Early Birds

The other day I went with Caz to Cafe Paradiso at around 5:45 which I thought was quite early for dinner. I wanted to go as I wanted to see how the restaurant was made up again after the floods earlier this year.

Putting the interior aside (it looks still lovely), I was more enticed by the early bird offer. 2 courses for €24 or 3 for €30. Considering that a normal main course is already €24 on its own, I was deadly impressed. The portions were the same as the late dinner and of course all tasted yummy. Had the Jerusalem Artichoke Soup and Beetroot Risotto.

Anyhow this got me thinking (first of all, still with no job I am always looking for bargains) which other restaurants are out there who offer such a great deal......and will you believe it, I found a website called earlybirds.ie . At the moment it only covers Dublin and Cork (but since I live in Cork, I am not really bothered) and it is not complete but it gives you the price, number of courses and the opening hours. Thanks for the guys who put in the work to publish this great site.
