Delish dining to leave you Green with envy

By intern Oonagh O’Mahony. Summer time for my group of friends means one thing, birthday celebration after birthday celebration after birthday celebration. Going out for a night on the tiles is all well and good, but you can do that any weekend you want. However, finding something different to do that suits the budgets of a haphazard group of people can be tough. So it was great

Frugal French Foodie in Brittany

By intern Deirdre Walsh. On my recent trip to Brittany I took in a gastronomic tour of the quaint town of St Malo - lucky me! It included cider tasting, a visit to a chocolatier/patissier and lastly we were welcomed into a gorgeous spice shop, Epices Roellinger. The manager greeted us with a warm glass of ‘grog’ - spiced rum and cider which was delicious and

Budget dining at Bentleys on the Green

I treated a friend to lunch for her birthday recently and as she’s the girl who has everything, I didn’t dare buy her a gift. Fortunately, neither she nor yours truly had dined at Richard Corrigan’s Bentleys restaurant on Stephen’s Green, so I booked it for a nice, Friday birthday lunch. They have very recession-friendly and prudently-priced lunch offers – two courses for €19.75 and three

Café is Streats ahead of the rest in Portlaoise

On a brief trip to Tipp last week doing research for a friend’s impending nuptials in July, we stopped off for coffee and refreshments at a café off the Dublin Road in Portlaoise where we snacked on tasty sandwiches, soups and good coffee. The place was spotless and the service attentive – obviously the owners have invested in good training as

Prudence has a new eat-treat: Just Off Francis gets the thumbs up

[caption id="attachment_2142" align="alignnone" width="500" caption="Pic posed by model sandwich"][/caption] Pru and the crew had to run out this week for a quick and tasty lunch it being press week and all. So we ran literally around the corner to a relatively new café called Just Off Francis – being that it’s just off Francis Street where Prudence HQ is located. The crew being only two, we

Mean Maureen Discovers Underground Restaurants & Supper Club Dublin

A fascinating new venture has been started by a keen Rathfarnham home cook. She says it’s an effort to beat the recession at its own game and provide a good-value night out with excellent food and an extra source of income to the host. Having read about the success of the “Underground Restaurant” in London and Miss Marmite Lover’s vegetarian home restaurant, she decided to give

Prudence goes ga-ga for Green 19 on Camden Street

I discovered a great new place to eat out this week on Camden St called Green 19. It’s kinda cool but not pretentiously trying to be trendy. The food’s really good and the wine is to die for. Two very good friends and I were out having a birthday celebration (yes mine!) and we shared some nice starters between us (which cost €21 between three

Pru’s a Sucker for savvy dining at Radisson Blu Royal

One thing I still love about the recession is the number of restaurants (almost all of them at this stage) who’ve responded to the downturn by introducing early-bird menus. And one of Pru’s favourite haunts for prudent dining (and most visited it has to be said, I’m on first name terms with Maciek, one of the Polish waiters there) is the Verres En Vers restaurant at

Frugal Friday at the Larder, Parliament Street

It was indeed a very frugal Friday and will be for a few more weeks to come, due to bills and a NY shopping trip. I met a friend for a catch-up on Friday night at the Larder on Dublin’s Parliament Street where they have an early-bird (or pre-theatre) menu – two courses for €15, three courses for €18 – we like! For the two
