We decided to have dinner in Midleton after the Jameson whiskey tour and took one of Conor's (a…read morebartender from the tour) recommendations to La Trattoria. And we are glad we did!! The place was small but felt newly remodeled and like all the other restaurants in Ireland so far, the staff was very nice. We had pasta (penne Bolognese) and a spicy pepper and sausage pizza. Both were good, not the best we've ever had but we were happy with our decision to go there. After we ate, we started chatting with the couple next to us. We were impressed that they managed to eat a plate of chicken wings as a starter and soup, followed by a full Irish dinner for him, and a large salad for her. They were likely equally impressed that we finished our pizza, garlic bread and most of the pasta, followed by a HUGE piece of chocolate cake and ice cream! The only negative review about this little restaurant was that the bathroom was dirty. We would still recommend, and hopefully that's a non-issue for anyone else.

The most outstanding service I have experienced in Ireland, the staff was friendly, quick, helpful, just awesome! Very well trained I must say! I seems like that they always get quite busy, so if you really want to eat here you better reserve a table. Otherwise they´ll try everything to squeeze you in.

Gourmet Burger Bistro not only has amazing curb appeal the food is also great. I went with the Chilli Burger (which has a 100% organic beef burger w/ jalapeño salsa and sweet chili mayo - I added monetary jack cheese also, the burgers come garnished with the flag of the country they are named after... but the "Chilli Burger" on the menu I think is a play on words for Chile (example of other burgers: Irish, Greek, American, etc.). The burger had a little kick with the jalapeño salsa but was tamed down with the sweet chili mayo for a perfect balance. The service was quick and polite, unlike many places in Dublin that i've visited & the food is reasonably priced. As soon as I was seated I was greeted by a server and brought ice water... thank the heavens, I was so thirsty and find myself always having to ask for water instead of it being brought as a curtesy with my meal. The place is very clean and waiting time on your burgers is quick. They had daily specials with both the burgers and dessert & have alcoholic beverages too. Vegetarians are also welcome, they have many veggie burger and salad options.

GOOD OFFER AT MILANO'S…read more Didn't see any brick oven but the pizza at Milano's in Oliver Plunkett Street was good. So too was the welcome, the service and atmosphere in a restaurant that was very busy early on Wednesday evening. Perhaps the rush was partly down to the promotional voucher in the local Evening Echo that gives you one free pizza for each ordered. Not a bad offer at all so I said I try it out. We started with a little intro, some marinated olives in one bowl and Rustica Tomatoes in another, each costing €2.95 and each very very tasty indeed. Promising. Pizza is the order of the day here and you see the three chef conveyor line in front of you if you have a seat in the back half of the well lit, well laid out establishment. We both order the Il Padrino (€13.95), torn chicken with rustica tomatoes and a mix of chargrilled Italian vegetables, on a rich sauce of tomato and pesto. It was a smashing pizza, tasty and moist and gone too soon. Not a big choice of wines but do you really need a big choice for pizzas? Bottles will cost you around €23-24 while you can get a glass for about €6.50 or a 25cl serving for eight or nine euro. Finished off the Italian way, something sweet with the coffee. We didn't want a full dessert so settled for the new introduction which is called Semi Freddo Reale: Creamy gelato dessert made with nougat, praline and marsala wine, served with a shot of espresso on the side. Gorgeous. And it was two happy campers that went out the door.
