We were celebrating our 12 yr wedding anniversary and as we were seated overlooking the canal I remarked how lovely the setting was for our special meal.
We settled in to our seats and ordered a bottle of Cote du Rhone. For starter we decided to split a beef carpaccio but found out that the last one had just been sold as we ordered. We ordered duck pâté with fig chutney to share to start instead of the beef.
The above is the bread service which had a selection of breads served with pesto, butter and olive oil & balsamic vinegar.
For main I chose the Rib Eye with pepper sauce while Ciaran had the pork. Both were delicious. My steak was huge so I gave half to Ciaran and he also had my chips.
For dessert we shared a chocolate pudding which was melt in the mouth - delicious!!
On the way home we saw some Dublin wildlife with two water rats (eeek!) running in to the canal as we walked along and a big fox blatantly strolling up our road as we turned in to the cul de sac.
I enjoyed seeing the fox. The rats, not so much!!
