Mildreds Vegetarian Restaurant London

December 4th, 2010 · No Comments

As someone who thrives of a healthy diet of meat and bread a trip to a vegetarian restaurant only happens once a year, on my better halves birthday. Dragged past the numerous steak houses like a petulant child I was eventually glad to be seated inside the long. warm and cozy dining area of Mildreds the [...]

Aspect Hotel Kilkenny – Surprisingly Good Value

November 5th, 2010 · No Comments

I have just returned from a fantastic stay at the Aspect Hotel Kilkenny.  I drove down from Dublin on the new M9 which took a little over an hour, even on Friday evening and with the big signs on road into Kilkenny you can’t miss it!

With pleasant weather touching 20 degrees it was perfect for sitting outside. A really nice place to relax. Shame about the food. Cheaping out on the [...]

The Unicorn Dublin

February 11th, 2010 · No Comments

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 [...]

Hotel Barcelona ME – Merry Crisis

March 24th, 2009 · No Comments

I was lucky enough to spend a few days in the brand new designer Hotel, Barcelona ME, when I was visiting the city for a show earlier this month. This hotel had it all but you would want deep pockets. Maybe not the ideal time to open a hotel of this grandeur. On the other [...]
