Luna, Drury Street

Thursday night was date night in Dublin City. I had bought a voucher for Luna a few weeks ago and we had a lovely meal there last night along with a nice bottle of wine.

Ciaran started with Oxtail soup with parmesan ravioli, followed by his favourite spaghetti in cream and oil.

My starter was haddock and then I had beef cheeks with risotto for my main (delish!)

We both enjoyed the same dessert of a chocolate tart.

Luna is a great restaurant - it is very atmospheric and stylish and reminds me of a 1950's New York restaurant. The waiters wear wine velvet jackets which are designed by Louis Copeland - the jackets are gorgeous and they add to the atmosphere for sure!

We went to Tribeca.....again!!!

If you are a regular reader of my blog you are probably getting a sense of what is my favourite restaurant in Ranelagh - it's Tribeca.  We are terrors for finding a restaurant we like and then continually going to it and never trying out any other place.

On Sunday we met friends for lunch and when they asked us to make a booking you can imagine what restaurant we chose!!!

The two friends were Frank & Eilish.  They brought their son with them and also Frank's sister and partner.  Frank loved the vibe of the restaurant, he was amazed by how busy it was and how there was such a good vibe in the place.  He had been speaking to the waiter about the steak special on the menu and he loved that when the waiter was delivering the steak to another table as he passed our table he nudged Frank and pointed out what the steak and eggs were like.  Frank turned to me and said "I got the nudge - I love that!!!"  

Food came out and it was gorgeous as usual!  I also had a nice glass of house wine.  I ordered the merlot (as usual - as pointed out by Ciaran!).  After lunch we walked to our house and had coffee and cake for afters.  A lovely afternoon with friends!!

Here's some photo's of Tribeca that I found on the Internet as well as a review of the restaurant.
