Stayed in Dublin for a night, for a change of scene, to check out some sights in the capital and see an exhibition in Dublin Castle called Census 1926. The exhibition is interesting as it disclosed the census done 100 years ago, the first one after independence.
The other important reason is to eat at Michelin restaurants, a lot there but very few near where I live.
Tried D’Oulier Street in Dublin center, a 13
courses tasting dinner, tasty dishes, some dishes have really used too
many ingredients, good attempt and a nice experience.
The
next morning spend the time at Howth, a peninsula north east of Dublin
famous for seafood. It was bitterly cold wind, but the sea scenery is
pleasant when the sun finally shine through.
I was expecting a
big market hall, but actually just a number of fish shops and
restaurants. Bought some fresh looking mackerel, squid and surf clam.
Ate at Mamo, run by a French trained Irish chef. I have to say this is one of two best cooked fish I have ever eaten in Ireland in the last 6 year. Just cooked, juicy meat, crispy skin, tasty sauce.
