Walked in out of the
mid-week rain to a warm welcome in Fenn’s Quay. We were quickly seated and no
delay either with the menus. But it was the Specials Board that caught the eye
as we decided on what to eat for lunch at the long established city restaurant.
I spotted the O’Mahony’s
Lamb and Rosscarbery Black Pudding Burger with toasted seaweed and brioche bun
and rustic potatoes (14.95). My server was very enthusiastic about this one.
And it was terrific, great meat as usual from O'Mahony’s in the English Market
and, though I might have preferred a few more hints of the black pudding, it was
a terrific dish. Also, I liked the use of the brioche here.
CL also picked from
the Specials Board, going for the Baked Hake, with courgette, Ballyhoura
Mushrooms with pea cream and rustic potatoes (14.95). This was a thoughtful
blend, really well cooked and great to see another local product given a chance
to shine.
I was delighted with
my vibrant starter, the smaller size of the Fenn’s Salad with toasted seeds,
chickpeas, and beetroot with honey mustard and dressing. It looked well and
tasted just as well, almost juicy with lots of flavours. The soup of the day
was Celeriac, a favourite of CL’s, and this was top notch also.
Service was excellent
and, all in all, our lunchtime visit to Fenn’s Quay was a bright interlude in a
rather miserable July day.
