Elephant and Castle Spicy Wings

chump · 27-06-2006 2:22pm #1

Just thought after the talk in the recipe forum we might discuss where to get these tasty 'spicy chicken wings'... Not really interested in any alternative-style wing but I do know of 3 places that serve these exact wings...

Elephant & Castle,
18 Temple Bar Dublin 2
Dublin City
Tel: +353 (0)1 679 3121
- The original I think

Chatham Brasseerie
Chatham Street
Dublin 2
T: +353 1 6790055
- yet to go here, but am informed they definetely do them, and just looked at website, seems they do

&

Canal Bank Cafe
146 Upper Leeson st,
01 6642135
- been here, purfect

All three places have similar menus and I wouldn't be surprised if the same people were behind them all.

Also there used to be a cafe in Malahide down near the fancy boats that had a similar menu and sold them too, but it only lasted a short while before it became a new restaurant (name I now forget)...

So does anyone have any other venue to get these wings in?

Chatham Brasserie is, I think, run by Fitzers - not sure if you'd get them there as well?

I have a friend who's mad about the chicken wings in Elephant and Castle and also mad about the wings in Tribeca in Ranelagh. I've never been to Elephant and Castle though so can't say personally if they're similar.

They are very similar and equally tasty!

The Harbourmaster pub in the IFSC does similar wings too. Espresso Bar has them as a starter but you get a measly 4-6 which is completely useless!!

Big fan of the Chatham Brasserie ones - I think they're better than E&C.

Add Vinny Vanuchi's in Malahide to the list.

Maybe the demi-chef demi-god got let go from the fitzers and went here to create his wonderous delicacies.

his verona spaghetti meatball thing is also marvellous - it's out on the early-bird recipe

Luigi Malones do the best wings in Dublin imho; they serve them with an excellent blue cheese (I think) dip in massive portions, and they are seriously good.

Elephant and Castle are great. Their baby back ribs are also delicious.

I must try these wings sometime, I've been hearing about them for years. Are they really all that?
