Bizarre Meal Finale – The Irish Times Review
HearS a breakdown of the text provided, focusing on the restaurant review aspects:
Restaurant: The Queens (in Dalkey, Ireland)
Photographer: Nick Bradshaw
Food Described:
* Chips: Skinny, hot, served in a seperate bowl.
* Salad: Small, colorful (leaves, diced tomato, dressing).
* Main Course: Described as a “classic, well-executed plate.” (Specific dish not detailed)
* Peach and Coconut Panna Cotta (€9): A very unusual and negatively reviewed dessert.
* Presentation: Pink syrup ring, white disc, diced peaches, sorbet quenelle.
* Texture: coconut “panna cotta” is a solid slab like fondant icing – no wobble or creaminess, just sugary.
* Overall Impression: described as “bizarre” and “absurd.”
Overall Impression (based on this excerpt):
The restaurant seems to be generally good, with well-executed classic dishes. However, the dessert was a significant disappointment.
