Beatrice Kennedywww.nigoodfood.com | Guide 2013 15££Housed in the charming Queens Quarter, this multi-awardwinning restaurant is consistently rated one of the best placesto eat in the city. It’s been doing its thing since 1996, but thebeautiful building has been in use since the 1860s. It still feels likea grand old house with its shelves of books and period features.We love eating in places that hum with history, but we want greatfood and service, too. That’s here in spades. They go out of theirway to make sure there’s a wide choice of meat, fish, and game onevery menu, but expect to see your fish napped with a chardonnayemulsion and your carrots to be the cumin crispy variety.We’d walk over hot coals for Head Chef Jim McCarthy’s new5 course Carte Blanche menu. His mackerel escabeche isbuenissimo. Co-head chef, Dave O’Callaghan, has made his markon the super value pre-theatre and express menus. All the bread,pasta and desserts are made on the premises. Veggies will bepleased too.Private dining room available upstairs for up to 80 people.Get there: 44 University Road.
