A celebration of L’Ecrivain
FOOD FEATURE
Behind every great restaurant is a story, an unwavering inspiration that moves patrons and proprietors alike. There is a chef working tirelessly to bring ideas to life. There is a host, or in this case a hostess, who organises the team and welcomes their guests with subtlety, an apparent effortlessness to their every move. In no restaurant in Ireland is this more apparent than in L’Ecrivain.

Amuse – A diamond in the rough
NEW RESTAURANT FEATURE
The construction of a city wide Luas line has seen Dawson Street uprooted- literally. Hammering and pounding have become a part of life for local businesses, driving owners and customers alike crazy. Restaurants, especially, have suffered under the ever present noise. One would assume that any and all potential customers would meander on by, ignoring the street altogether.
