Marco Pierre White's Steakhouse and Grill Dublin, Ireland - Revisited

Having liked our experience at Marco Pierre White’s Steakhouse & Grill earlier (Please see also review.) we decided to book a table for  lunch in late September after our visit to the Gallery of Photography at Meeting House Sqare, Temple Bar, Dublin, Ireland.

We were recognized immediately, greeted warmly and brought to a corner table, which was already set.

There was no time frame given we had to vacate the table.

We decided to have the value lunch menu again. It had changed to reflect the season.

One starter was still the same. I had it during our previous visit and it had been delicious, so we both chose the Caprese Salad. The quality was the same, but the mix of the tomatoes was slightly different. It was very fresh, light, healthy and tasty at the same time.

He followed with a roasted half chicken and beurre blanc. It came with fries. They had a lemony flavor. The chicken was moist and delicious.

My main course was gnocchi with mushrooms, peas and truffle oil. It was a very satisfying, earthy and moreish dish and well balanced. A good seasonal dish. 

We shared a dessert, the lemon raspberry posset. It was served more like a hot beverage on a dainty saucer with flower print. To our surprise it was lighter then usual, but extremely tasty. 

We shared a large bottle of still water, Fior Uisce, True Water and he had a glass of Joly’s sweet wine with our dessert. The wine was very refreshing and complimented the posset perfectly. 

Staff was attentive and friendly. It seemed there were no walk in guests and the staff/diner ratio was just right. The atmosphere was pleasant and felt upscale.

We paid exactly the same as on our first time at 58.65 Euros or 66 USD. Good value all around.

Marco Pierre White’s Steakhouse and Grill has turned out to be one of our favorite restaurants in Dublin. We will be back for more.

Alchemy Juice Bar @ BT2 Dublin, Ireland

Having been out and about the whole day one Saturday in May 2015 we decided to have dinner at Alchemy Juice Bar located at BT2 on Grafton Street in Dublin, Ireland.

It is located on the first floor of the exclusive and fashion forward department store and still feels fresh and new, it's open now for around 7 months. 

The people behind this concept are Domini and Peaches Kemp. 

They are also responsible for the It's a...outlets.

The interior is modern and understated. 

The cuisine is health conscious and follows the Paleo diet and the raw movement.

We have been at Alchemy a couple of times.

It is self-service and there are a range of salads, soups, desserts, juices and other interesting food items available.

We took our favorite juice "Beet it" with beetroot in the large size, the Paleo Power Salad with a nut cake, the Super Salad with greens, walnuts and blueberries and a Turmeric Cheesecake.

All was very tasty, healthy, wholesome and the Turmeric Cheesecake had an unusual, very bright yellow color, of course it was very enjoyable to eat here again.

Cost was 32 Euro, ca. 34.80 USD.

We will return if we are looking for a healthy meal.
