There was a very good place around South William St? It was on a corner - can't remember the name but something typical like Taj Mahal - the whole place was quite open plan and airy, with steps leading up from the reception to the dining area.
Don't know if it still exists but had a few great meals there about 10 years ago.
Eastern Balti House (also known as Eastend Tandoori)? It was on the corner near Stephens Green Centre. It's now Maloti and not as good as it was but still tasty.
That might've been it alright - sounds like maybe the same place that Elefantfresh was talking about?
BTW, any recomendations for a city centre Indian for when I'm in Dublin - you reckon this Maloti is still worth going to?
Not the point maybe, but I'd be happy to pay the price if the alternative is French steaks - I've had many a good meal in France but never a good steak.
lol € 80 for a meal is only good value to those who know not the value of € 80. More than half the people in the world eat a months food for less than half that..
In my opinion an expensive restaurant is anywhere that will cost over €80 per head for a meal, not including wine. These are usually good value.

Spot on.This is a fairly pretentious comment and deliberately misses the point Purple has been making in this thread.
Roman Abramovich might blow more on one single meal than I would spend on food in a year but that doesn't preclude him from getting good value for it. Value is a very subjective thing.

Perhaps he should spend it on a decent manager!
Yes, he should Cech that out.Yeah, his last course of chicken piri-piri had gone a little stale & was causing him indigestion.

Take the meal for €80 per head in Dublin city centre (or Cork or Galway or Limerick), the same meal in Spain will be cheaper. That just tells us that income levels are lower in Spain. The same meal in Tanzania will cost less again. Does that mean that you get ripped off in Spain? Of course not.You miss the point completely. We are not talking about the value one individual gets for their money. Personaling that individual to be an extremely rich person like Roman A. is merely going off on a tangent. We are talking about rip off Ireland, where often food which costs 20 or 30 euro elsewhere costs double that here. Dine abroad, and you will see what I mean. Not only that, but you generally get much better service in places like the States.

You can only judge value relative to those supplying the same sector operating in the same market.
Thanks, you must be snowed under with ironing....Good man Purple - I don't have time for it these days but you are holding the fort well there.
