Restaurant review: Daróg Wine Bar is serving two-star level dishes at bistro prices
Daróg wine bar opened late last year in what was once Tartare on Lower Dominick St in Galway’s West End.
Ireland is a hospitable place. Now it isn’t a competition of course, but despite having no connections there, I seem to feel most at home in the West of Ireland. It is as if the stars there are different, or that the air in Galway and Connemara adds a warm blanket to your soul.
Galway punches well above its weight in the restaurant stakes, as you know, and I have a new name to add to your list. Daróg wine bar opened late last year in what was once Tartare on Lower Dominick St in Galway’s West End. Zsolt Luckás and his wife Edel are the couple behind it, Edel working in restaurant design and marketing and Zsolt having been sommelier in nearby Aniar for several years. In the kitchen is Attilla Galambos who was sous-chef in Aniar and worked in stellar restaurants in France, Japan, and Denmark, and on the floor is the talented sommelier Iseult Gumbleton.
