As a frequent visitor to Dublin (my husband and I have been every year since 2001), I feel like I've eaten in most of the restaurants in the city centre, but every year we make at least one trip to the Eliza Blues restaurant.
Every time we've been here we have been seated in a different place - ranging from near the window to on the slightly raised platform a the back. Each location has been wonderful for different reasons and we've had no complaints in that respect. Each time our waitress has introduced herself promptly and offered us a pre-dinner drink from the extensive menu. They have an excellent selection of wines, beers and spirits as well as liqueurs for after dinner. We have sampled a number of their bottles of wine and have never had a bad bottle, always thoroughly enjoying our well-priced choice.
The food has always been superb. The following is a selection of the types of dishes we have sampled at this restaurant, but we have been many times and therefore have had lots of different meals here. We have had starters ranging from simple prawn cocktails and pate to more exotic king prawns in thai style dipping sauce and foie gras. Our main meals have ranged from large and filling salads, meat dishes including a spectacular duck dish cooked with plum sauce and crispy potatoes and varied vegetable sides. Their vegetarian choices always look delicious too and not just the boring nut cutlets or vegetarian lasagne. They are always inspired menus with, I believe, something for everyone. And desserts? Well what can I say...I specifically remember a dark chocolate tarte with fresh berries and raspberry coulis with was divine and a stunning Tiramisu. My husband often plumps for a cheesecake of sorts or a cheese plate and his choices have always been superb (yes, of course I always nick a morsel of his dessert - it would be rude not to, wouldn't it?!)
The ambience is always lovely, just right for a romantic meal, or a larger get-together with friends. There is always light music playing in the background. Often this music is classical or soft jazz (I hate jazz and yet never get offended by their choice of music!)
A 3 course meal for the two of us with a nice bottle of wine and pre-dinner drinks (and maybe an irish coffee to top it all off) is generally priced at around £50-60 which we consider to be excellent value and certainly better value than some London restaurants we've been to! If you're in Dublin and looking for a quality restaurant to visit for a fun and great-tasting evening, then look no further than Eliza Blues.
