Fitzers Restaurant

I was in here about a year ago for Saturday lunch and it was really quiet. Two of us ordered the bangers and mash but were told they were out of the bangers so they went for the beef and Guinness stew instead. The other one of our party had the grilled sirloin steak, which was served with beef tomatoes, flat cap mushrooms and fries, and I had the warm chicken salad. The overall opinion was that all dishes were adequate but not delicious. And my salad was definitely overpriced (it was nearly € 19) for what it was. Desserts were better and and we shared apple crumple, lemon tart and chocolate terrine — all very tasty. With coffees and tip our bill came to € 35 per head, which actually wasn’t bad for a relaxing and filling afternoon. In fairness we sat there for ages.

5 stars because it was where my husband and I had our first date. Great Temple Bar location, decent food, and the hostess squeezed us in without a reservation.
