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.
Omakase is a Japanese phrase that literally means 'I’ll leave it to you.' The Omakase menus are chosen to give you the full experience of Taste at Rustic.
For €149 treat yourself and your partner to an incredible dining experience. Start the night with two glasses of champagne on arrival, dine from a five-course Omakase menu, a bottle of house wine and two cocktails in the Bonsai Bar before or after your meal.
‘’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.’’
