Market Bar, Dublin
Ever have one of those life-changing experiences that restores your faith in Irish cuisine and in particular what gets passed off as fine food in our eating houses? No, me neither.
But I did come close and all it took was some nicely cooked mussels, potato bravas, salmon croquettes, Spanish tortilla, calamari, tuna salad, meatballs and satay chicken. The other evening I ate in the Market Bar on Fade Street in Dublin. Even Eddie Hobbs would have had no complaints. Too often, I've been disappointed on my gastronomic adventures in Ireland. Usually too, I've had to part with mucho Eurodollars for the displeasure. But this outing was different on both counts; it was free and it was mouth watering. Facking ace, it was.
