Locks Brasserie in Dublin, Republic of Ireland

Locks Brasserie in Dublin, Republic of Ireland. - ★ June 2015
*Locks Brasserie was award a star only in 2013 and has lost it

A long and grueling year has finally ended for me. Year 4 was always said to be the toughest out of the 5 years in medical school. And now that I have been put through 4 weeks of hell/exams, it is time tor reward my tummy before I leave.

I have tried Locks Brasserie's sister restaurant, Pearl Brasserie, which was located in the city. It wasn't a bad experience, the restaurant was really fancy as compared to Locks's. Food wise, was rather decent, what I love most from there was their Ponzo cod fish. It was really good. Anyway, Locks Brasserie was awarded a michelin star in 2013 and has lost it since, but I thought it should be still written down as who knows when they will get it back again?

Locks Brasserie's location itself was not really friendly. It is about a 20 mins walk from the city itself and that it was in a residential area. The place itself was slightly sketchy, or maybe I'm just not familiar with the area (Portobello).

So I wasn't in Singapore to celebrate my favourite girl in Dublin, Nastassia, 20th birthday. So I decided to treat her to a fancy restaurant when she's back in Dublin. The Dinning Room came up with an amazing offer of 50% for its 6 course tasting menu for 2. It's been awhile since I had the food and thus I don't exactly remember the names for it anymore.. So.. pictures only and a final review.

It's Easter break and I passed all my first semester exam so my boyfriend decided to reward me with a good dinner! :) Decided to eat the pre-theatre (6pm-7.45pm) instead of dinner because the price difference is huge and there aren't much difference in the menu.
