The Farm

Ciaran ate breakfast in The Farm awhile back and said it was the best breakfast ever. This a restaurant that prides itself on the quality of its food and is fully organic. We went this morning and I can honestly say it was the best poached eggs and sausage I have ever tasted. It was cooked unbelievably well and service was great too. This is another place that we will now have to try for dinner!

Screen Cinema Dublin

We went to see The Paperboy today in the Screen Cinema in Dublin City. It is a little old fashioned movie theatre with 3 screens. I saw that they sell wine!!! I was surprised to see this. I've never seen wine for sale in a cinema except in the very cool "Tropic" movie theatre in Key West, Florida (the Tropic is a restored at art deco style cinema theatre). The Paperboy stars Zac Efron & Nicole Kidman and is very graphic and extremely explicit. It is beautifully shot with lots of back stories that are not evident and some are very shocking. It is somewhat a film about the coming of age of Zac Efron's character. This film was classified as for over 16yr old's here in Ireland. I think I could easily make a case for it being over 18s.

Happy St. Patrick's Day

Happy St. Patrick's Day to all of my readers!

Eatery 120

I think eating breakfast out is one of the small pleasures in life. After a late night last night (at a wedding) we decided to treat ourselves to a nice brekkie. After considering all of our options, we decided upon Eatery 120. They do a Sunday Brunch, starting at 11am on Sunday's. We arrived just after 11 and we got a great window seat.Ciaran went for the full Irish as per usual while I had pancakes with bacon. All tasted delicious and service was excellent.We must have dinner here someday.....
