Limerick: No shortage of choice and excellent customer service at popular Limerick restaurant
I HAVE to come clean. Hamptons is a difficult restaurant to review. Before visiting Limerick, I threw out a wide net for recommendations. I asked friends, colleagues, followers and foodies for city tips that were worth reviewing, and which haven’t already been reviewed for the Irish Examiner. That left a short list.
Limerick’s foodie scene has its flourishes. The Strand and Savoy hotels have raised their game by backing talented chefs, La Cucina goes from strength to strength, Love Gourmet Week is a fab idea, the Milk Market is legend and creative new ventures like Canteen nicely complement highlights like The French Table and Brasserie One. As a whole, however, the city still lags behind peers like Cork, Galway and Belfast.
