Restaurant review: Roberta’s, Temple Bar, Dublin 2

The idea of a ‘restaurant’ has changed a lot since the word was first coined in post-revolutionary France. 

We rarely eat out just to be ‘restored’ these days, we expect entertainment, glamour, theatre — and given that this all happens in public, we too are part of the exhibit.

No I don’t really believe that, but I suspect it is the kind of thinking behind restaurants like Roberta’s, the new shiny bare-brick, high-ceilinged bar/restaurant from Press Up Entertainment Group.
