With all this week's exclusive offers we have teamed up with Dylan McGrath, and his newest restaurant in the heart of Dublin City - Taste at Rustic. A new food experience by Dylan McGrath, which invites you to explore the idea of flavour, with influences from Japan, Spain and South America.
With this offer, for only €79 - you can enjoy a 3-course meal for two people from the Early Taste menu with a bottle of house wine.
‘’It’s no secret I’ve always enjoyed the idea of a challenge: to look at the five tastes that we as chefs try to understand and then lay them out in a menu and make them as enjoyable for the customers to experience as it is for us to create. In running with this idea, I’ve been heavily influenced by Japan, Spain and South America. I love the flavour release of some these cooking techniques. I find something special in the use of their immediate, quick heat and I hope you do too.’’
