Sole Seafood & Grill

Last dinner in Dublin, and got this recommendation from our Guinness Storehouse tour guide.

For food, got the scallops (would get them again), the burrata (I might not get this one again since the tomato it came with was dried tomatoes, instead of what I was expecting which was fresh tomatoes), and the seafood platter (yes yes and yes would obviously get this one again), with a side of fries. Also one of the bread they have is was soda bread which is popular in Ireland (since it is made out of Guinness). not my first choice, but when in Ireland would get it, and it was good dipping into the butter sauce of the lobster.

For drinks, got prosecco, whisky sour and pisco sour. All but the pisco sour were good (Limon has wayyy better pisco sours).

Overall great experience and vibe. Would recommend this place.

17 Restaurant and Bar

First place we stopped by in our Porto trip (since it was on the 2nd highest floor of our hotel, Hotel Dom Henrique Downtown.

We mainly stopped by here to catch the sunset. View was ok, but drinks were good (at least mine was)…

Friend had an old fashion (which he doesn’t recommend), and I got a pisco sour without egg whites. They also served peanuts.

Although view as just ok (they have an outside, it doesn’t face the sunset), would still come back here for drinks, especially if staying at the hotel.

The Bar at The Modern

Went to this place for pre-dinner drinks (it is attached to the Moma, but not in the museum itself).

You can show up, and there is a chance you can get a lounge table at the bar (it’s a first come first serve).

We only tried the boneless chicken bucket (which comes with fries). Would get it again.

For drinks, tried a variety of drinks. From a whisky sour to a pisco sour to an espresso martini without simple syrup.

The Bar Room

After a great dinner at Le Gratin, went to this lounge that was right beside it in the financial district.

Great architecture, vibe, and drinks.

For my first drink asked for something between an old fashion and whisky sour, but did not have simple syrup. They gave me something pretty good, but wish it was slightly sweeter (my fault for not mentioning they could have thrown table sugar in there).

For my second drink asked for a pisco sour. That was great.

Food menu looked good, it did not order anything. Next time.
