Friday Night Dinner: Myrtle
From the archive: We visited Myrtle in December 2022
We had a wonderful tasting menu with accompanying wine pairing to celebrate my birthday (21 again). Myrtle specialises in using Irish ingredients, and overall the presentation was excellent, without being pretentious, the ingredients and the food in general was definitely the star.
I don’t think they have a Michelin star yet, but it wouldn't surprise me if they’d get one soon. The location was a bit odd, as it was very far away from any sort of public transport or major town centre. It doesn't matter much for us, as we’re not the type of people that like our valet parking.
The food itself, again, was superb. I particularly liked their additional black pudding starter, made with beef black pudding, instead of the traditional pork version. All the other dishes were great too. My favourite was possibly the sea bass with potato scales, and tasty sauce.
As with a tasting menu, we also went with the wine pairing, putting us back £167/person—excluding service charge (12.5%).
Of course, the reason we ended up here was due to Anna's (the head/executive chef) appearance as a judge on Master Chef.

I hate this timeline.
For @fridaynightdinners I wanted to look up what the difference between Raviolo and Girasolo is.

This dapper bird is having a stroll looking for lunch. I like the iridescence in its wings.

I got a new lens. It's a little bit larger, and loads heavier, than my older one.
