Another great night at Bresson! Wonderful atmosphere and great food. A big shout out for service. Asked for an espresso martini at the end of the evening and while the bartender had left the team improvised and presented the perfect cocktail! Well done to them. I look forward to the next visit! Thanks!

Richmond Restaurant - Portobello Dublin. Last night the team produced the best meal we've had so far in England and Ireland. (Travelling four nations in the Christmas period) Beautiful, confident, bold and complex, all in good measure. The restaurant has been in operation for about nine years and is a well oiled machine. If you're anywhere near Dublin then seek this place out.
