DUBLINER

There is music along the river

For love wanders there.

James Joyce, Chamber music

Those who are fond of Irish culture will be immediately drawn by the name of this fancy restaurant and they will not be disappointed. It is a place of luxury and good taste located in the Central City Mall, or popularly known as GTC alongside the river Vardar, next to the coffee-bar Marquee. At the entrance door you will be welcomed by a funny porcelain crocodile that holds the restaurant menu. The music is soft and relaxing allowing the guests to sustain a pleasant conversation, and occasionally the restaurant offers live music. The personnel are kind and efficient while the menu offers a rich diversity of both dishes and drinks. For full experience of this place, you must bring your appetite with you.

There are various salads and starters on the menu that will not only please your palate but they will also, since the amount is quite substantial, satiate you considerably unless you decide to share them. You can choose a fresh salad, which in Macedonia is generally absolutely worth the price, a delicious Caesarea salad with either chicken or tuna and seafood, as well as some Irish salads, such as the vegetal salad and the old-fashioned Irish salad. The starters, on the other hand, offer different kinds of cheese, among which, Roquefort blue cheese, Camambert cheese, Parmigiano, Mozzarella, roast white cheese, or you can go for the lovely blooming onion, which we warmly recommend. If you are a group, we would like to suggest ordering a board with prosciutto, salami, and cheese. The prices of the salads range from 3.5 to 6 Euros, whereas those of the starters go from 3 to 6.5 Euros per dish.

If you prefer rice, you can either opt for the tasty, light risotto vegetable mix, or risotto with chicken in either red or white curry. There is also a gamut of extra delicious meat that will definitely satisfy the protein-lovers. We would especially like to recommend medallions with wild mushrooms, which are absolutely delicious, and in their flavor can compete with other famous international restaurants. Apart from the medallions, you can also try the beefsteak in Guinness, which is beautifully made and garnished. The cooks use numerous kinds of spices that enrich the dish with a most memorable taste. Naturally the prices are somewhat higher here, varying from 6.5 to 15 Euros per dish. If you still have a stomach for dessert, you will be faced with a difficult choice since their list of desserts is truly mouth-watering.

This Irish restaurant has an unusually long list of beverages, catering for different tastes, ranging from sparkling water to champagne.

Our finishing remark on this restaurant would be that although the prices are somewhat higher to those of other restaurants, the service, the food, the atmosphere, the music, all make it worth the money. So enjoy your meal, visitors!
