La Maison: Is this the best value early-bird menu in Dublin? via IrishTimesFood
It’s the sort of four-starter, four-main-course formula
is duly thrust into the more affordable ring. Water is offered, a request for tap water is unperturbed by flinches, and a wooden board with sliced baguette, good pesto and two giant olives lands on the table. Grilled asparagus with a poached egg coated in golden breadcrumbs is good, if a little under-seasoned, although there’s salt and pepper on the table. The egg yields to release the soft yolk which oozes across the plate to meet the mustardy mayo, making a nice sauce for the French asparagus.
For main course, we’ve chosen cod and confit duck, which has presented us with a bit of a wine dilemma. The lightest French red, a Pinot Noir, is €68, which just feels a bit spendy for an early-bird outing, so it’s a Domaine des Anges Grenache and Syrah blend , which, as expected, works better with the duck than the fish.
