Great Dinner at Town Bar & Grill

Strange that it’s a Monday and I’m not posting the review from yesterday’s Sunday Tribune … but for those who are interested in my dining excursions, the plan was for a review of Town Bar & Grill, which happens to be my favourite Dublin restaurant – bar none. (Funnily, I've never reviewed it.)

It was a girls’ night last Friday, a celebration of the return to normal social life of a friend who’s recently recovered from a serious illness. Where else could we have gone but into the comforting embrace of TB&G?

Ronan Ryan’s new chef – John O’Connell, who was in the kitchen at Cooke’s Café in its heyday – is delivering in spades. The food was terrific: I had a wonderful crab and Dublin Bay prawn cocktail with herb mayonnaise to start, followed by char-grilled veal loin with a piquant salsa verde for mains.

We drank bubbles – a gift from one of Lady Lazarus’ grateful clients – and the presence of Eamon Dunphy at the next table confirmed TB&G’s continuing status as the city’s canteen of choice.
