Jaipur

Come experience India through her world of cuisine across an infinite palate of flavours. An Indian meal is more than a feast for the senses because it carries the impression of geography, local custom, traditional belief and religious ideology. The result is an exotic blend of taste, texture and form that encompasses a wealth of regional specialities dictated by climate, location and culinary tradition.
Food in India is imbued with religious sanctity because it maintains life. Even today in many traditional homes, a token offering of food is made to the gods before every meal. It is also an essential element of the hospitality of any home, rich or poor. That is why a feast marks every important Indian ceremony from birth to death.
Our culinary traditions are founded on principles of Ayurveda or good health that originated over 3000 years ago. A philosophy of food that believes that man is, what he eats. Thus food was classified into 3 main groups: Saatvik foods that promoted spiritualism; Rajasik food suitable to a royal lifestyle and Tamasik food that appealed to the baser instincts of man.
The Ayurvedic health plan advocated a balanced diet based on a harmonious alliance of rasas (flavours) and gunas (therapeutic qualities) that were prescribed according to climate, season and physical temperament. This culinary legacy influenced the development of myriad food cultures including one of the most creative vegetarian cuisines in the world.
So be our guest and discover a thousand gourmet worlds in one country. At a feast of culinary specialities collected from the Indian subcontinent and recreated by our master chefs, for your dining pleasure.

Thai Orchid

The Thai Orchid Restaurant in Dublin's Temple Bar serves excellent traditional Thai cuisine, matched with a warm and cosy atmosphere.If you grant yourself the pleasure of dining in the Thai Orchid restaurant in Westmoreland Street, Central Dublin, you will end up by thanking God for one of the most ravishing elements of His creative genius – taste buds. The substance for nurturing the body is in the food, but the joy resides in the sauces. They may even surpass the gladness of heart imparted by the “new wines” from the wineries of Australia and South Africa, although in this restaurant Thai beer is equally popular. It is often beer for the guys and wine for the gals.

Food presentation, which is a practised art in The Orchid, allows patrons to determine the size of the portions they put on their warmed plates and also facilitates sharing which is the extra dimension maximising the pleasure of eating in oriental houses, especially when there is a menu worth sharing. Tastiness, which includes the mild or spicy aspects, reigns mainly in the sauces. There are 10 main course chicken dishes, but the crispy strips are a mouth-watering manifestation of Thai cuisine, and, of course, enhanced by the sauces especially sweet and sour. Rice is basic, but in catering for a wide range of tastes, potatoes and peanuts are available with chicken curry. Noodles too. While chicken enjoys perennial appeal, the Orchid proffers recommended duck dishes.

The Roast Duck enjoys the diversity of the choice of three sauces, such as honey, ginger and tamarind, and sweet and sour. Inevitably, spicy curry duck tops the list.

Beef enjoys a significant place on the menu as does fish and seafood. Pork is not neglected and vegetarian dishes are far from being overlooked.

In this restaurant, choice is meaningful. There are dozens of dishes from which to select. If you are a die-hard traditionalist you can order a Weeping Tiger. A what? Actually it is a char grilled eight ounce steak which has been marinated Thai style and is served on a sizzling plate. Sizzlers have the habit of uplifting the dining-out experience.

Visitors to Dublin will find the Good World Restaurant in South Great George’s Street in Dublin 2 is a chosen venue by many local Chinese families. This is surefire testimony to the compliance of the GWR to best standards. Equally assuring is the fact that this popular establishment - it can seat 80 to 100 customers - has been in business for almost 20 years. It thrives at several levels - lunch, early bird and dinner and the costs are price-right reasonable. For instance, for only 11 euro, the main course luncheon choice offers nine delectable dishes. The selection widens temptingly for a mere two euro extra. And this is not a café but a comfortably appointed restaurant with a courtesy of service which is almost unique to Chinese waiting staff. Therefore it is not surprising that customers have to wait for a table, but never for long considering the adequacy of the capacity.

The Good World Restaurant in South Great George’s Street, Dublin 2, which has been pleasuring the taste buds of its clientele for the past 18 years, conforms to this high criteria. The statistical profile substantiates this: 50% of the clientele are Chinese and the other half are made up of locals and visitors. The reality of this customer profile impacts on you when you see the menu is in the Chinese language and English, of course.One of the joys of dining in Chinese restaurants is that it is so easy to share. With the dishes sizzling aromatically beneath your nostrils, your appetite is dispositioned towards banqueting in diversity. In the Good World a distinguishing feature is the variety of mouth-watering sauces. For instance, there are several duck dishes on the menu and all have different sauces sesame, taro, plum, orange, lemon and even crab meat sauce. And doesn’t the honey sauce on those spare ribs provide that finger-licking succulence for that popular starter. Chinese cuisine is synonymous with choice which is wide within each section. Consider prawns for a moment: Good World has seven different dishes to match a variety of tastes via sauces such as garlic and black bean sauce. If you wish to push the boat out, the fresh seafood dishes appeal: on menu is fresh lobster, sea bass, turbot or deep sea Abalone for seventy five Euro. That may be for Lotto winners, but the early bird menu offers an excellent three course meal for under twenty Euro.

Elephant & Castle Restaurant

The New York Elephant & Castle opened in 1973 with a menu whose dishes soon appeared throughout lower Manhattan restaurants. It led the restaurant to adopt as motto at the time "Copied by many, Excelled by none."

The Dublin Elephant & Castle was opened in 1989 when one of the restaurant's Irish chefs was denied entry into the U.S.A., so they decided to open a restaurant in Dublin instead. If Mohammed cannot come to the mountain, the mountain will come to Mohammed.


Situated not far from the Embankment of the Thames, Elephant and Castle can easily be reached by Underground via the Bakerloo Line, to whose last stop it lends its name.

Jaipur

Come experience India through her world of cuisine across an infinite palate of flavours. An Indian meal is more than a feast for the senses because it carries the impression of geography, local custom, traditional belief and religious ideology. The result is an exotic blend of taste, texture and form.

Food in India is imbued with religious sanctity because it maintains life. Even today in many traditional homes, a token offering of food is made to the gods before every meal. It is also an essential element of the hospitality of any home, rich or poor. That is why a feast marks every important Indian ceremony from birth to death.

Our culinary traditions are founded on principles of Ayurveda or good health that originated over 3000 years ago. A philosophy of food that believes that man is, what he eats. Thus food was classified into 3 main groups: Saatvik foods that promoted spiritualism; Rajasik food suitable to a royal lifestyle and Tamasik food that appealed to the baser instincts of man.

The Ayurvedic health plan advocated a balanced diet based on a harmonious alliance of rasas (flavours) and gunas (therapeutic qualities) that were prescribed according to climate, season and physical temperament. This culinary legacy influenced the development of myriad food cultures including one of the most creative vegetarian cuisines in the world.

So be our guest and discover a thousand gourmet worlds in one country. At a feast of culinary specialities collected from the Indian subcontinent and recreated by our master chefs, for your dining pleasure.

Il Segreto Restaurant

In one little corner of Merrion Row that is forever Dublin, to hopelessly misquote Rupert Brooke, a burgeoning foodie empire is rapidly unfolding. It all emanated from a simple little eatery, namely the Unicorn Minor in Merrion Court, off Merrion Row. Founded in 1948 by an Italian family, it was run for many years by Miss Dom. This was the informal pizza and pasta end of their other, more formal Unicorn restaurant on Merrion Row. The Merrion Row Unicorn closed, but the Unicorn Minor thrived, and extended along the mews-type houses of the laneway. Saturday lunch was when you'd see the glitterati while away an afternoon here.

Il Segreto is a classy little Italian restaurant tucked away on Merrion Row in inner Dublin. You're in for a traditional Italian treat at Il Segreto.

In 1995, the Unicorn was acquired by Giorgio Casari and Jeff Stokes, husband of Pia Bang, and has expanded to include the Unicorn Cafe and Food Emporium, and Number 5. In addition, Jeff and Pia's sons, Simon and Christian, opened Bang Cafe on Merrion Row, and the private members club, Residence, around the corner on Stephen's Green. There are also ambitious plans to redevelop the Unicorn site.
