Things I learned in Wicklow, Ireland 🇮🇪:

1) It's acceptable to drink 🍺 at any time of day.
2) Cider seems almost as popular as Guinness.
3) All lattes should be served with a snack 🍪.
4) The produce is fresher and the beef is just so much juicier.
5) They drink so much Guinness that pubs actually just keep pouring them 2/3rds before letting them sit. When you order, they fill it the rest of the way. Also, apparently the double pour is actually just a marketing ploy 🤫.
6) Head hike is steep but worth the trek for the gorgeous views ⛰️.
7-8) Bray is a cute little seaside town 🎪.
9) Chicken wings that haven't been pumped with steroids are actually quite tiny but full of flavour.

The legend goes that the a 'famous supermodel' asked British bartender Dick Bradsell to "Wake me up and f* me up" at a now closed brasserie in Soho ...And so the espresso martini was born.

In honour of being in the birthplace of espresso martinis for a few days, I've created a more in depth evaluation system:

Espresso Martini Criteria:
*listed in order of importance*

1. Balance of Flavours & Aroma

• Espresso: pulled fresh. Rich and smooth, with no bitterness.
• Vodka: Well-integrated, complementing the coffee. Present but not harsh.
• Sweetness: Balanced, not overpowering.

2. Mouthfeel and Texture

• Creaminess: Achieved through a proper shake, giving a smooth texture.
• Foam: Thick, with tight bubbles that create a silky foam.

3. Temperature

• Served cold, but not too icy, to preserve flavor.

4. Presentation

• Color: Ombré froth which settles to a deep, rich brown base.
• Garnish: Fresh, typically three coffee beans.
• Glassware: Well-chilled martini glass.

5. Innovation

• Creative twists that enhance the drink without overpowering the classic elements.

**PSA: these are based off of a singular, announced visit and are not a reflection of the food or service quality.

NEW SPOT ALERT:

The newest addition to Toronto’s financial district is truly unique, offering beer, pizza, and pho all on one menu. Just a few weeks old, this neon-lit beer hall is already buzzing with a lively after-work crowd. With a long list of beers, handcrafted cocktails, and large TVs at the end of the room, it’s a great spot to watch sports, and gather with friends or colleagues, all while enjoying delicious food. Don’t miss the sweet and spicy brisket kimchi pizza, refreshing tuna tartare, or handmade dumplings.

Week in review 📸:

1) Baby Gem Salad with Salmon @ RH Courtyard in - the salad is worth the hype and the vibes are perfect, but go for the $10 chicken on top. This $20 salmon was tasty but miniature for the price.
2) Stracciatella & Boquerones, Tomato Bread during - this was a life changing bite the first time I ever had it and it still never disappoints.
3) Italian Trio - my first time trying this popular spot, which was good but dare I say overhyped? Maybe I've just had too many NY/NJ Italian sandwiches recently... Either way, I'd like to go back to try another type of sandwich!
4) Breakfast with - literally everything on this table was perfection.
5) Burger & Fries - a really fantastic tavern style burger and fries. Excited to try the rest of the menu next time.
6) Strawberry eclairs - these were not made out of traditional stiff Choux pastry, they were flaky and fluffy and absolute perfection. I didn't get a good photo but the trout on cornbread waffles was 🔥 too.
7) The Egg Club .official - my first time trying this hyped breakfast sandwich and it did not disappoint. That Japanese milk bread just melts in your mouth.
8) Grand Opening of which was pretty in line with US.
9) Whipped Feta - the perfect sweet and salty snack.
10) Caesar Salad & Grilled Calamari - a cozy, simple neighborhood restaurant serving fresh seafood. The Chilean seabass was 👌🏼
