Dublin Jazz Week - September

Advantages: Good, reliable, warm and cosy
Disadvantages: Can get very busy on w-e

...being a regular in La Mere Zou I feel almost like part of the family! The food is simple, fresh fish and good quality meats, definitely French classical altough lately there has been some changes to modernise the presentation of food. recently redecorate they have kept the French ambiance that have made the success of La Mere Zou for more than ten years. The pan fried black sole is to die for, steamed mussels and chips are a winner but also one part of the a la carte menu is adventurous and will please the most demanding customers.

My Grandmother told me that her Family always went there for a Month in the Summer. She said it was so far from Dublin the Men only could come on the week end. They took the train after work and had to leave very early to make it back to work), on Monday morning. We rented a car and drove out of Dublin and in ten minutes we were there!
