I was at the one mentioned in the blog above and i would highly reccommend going to one if you ever have a chance. Great fun, great food, the personal touch and something totally different !
I know of one in Glaslough, Co. Monaghan. This enterprising individual takes bookings for Friday and Saturday evenings. It’s BYO and he charges a few quid corkage. He’s also an antique dealer so you’re likely to sitting on a chair with a price tag on it! From what I hear the food is fine but the crack is great.
Soooo intriguing… keep peering at the apartments visible from Maria’s windows to see if I can recognise where it is… A cheapeats.ie underground restaurant is a fantastic idea
Went to a brilliant one in Dublin, hostess is indian irish from england (!) & was witty adn welcoming. Food amazing – 1 of us was vegan and said its the best food shes ever eaten out. Bought our own rioja, no corkage. she said she’s doing a website, so will look out for it and post the link.
Sceptics should try them, good fun and cheaper than restuarants.
Hi – this is interesting. I want to try this in Mayo but really don’t think Mayo is ready for it. It has been rattling around in my head for 12 months or more. I regularly have dinner parties and everyone always rave over my food, but I don’t think people would pay for it especially now with the recession. I think I would have to charge €30 for 3 courses to cover the cost. Anyone in Mayo interested in trying me out?
I heard there is a new fancy one opening now in Cork.
A friend who knows a friend was told the site http://www.clikechef.com which shows now:

Wonder what this is about ?

Ooooh, sounds great. Anyone know of one in Cork?

Ooh I think I’d hate that! Sitting in someone’s living room and ordering food off them would feel weird.

Perhaps a Cheap Eats underground restaurant?!

I can’t get my head around the idea at all, I’m sure it is far from it but it’s like food swinging or something. Car keys in the bowl anybody?

between kenmare and sneem there is a place called strawberry fields
run by 2 folks from holland
a few years back it was exactly this – you dine in their living room
now it turned into a tea rooms
it was wonderful before
their kids going to bed chatting with the people at the 3 tables only
think the props name was Pater
ate ther 5 or 6 times
a great experience and the food was super
apple pie was killer
anyone else know it?

Our venture is slightly different, in that we provide the venue too. We’re in Belfast.
Recommended donation of £20 for three courses plus tea/coffee.
