Being a tourist in your own town!

We had considered going away for the August Bank Holiday weekend. However, with the hassle of getting dog friendly accommodation we decided that we would stay in Dublin and instead book in to a few different restaurants and pretend we are tourists visiting Dublin.

We had a great weekend!

On Friday we did lunch in Bastible.  Saturday was dinner in Farmer Browns (the Bath Avenue one) and then Sunday was not lunch and not dinner (we got a 3.50pm reservation!) in Featherblade.

We both agreed the food was best in Featherblade but the atmosphere was best in Farmer Browns and the food was pretty good there too!  The food was great in Bastible too but we both said for some reason we wouldn't be rushing back.  But then maybe it is unfair to judge a restaurant on lunch service.

Bastible - we did the tasting menu

Salmon Poke to start in Featherblade

Farmer Browns - comfort food,done well.

The weather wasn't too bad for the weekend and we managed to not get rained on when we cycled around to the different restaurants over the last few days.
