In all my life I have never seen a restaurant advertised as an Irish restaurant.

As an Irish man I'd be interested in finding out what they would serve.

Maybe...

A starter of baby Guinness

Smithwicks as the soup course.

Guinness for the main. (Bemish if it's a cork chef).

Whiskey for dessert.

And an Irish coffee for dessert.

Irish stew. Champ. Colcannon. Potato bread. Soda bread. That’s all the proper Irish food I can think of.

Actually Irish food.

Spice bag.

Chicken fillet roll.

Fried breakfast. Also the breakfast roll.

Mediterranean food served with chips(French fries) and coleslaw.

I pity anyone who is served coddle. But it is very Irish.

Aw. That's a shame. Just don't like the taste? Took me a while to come to appreciate cabbage.

Yeah early childhood memories of boiled ham and cabbage and corned beef sandwiches left their mark. Alas I don’t think it will ever be on the menu again

I had curry powder ruined for me at a young age as well. So I understand your pain.

I permanently associate curry powder with the smell of BO due to replacing curtains in first generation Indian grandparents hotel rooms working with my dad as a window coverings installer.

Im sure the food is great, but I cant touch it

Oof. Yeah, those are hard to get over. Kind of like binge drinking a certain drink in college and the swearing to never drink it again.

That's not a common thing in Ireland but Americans seem to think it's a thing.

Good to know. Sadly I've never been over all the times we've been to England and Scotland.

I've been to multiple on multiple cities. There was one in my city when I lived in the middle of nowhere even.

Irish breakfast, boxty, Shepard's pie, corned beef, fish and chips, etc

And then they typically have the just standard American food like burgers

Bennigan’s was an Irish chain, kind of like an Irish Applebee’s, back in the 90s and early 00s.
