and can't wait until my next visit. For any wine lovers out there, the sparkling red is an absolute must try. We also asked the waitress to bring us out a selection of cheeses as we weren't too sure what to get. She brought us out three different types to compliment our choice of wine, and they were fantastic. The staff are very knowledgeable, so if you aren't too sure what to order, just ask. Organising my next visit already!

Recently visited here after dining at Ox (the Ox staff were more than forward when recommending you…read morevisit Cave afterwards). Very dark, but quite a cosy little place. Excellent choice of cheese and wines (I highly recommend the Aged Comté with Truffled Honey). Prices are slightly high, but if you're planning a night out dining at Ox, it's a nice convenient place to go afterwards to relax.

'An American in Belfast.'…read more Bert's Jazz Bar was a gem of a bar in Belfast. A thorough review of my Yelp would show a strong love of jazz and New Orleans, and somehow we stumbled on this gilded age bar in the heart of Belfast. Rich red velvet and a strong nod to New Orleans and the jazz age was backed up by a strong cocktail program with nods to New Orleans, NYC, London and Paris. Oh to find a Time Machine and try each class cocktail during the jazz age in each city. My favorite cocktail of all time is the New Orleans classic - Ramos Gin Fizz. Labeled on the menu as a 'one and only', this somewhat finicky and difficult cocktail came out nearly perfect and better than many I've sampled in NOLA. Would love to return for live music and food!

We had the scallop appetizer which was actually really good and next time I would probably get one each rather than sharing it. I had the steak which was cooked well. My partner had the soufflé that had a surprisingly layered and nuanced flavor. We each had a delicious mocktail and there were so many mocktail options which refreshing. And then she had a pistachio cake for dessert and I had crème brûlée because it's my favorite. They were able to sear us at a table that made accessing our table very easy, however to get into the restaurant, we had to go through the hotel not the main entrance and kind of a circuitous route to a side door. Although it was well marked. The bathroom was fine and accessible, although the hallway to the bathroom was a bit tight when the doors opened, and it was on the route out through the hotel.
