"I don’t take notes during restaurant reviews but I do sometimes record parts of the meal with my phone so that I can better remember impressions and details. I smiled as I listened back at the number of oohs and ahhs, mixed with expletives, exclamations of the Lord’s name, “taste this!” and “wow”. Food 8.5/10. Value 8/10.

"The fermented potato bread dish deserves its own plaque on the wall outside, saying “Here lives the perfect plate of Irish food”. Sweeney cooks, blends, salts and then ferments the potatoes for 10 days before whipping them into a thick wedge of potato bread and frying in butter." 8.5/10

"A quinoa crisp is pure crunch, topped with goat's yoghurt, pickled and fermented carrots, and shavings of fresh summer truffle. It feels bright, light and generous: when did you last get fresh truffle in a dish that costs €4?" Food 9/10. Value 9/10.

"I sat down like a bear, stood up like a purring pussycat. It’s exquisite throughout. Form a queue!"
