Situated right next door to the The Savoy Hotel in the heart of Limerick, this recent arrival to the city hit the ground running.
On descending the wide marble steps you will find a large, stylish restaurant-grill with plenty of buzz, which is cleverly broken into sections with little partitions and lots of mirrors and subdued lighting creating a warm ambience.
To begin, a delicious Liscannor Bay homemade chowder might appeal, or maybe organic duck liver paté with toasted brioche or a Caesar salad, with main courses such as a Bang Bang chicken or a 30 day dry-aged Black Angus Sirloin Steak from O’Connors Farm, Limerick.
Interesting choices for vegetarians might include Hamptons Katmandhu Curry served with Naan bread & steamed rice or Oriental noodle stir-fry.
Desserts are rich – how to choose between white and dark chocolate mousse with a berry compote and lemon shortbread, and Bailey’s and Malteser cheesecake served with chocolate fudge sauce and vanilla ice cream? A lighter option might be gelato ice creams or sorbet.
There is a real desire to please here, with very attentive serving staff, a genial front of house manager and huge complimentary bottles of water (still or sparkling) appearing on the tables as you are seated.
The wine list offers a thoughtful selection of bottles, and an exceptionally wide range of around 50 wines by the glass.
This stylish, accessible and well-located Limerick restaurants proving to be a real asset to a city that has seen the launch of an encouraging number of attractive hotels and restaurants in recent times.
