Looking forward to Date Night? We are beginning to sense some love in the air. Keeping on topic of our senses, why not treat your other half or soon to be other half to something special and spoil them with the sense of taste. Here are Five restaurants worth checking out for date night:
Trieste
Trieste is brought to you by husband and wife duo Kate & Barry O’Donovan. When it comes to hospitality it runs through this pair’s veins. Trieste is an italian cafe and wine bar which opened on Valentine’s day of 2020. What better way to spend a romantic date than this place. Its cosy relaxed ambience gives the perfect compliment to a glass of their many wines in stock and selection of caricature boards of Italian goodness.

If you’re looking to impress and beyond look no further. JP brings a collective of wild and foraged ingredients to the table creating exquisite food. Its surroundings are contemporary yet relaxed too. JP’s aim is to ‘look back in order to look forward’ using traditional methods of cooking such as curing, pickling, smoking and fermenting.

McSwiggan’s
Located in Woodquay, McSwiggans has seen a bit of a makeover in the last few years but has kept its traditional family-run spirit. The biggest change is their philosophy on food, they make ‘delicious food’ keeping it ‘honest, simple and local’. If your other half is into Steak or Seafood this is probably the venue for you. They offer local favourites such as Oysters and Sirloin Steak. They source their fish daily and from local coasts and their steak is cooked 350 degrees in a charcoal josper oven.
