➡️ Swipe for a patisserie surprise 😮

We have found the most unbeatable pastry filling: a slice of lasagne 🔥

When in Fermanagh, @folk_espresso__boulangerie is a must — you might remember we covered here as a @sundaytimesireland review last November and found it practically perfect and faultless 💫

This week’s @sundaytimesireland restaurant review: red hot at 30 and the epitome of a traditional Irish cafe that keeps itself contemporary — @ruacaferua in Castlebar, Co. Mayo 💫

We write in today’s paper (and on the new-look Times app 👀) “Cafés like Rua don’t endure into their fourth decade by chance or luck. Theirs is a simple operation — classic, traditional, timeless and familiar but with just enough contemporary edge, colour and quirkiness to keep things interesting.

A menu loyal to local produce brings together global flavours seamlessly with something here to sate everyone, from young to old… including one of the best, most grown-up kids’ menu that we have seen in the entire country and one of the most perfect iterations of carrot cake we have ever encountered.” Less

@volpeneradublin neighbourhood menu, what value (€38pp), what flavour, what finesse…

When we reviewed this restaurant in September 2023 for the ST it took us about two hours to get there from Drogheda. It was in an awkward area for us to make our way to, but knew we wanted to cover it as it felt important and special. Now, fast forward 18 months and this neighbourhood restaurant is now kiiinda in our neighbourhood (okay, 15 minutes drive might be a stretch) but how lucky anyone is to have @barry_sun_ & @darrendarcy78 and team on their doorstep

What more excuse do you need for a midweek table (Wed & Thurs weekly, 5pm-6:45pm) when these are the kind of dishes on offer? Stunningly prepared dinky oysters, nutty sourdough with wild garlic pesto, a spectacularly elegant take on tomato soup with a sliver of anchovy and lettuce on top with focaccia croutons, the most tender, succulent and lavishly glazed beef short ribs… and that wine list by the glass line-up? Epic. The best €38 we have both spent in a LONG time

Fantastic to catch up with @katiavaladeau 🥳 Less

“@mae_restaurant is marvellous,” we couldn’t conjure up a more simple and spot on sentence to surmise what @grainneokeefe @julien_chaig and team are doing as the concluding line of this week’s @sundaytimesireland restaurant review…

We write about predicting a star to be bestowed upon this Ballsbridge fine dining bistro for the last number of years that never seemed to transpire but we’re not even sure Michelin recognition is even the goal or gauntlet here — this entirely unique couple of square metres can barely be compared to anything else and is really only judged against itself

Four years in it feels like Mae has properly reclined and relaxed into this minuscule space it calls home and we find a fairly faultless menu and an accessibly-priced wine pairing when we chanced a last minute Saturday evening table recently

One of my favorite parts of Jazz Fest time in New Orleans is the after party. But today I got pulled into the vortex of a killer pre-party on the way with fat sputtering P&J oysters off the grill and some @parleauxbeerlab IPA on tap.

And a lemonade stand by the sidewalk (good pricing, no tariffs)

Here’s another dish rising to @jazzfest classic status - crawfish strudel, Food Area 2 , from @caludaskingcake

Not the kind of strudel you might think of first, but you’ll think of this one forever after.

Crawfish tails with trinity and green onions in a lightly creamy, flavorful sauce encased in delicate sheets of phyllo dough, making it an easily portable snack with a rich flavor.

Through the course of two decades it was home to Tommy’s Cuisine - now this Warehouse District space is the new
@lemoynebistronola .

It feels emphatically French and I’m here for that.

It’s the latest from partners behind @plates.nola .

Last year they made a double play, taking over the former Tommy’s and also the lounge next door. That lounge is now @mariasoysterbar . It still connects to the bistro, and its network of private dining rooms.

An early look at the bistro shows a gratifyingly French profile in the menu, wine list and the gorgeous cocktails.

Here’s:

Tuna Nicoise, more entree than salad

Tartare with sunchoke chips

Onion soup rich with tallow

Beef short rib carbonnade (think beef bourguignon from the land of beer rather than wine country)

And from the cocktail list, Yellow with gin and Suze, and the agave en fleur, which wraps tequila in a smooth, aromatic cloak.

2 Michelin stars. Beautiful setting by the ocean, interactive experience, very refined seafood dishes (the vegetarian menu was also interesting and innovative), professional table side service and extensive wine list focusing on Portuguese wine. A must visit when in Porto.•

@2tastebk

No one at the place and our wait time was more than an hour ‼️

Food came out cold and overcooked. Brisket chewy and rubbery. Ribs had decent flavor but was also overcooked. Mac and cheese is probably one of the worst I have had. It looked like the boxed ones and seemed like it was heated up in the microwave…

I have had their desi food before but bbq is NOT IT. They also charged us 18% gratuity even though we were literally the only group that dined in the 2+ hours we were sitting there.

Rating:
Brisket - 1.2
Ribs - 4.1
