REVIEW: Johnnie Fox’s Pub, Glencullen

September 15, 2008

A trip from Dublin City to Glencullen Mountains is just great whenever, but it’s more spectacular when your car drives you to Johnnie Fox’s Pub (”The Highest Pub in Ireland“).

I must say that it was a windy & foggy evening when we arrived at Johnnie. Lucky me that I’m not a smoker:). So, after a few steps through different spaces in the pub, a “son” of Johnnie finnaly got a table for us, four hungry people.
A cold beer, a short look inside in the menu, the fireplace was warming up the room. Could have been better for the beginning?

Our table (4 adults):

Frog Legs (Succulent and very tasty, pan fried in garlic butter) - 11,95 euro

Swordfish Steak (A thick fillet of marinated prime swordfish branded and pan roasted) - 21,95 euro

Roasted Half Duck “Champagne” (Slow roasted tender boneless half duck in secret marinade, perfectly complimented with rich and velvety champagne and grape sauce, finished with a selection of vegetables & potatoes) - 21,95 euro
Pan Fried Tiger Prawns (Prepared in fresh garlic and basil butter served with seasonal fresh vegetables and potatoes) - 21,95 euro

Bonus: Great craic; definitely, you should go in the winter when it’s absolutely freezing outside, just to take advantage of the very nice fireplace.

ROMAN’S MARK: 9.20/10
