No room at The Grand so a dark, wet and blustery drive down to
The Clontarf Castle
 |
| Dublin Bay Prawn... Just the one and some tails |
 |
| That's a 32 euro steak that is! |
Staff were very very good indeed but next time I will buy a McDonalds on the way down; €32 for a steak - now seriously - how good would that have to be? The menu should have been a warning "The Aberdeen Angus is a placid breed giving tender, marbled and low stress beef". Steak was OK - nice roast veggies tho'.
 |
Inside it is even better - all fusion Victorian Baronial and Ikea glass and wood
|
The hotel was full of disgruntled American tourists (undercarriage fault on US Airways, trip tagline
"
Experience Dublin like the locals do") - cold, wet, windy and very very expensive!
Clontarf has some very seriously
bloody history... poor Brian Boru and what a lot of double crossing!
