L'Ecrivan

Tasting menu in L'Ecrivan last night, couple of pints in Doheny & Nesbitt, classic Dublin pub, fantastic pint, then round to Matt the Thresher. good pint and the seafood smelt fantastic, will defo go there at some point, not been in before and was very impressed, very Southside / upmarket tourist in a good way.  On to L'Ecrivan -  if I remember correctly:

 3 breads, crusty white and brown soda both fantastic, focaccia a bit sweet, lovely soft butter, extra when we ran out.

Amuse Bouche – Baked Mackerel

Salmon 2 ways, potatoes, horseradish under a smoky dome

Lime Sorbet palate cleanser

Fois gras with brioche

Chicken

Peach crumble

Raspberry preparations

Petit Fours

Espresso

Bottle of Ramon Bilbao Limited Edition Rioja

Service was brilliant, waiting staff knew what they were serving, bottles of (tap) water kept topped up, maybe a bit quick to fill the wine, as we definitely wouldn't have a second, but hardly a complaint.  Very leisurely,  plenty of time to watch the theater and people at other tables

Fourth or fifth time I've been and not the last
