Sick of hearing about this recession drivel my colleague and I decided the best detox would be to visit The Unicorn just off St Stephens Green for lunch. Rubbing shoulders with the movers and shakers of the Irish finance industry during this lunch hour it was clear by their pot bellies that their recession is confined to sensational newspaper headlines and an is primarily an event that is happening elsewhere. How fitting that the people who caused this mess get off scot-free. I digress….
The place was rammed to the gills and we were lucky to get a seat. After enjoying an excellent lunch it is easy to see how this place remains so popular during these supposedly tough times. The variety on offer for the buffet starter would have been enough to satisfy even the most choosy of eaters. After enjoying the juicy olives, mozzarella, tomatoes salad and a range of other tasty morsels it was onto a main course of roast lamb. The lamb was slightly over done by my taste but I’ve unfortunately come to expect this in many Irish establishments. The roast potatoes, veg and yorkshire puddings which were served as accompaniments were however excellent. As we had a full schedule in the afternoon we stuck to water though the extensive wine list was enticing.
4/5 for the Unicorn.
