    Last time I was in Eden I thought I heard a waiter mention to a couple about this braised pork dish that you had to order two days in advance. Anyway I forgot to ask about it, does anybody know what the deal is with this, how tasty is it, expensive, for multiple people ?

    Also are there any other restaurants that do this ? I would love to try this dish so much. Any places in particular that are known for it ?


    And since I am here, are there any other famous dishes from Dublin restaurants that you have to order a week in advance that are delicious ?

    I don't know what Eden do with their pork, but certain cuts of pork that have been roasted, then allowed to cool overnight, then roasted again - it makes the meat extremely tender. Like melt in your mouth tender. And the crackling will be perfect, with no messing around with kettles of hot water or rubbing with salt required.

    That would require a bit of notice, but the meat turns out really, really well.

    I don't know much about Eden, but I know that Oscar Lai mentioned that his restaurant requires that you give notice if you want one of his pork dishes. (Eden isn't his restaurant, is it?)

    He's in charge of Sixty6 as far as I know. Haven't been there in a while, will definitely order that if I return. I wonder if their other place Quarterbar House and Grill does this dish as well, chances are I will be going there sooner or later, will have to ask when we ring up.

    Do you have any idea on a cost and how nice this dish is ? If you know of any other similar dishes that require you order it a few days in advance, please do let me know :)

    Thanks for all the help so far

    Ooh scratch that. Just had a look at Sixty6's website. They do a roast suckling pig that has to be ordered 7 days in advance for 8 or more people to share! Probably not what you are looking for!

    Edit: It's also 345 euro!

    That sounds tasty mmmm

    If I could get 7/8 people to all agree to that(so unlikely), I would order it in a heartbeat. Thinking more of for 1 person if possible, if not 2/3 max really


    Had a look at the Eden restaurant online to no avail, going to check a few more
