Irish Times Food Month Tour - Part 4

Our next stop on this fabulous tour was Bar Giuseppe, the latest venture from Joe Macken of Jo Burger, Crackbird and Hey Donna. Joe gave us a great welcome as we headed up to the intimate bar venue. He has developed his business over the years based on current trends. This month he has fondu evenings on Monday and Tuesday nights in the small area above Jo Burger in Castle Market, using this to showcase some Irish producers. To accompany this you can choose from a selection of biodynamic wines, which I am a big fan of! We had a lovely glass of Beaujolais- Villages, while tasting some rare beef and discussing food trends

Joe sees a trend towards natural wines, sharing platters and veggie food in 2019. He raised the interesting question of why we aren't focusing on growing more vegetables and pulses in this country. If you are looking for a late night bar in D2, then I think you would really enjoy a visit to Bar Giuseppe, open late!
