Emmet Hotel, Emmet Square, Clonakilty, County Cork, Eire


Emmet Square, Clonakilty, County Cork, Ireland

Clonakilty is an Irish town in County Cork. It was home to Michael Collins, who lived in Emmet Square with his sister for a time, and since 1785 there has been a rather agreeable hotel here. We were staying for a bit and ate every night in the restaurant. The service was hit and miss: an accomplished head waiter, a charming Molly Malone-type waitress, a large smiley guiness-filled lady, and a frowning, lemon-faced young Germanic misery who bore a striking resemblance in many ways to Eva Braun.

Don Lorenzo's, Main Street Blanchardstown Blanchardstown Dublin 15 Eire

Have eaten here quite a few times, at the weekend and during the week. On a Saturday night you would have to book but they can usually fit you in. The earlier you go, the less crowded it is. I had for starter suppli - breaded rice and melted cheese deep fried with a salad. N had the same. He went for a Don special pizza which for £7 had every topping you could think of and it was a 12"!! I had tagatelle which was a huge meal.

Fitzsimons, Temple Bar, Dublin, Eire

I love meat and make no apologies for it. The fresh Wicklow lamb here was an almost mystical experience, absolutely beautiful. To start I had a very fine mushroom soup and finished with a sublime cheesecake with Baileys sauce but it was the lamb that really made me thank God I'm not vegetarian. The whole three-course meal with a couple of bottles of wine came to about £30 a head, which was good value in my book.
