Restaurant review: Clanbrassil House - Dublin

“Yeah, well, that’s just like your opinion, man,” drawled The Dude (as played by Jeff Bridges) in The Big Lebowski – the classic Coen Brothers film from 1998.

This is The Engineer’s favourite film (along with Bladerunner) and she is a frequent guest on my restaurant reviews — not just for convenience, but because I value her opinion.

Her strong opinions occasionally baffle me and I admit to being mystified by her dislike of chenin-blanc but she does know her food, so as you read on do consider that she may be right and that I could well be wrong.
