Today I decided to find about Dublin food, but through a local/organic/hippee pair of eyes! Because my hotel does not offer Breakfast I went out for my favorite meal of the day! I found really good reviews for this small diner place called Honest to Goodness. I thought I would try it because it was right next door to a market, and it prides itself on fresh, local and homemade food. I ordered the homemade granola with greek yogurt and fresh fruit. Although the portions were skimpy, the granola was delicious and naturally sweetened with honey and no extra sugar. I also had a juice (kiwi, pineapple, and banana) it was delicious as well! Although the kiwi gave it a slight bite to overact the sweetness of the pineapple.
Then after some shopping and sightseeing I decided on a vegan and wholefoods place for lunch that was my other option for breakfast that morning. I walked in and it smelled delicious! I ordered the winter root vegetables, lentils and squash soup puree with a sun dried tomato slice of bread to dip. After ordering, collecting my food and sitting down in the cafeteria style restaurant, I people watched for quite some time before heading back out into the rain. The bread though was amazing, and I'm not quite sure how they did it - it was orange/red throughout and did not have the tomato in small bits, so I'm wondering if it was more of a paste than actual bits.
Finally after sitting in a cafe for a while knitting, some more shopping and walking around I decided to find dinner. I was walking along small streets by the Trinity College, and found this small restaurant called The Fresh Farm. It boasted organic and local foods - so I decided to stick with the theme for the day. I had another soup before dinner with a carrot and winter squash soup that came with small scones to dip in. I much preferred the bread from the previous soup as compared to the small scones (they were too buttery in comparison to the healthy tasting soup). Then for dinner I ordered a chicken pie. This was local, free-range chicken and it tasted wonderful! The sauce was a bit too creamy for my taste, but the whole fresh vegetables that were buried under the puff pastry was delicious! This was of course way too much food for me and I waddled back to the hotel very slowly taking in the rain and the falling night.
Peace, Love, and Rabbit Food!
