It's not all doom and gloom out there, as these brave restaurateurs in Dublin and Cork show...
Rodney and Audrey have just opened a new Sushi King on Dawson St. in Dublin 2. The new shop and restaurant is an evolution of the wonderful Sushi King take-away on Baggot St., and has the luxury of seats for SK customers so Rodney and Audrey can offer both take out and sit in facilities.
The SK menu has expanded patiently and organically since they first opened, so there is now a range of Japanese and Asian hot food, soups and salads. Take a look at the menu at www.sushiking.ie, on their lovely site designed by Alison Doran.
Baggot St is open Monday to Friday 11am to 6pm, whilst Dawson St is open 7 days 11am to 7pm, and there are plans to extend this in the near future. Best wishes for the new venture from us all!
Down in Kinsale, Pearse and Mary have moved the superb Toddies slightly out of town to the lovely Bulman bar at Summercove, a most gorgeous setting. Take a look at Pearse's new menus, and this is a don't miss! for anyone heading down to Cork for the summer.
