We just had two utterly forgettable (but still better than 90% of Irish restaurants) cafe meals. Le Web must be the only tech conference in the world where one of the lunch nibbles was fois gras cooked to order! Unfortunately we didn’t make it there for this year’s Le Web.

Great food and wine as per usual. Yes, even though the weather is getting cooler you can guarantee the man out the front to be selling Oysters.

A basement experience in a Belgian restaurant called Belgo Centraal. It's food and beer list is amazing. All waiters dressed in monk's habits.Trunched my way far too many biers blondes! Booking is necessary though. I'd recommend it for the beer list alone. http://www.toptable.co.uk/details.cfm/qs/rid%7C1258/ Had a great (drinking) meal in London last Thurs night in Covent Garden.

FYI I believe there's a St Patrick's Festival City market on Emmett Place (Opera House) this Sat - a coming-together of Mahon Farmer's market and some artisan producers. Might be worth a look. We tranched through the English Market weekend before last and the highlight was an excellent Latte (or milky coffee as they are called in our humble abode) at one of the stalls. Prices are far too high for the veg and perishables though. Just an observation. Also FYI UCC are running a Speciality Food Production diploma course from April-May (see page 2 in the Farming Supplement with today's Irish Examiner) covering "food production science, technology & nutrition of foods with emphasis on traditional methods etc". I have requested details and will keep an update, should we decide to do it on www.freewebs.com/jdeire hee hee.
