A weekend of indulgence

In my Dublin blog post I mentioned how impressed we were with the food in Ireland, so as promised, here's a entire blog post dedicated to all the yummy meals we had:

Chicken liver pate with apricots and toasted bread

Liver and bacon with potatoes and spring onions

Pollock with parsley and anchovy potatoes

Creamy chilli chicken with potatoes

Beef and Guinness pie

 

Coffee liquor

 Seafood chowder

 Hot chicken wings

Irish gammon and mash, with root veg and cabbage

Lamb shank with root veg and mash

Seafood chowder and Mackerel pate with Guinness bread

 Warm pear salad with walnuts and blue cheese dressing

Boxty potato pancakes with steak and garlic sauce

 Chocolate cake with ice cream and toffee sauce

Fishcakes, salad and tartare sauce, with an obligatory pint of Guinness

As you can see, we had some amazing meals during our time in Dublin. No matter where we went, the portions were huge, but despite this, the food always came beautifully presented. My top recommendations would have to be Winding stair (top photo), The Church (chicken and Guinness pie), and of course Merchant's arch (photos 4 & 5), where we enjoyed a lovely evening of good food and live music!
