Last year, it was announced that the Copper Hen in Fenor, Co Waterford had received a Michelin Bib Gourmand award. I turned to Himself, a Waterford native and asked where was Fenor exactly. It turned that it wasn't very far away from his hometown and I made a resolution to visit when next in Waterford. Fast forward a few months, and we finally got around to buying a new car to replace our much-loved 16 year old car. It was time for a road trip with our new wheels, and Sunday lunch duly was booked at the Copper Hen.
Last month saw another Zomato meetup, and my first visit to Suesey Street. First impressions of the place were great, the decor and outdoor terrace are beautiful. Definitely somewhere I can see myself spending alot of time in over the summer months! There's also a great private dining room which would be ideal for an occasion.
We were treated to a number of dishes from the new bar menu on the night including their signature burgers, pork pies, mini fish and chips & salt cod brandades. The highlight for me was the delicious crab salad which tasted amazing and really fresh. I look forward to visiting again soon for some more nibbles and drinks on their terrace. A great spot to begin a night out!
I was a long-time fan of Brasserie Le Pont, located on Fitzwilliam place. I visited it many times for lunch and Sunday lunch. I loved the dining room space and always enjoyed my meals there, despite the strong pinstripe suit crowd. I must admit that I was surprised when I heard that it was closing, to make way for a new venue. It didn't seem like a venue that needed a makeover.
