There is something fishy going on in Goatsbridge

The Menu’s longheld grá for Limerick has been ever-more cemented in recent years as tiny pockets of culinary resistance have expanded to become an outright popular uprising. Fuelled by a recognition of some of the superb regional produce — on show in the city’s outstanding Milk Market — and a commitment to putting it on menus, 10 of the region’s top restaurants are coming together for a reprise of last year’s immensely successful Love Gourmet Week, Jun 1-10. Special LGW menus, €35 pp, will be available, along with wine deals and cocktail specials. Irish Rail has a special LGW price of €14.99 one way between Dublin and Limerick for the duration, but The Menu would happily walk. Mind you, he would require extensive feeding after such an ordeal. www.limerick.ie/lovegourmetweek/
