    Hi

    Have American and British visitors over soon and they have been informed about these 2 restaurants. Never been to either and only heard of Fade Street. Has anyone eaten in either of them and what are your views, would you recommend it?

    Cheers

    Was in Fade Street for the first time over the weekend. It was very good. Staff were very knowledgeable about the product and it was pretty quick service for the size and amount of customers they have. I did notice in the way in that not all seating are chairs, but some odd leather covered benches, just so you know. If your Americans are fond of steak, there is a blackboard on the wall which lists the various cuts of meat, the weight in grams and the price. For example, there was a tomahawk cut that weighed over 1000 grams and was costing €119 - aimed at feeding at least 4 people I was told.

    The menu is divided into different sections, such as braised dishes and flatbread based dished. I had braised rabbit, which was good but very small. Even though it was pretty much a full house when I was there, the noise wasn't overwhelming cos of the high ceilings, so you will be able to hear each other reasonably well.
    That's all I can think of. Can't tell you about the cost since I didn't pay.

    I wouldn't describe it as pretentious. I've eaten in there a few times - always enjoyed it.

    Same as. There was a wide mix of people there and quite a good buzz going on up stairs in the bar. Let us know how you get on.
