I had two cocktails here while the others had beer I went for Doc's Gigglewater and French Martini… Yes I know I don't seem to be able to try anything new anytime I've come here but they're consistently good so why not??
From there we walked along the quays to Smithfield and headed to Fish Shop on Queen Street (http://fish-shop.ie/) They only have a few seats so we were unable to book and they were full when we got there. There was five of us. They took my name and said that it would be around 40 minutes for a table. Went across the road to Dice Bar (http://www.thatsitdublin.com) for a pint or two (Which they suggest on their website - great idea!!) They've a really good selection of beers here. I went for a Dry Macivors Cider. Pretty busy for a Wednesday evening.
After about 50 minutes the lads were getting a bit restless and worried we wouldn't have time to eat before going to see Dara O'Briain at Vicar Street. Dare I say they might've been getting hangry?! Anyhow they suggested we walk to Leo Burdock's instead so I went in to cancel the table and was told they were just about to ring to say a table would be ready in 5 minutes as people were just paying their bills!!! I called them back and we waited for the table to clear and be cleaned down.
The menu...
The place looks amazing with the exposed brick walls and the lighting...
They guessed we were in a rush so took our order while we waited for the table to be cleared.
I ordered the Fillet o'Fish Shop (Hake Fillet on a toasted brioche bun with fennel, apple, garlic mayo and mint) and a white wine. Three of the others ordered the haddock.
The fish was melt in the mouth and the brioche bun was perfect. We also got chips, bread and tartare sauce for the table.
There was a couple of chip butties had by the others lol.The staff are really nice and welcoming. The smell as you're waiting (Which isn't even that long) is AMAZING!!!It is small. Maybe they seat about 15 (at a push?) but the food is so so good and it is seriously well worth the wait for a table.
Strolled across the river then to Vicar Street for the Dara O'Briain gig. He's utterly brilliant. My cheeks (and sides) are still a little sore this morning from laughing. Will never be able to look at 50/50 bread in the same way again. One more thing… Pulled pork cheesecake anyone?
