Rigbys

<p>Last night we went to Rigbys on Leeson Street for dinner.  Ciaran and I joke that we are like old people because we like to eat early.  When I called looking for a reservation for 7pm, I was told that it was no problem but that they would need the table back by 9.30pm.  9.30pm!!! Who eats that late?!</p><p>Rigbys is a little strange in that there are no menus and there are only limited dinner options. For starters, we had a choice of chicken or salmon and then for mains the choice was beef or hake.  There was a further special choice of lobster for dinner for a bargain price of €15.95 for a half and €26.95 for a full lobster.</p><p>Ciaran had  a chicken ballotine to start - this was lovely and I would order it again.  My flaked salmon and cucumber salad was also very good.</p><p>I chose the beef for main while Ciaran selected the lobster.  However, after one bite of his meal he decided he wanted to switch out his lobster for my beef.  I was happy enough to do this!</p><p>Dessert options was a cheese plate or a dessert trio. We decided to split the dessert trio which consisted of a chocolate biscotti, a slice of coffee and chocolate terrine served with brown bread ice cream.  Delicious!</p><p>The atmosphere in this place is great.  It's small and casual.  However, the best thing about Rigbys is that it is BYOB.  It is situated right next door to a very good wine shop who give you 10% off any purchases when you tell them you are dining next door.</p><p>We finished off a great night with a few after dinner drinks in Birchalls in Ranelagh.</p><div class='separator' style='clear: both; text-align: center;'> <a href='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRhXR7aytFSxpEjhxnVw_yYOOIOGDP6dd6H9b3Mgcc_7FIWZGsxyDJZTqG4wb6NpdeNfpqhm0Hvk1RS1-CbcdHb1pVV_GMtW7_kzf4uRhwyc5EEdnJNlu0yeJgbD2SD1uhyphenhyphennL7hs20giPV/s1600/lobster.jpg' imageanchor='1' style='margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;'> <img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRhXR7aytFSxpEjhxnVw_yYOOIOGDP6dd6H9b3Mgcc_7FIWZGsxyDJZTqG4wb6NpdeNfpqhm0Hvk1RS1-CbcdHb1pVV_GMtW7_kzf4uRhwyc5EEdnJNlu0yeJgbD2SD1uhyphenhyphennL7hs20giPV/s400/lobster.jpg" /> </a> </div> <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVR22JVtrkqAp5-vhhfdhv7gEpyZ4kJz3W-MWsLO5grUNrANZoseJZ1Q9sO937pYpBQXJkTIVbuOSsrxeN2wyazuEOcQFoxqbP5a1we8SCSK9zGN1_mtQWTxy5MS_WnsZAegYBu7qFXLLU/s640/blogger-image-1947988693.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVR22JVtrkqAp5-vhhfdhv7gEpyZ4kJz3W-MWsLO5grUNrANZoseJZ1Q9sO937pYpBQXJkTIVbuOSsrxeN2wyazuEOcQFoxqbP5a1we8SCSK9zGN1_mtQWTxy5MS_WnsZAegYBu7qFXLLU/s640/blogger-image-1947988693.jpg" /></a></div>
