The Official PROC Restaurant review thread.

I went along to Ruairi's Kitchen ( old post office on High Street) at about 2pm today to hopefully get a takeaway lunch but alas it was closed. I checked the opening hours on Google and it seems it opens four days, Tuesday to Friday. Call me old-fashioned but what's wrong with opening Monday to Friday especially when closed at weekends. A good honest 5 -day week like! In fairness, maybe the owner has some other commitments but if you're starting a,venture like this, you could be there yourself 5 days, you need to be open and available. I have heard good reports so I will call back when I'm out that way again.

His main business is making wedding cakes so he can't open the cafe full time for now.

He's charging €9.80 for a take away toasted sandwich so consider yourself lucky it was closed.

He's also serving Moly Coffee which you can get in the actual Cafe Moly on Douglas Street, around a 5 minute walk away. They do decent toasties for €6.

Okay , fair enough..that makes sense. He's a busy man, nice to have his cafe open 4 days. Good luck to him. Thanks MOE

We went to the new place on St Lukes Cross

Goodhood.

Pizza joint. only opened about a week. No Licence yet but you can byob from the office over the road and the waiter reckoned they will have the licence sorted in a couple of weeks.

The room is nice. Trendy, music was Italian house, so it reminded me of Lebowski's all those years ago.

We got 3 pizzas and chips for the table. The young lad waiting us was dispatched by his boss up to the shop to get 2L of milk for my fellas.

Pizzas were nice. Kind of on a par with what Burnt used to offer. so nice but not sensational or anything.

60 quid ex tip.

Getting a decent enough restaurant into an old derelict bookies. Priceless

Finally got to Paladar based on the advice from this thread and it didn't disappoint.

Guacamole and Cheese Bread as small plates and Chicken tacos and Prawns as sharing plates. We shared everything and it all arrived pretty close together which was cool as well. Nice flavours in every dish and very different to what you get elsewhere.

Decor was a bit mad, wife was staring at a holy statue down the back which she found a bit off putting but in general the decor and atmosphere was spot on. A big loud group of well over 10 young South Americans sitting next to us completed the atmosphere. It felt not like Ireland at all.
The large table made the service a bit chaotic but nothing too dramatic and probably added to the Hispanic overall atmosphere of the place.

To drink she had a glass of Vino Verde which she enjoyed and I had two lovely pints of Creamy Beamy at the very reasonable price of 4.80 a pint.
Instead of desert we had two cocktails. A excellent Mojito and an equally good Macario. Next time I wouldn't bother because cocktails aren't really my thing and the Beamish was cracking but if you're into cocktails you'd be happy out.

108 euros excluding tip. Very reasonable I.m.o. Thanks for the recommendations lads I'll be back.

I prefer a nice Chianti with some fa fa fa fava beans

Sparkling water.

An alcoholic beverage to accompany that would see me passed out drunk 7 days a week.
