Seeking Destination Restaurants in Ireland
Returning to Ireland after several years so I'm certain much has changed. I'm looking for restaurants that are considered , regardless of price, to be worth the trip for the sole purpose of dining there. I'm thinking of places like French Laundry in Yountville, CA ; Willows Inn on Lummi Island, WA and Fat Duck in Bray. Is Ballymaloe House still considered such a destination? Thank you so much for all your help
Advice re Seattle Meals
Tom, Thanks for the great advice. Nells looks terrific.
I'm from FL but spend significant time in NY so not looking for pizza. Actually I was thinking of Il Corvo Pasta on Western Ave for lunch but glad to know about Bar del Corso.
Does drinks & oysters at Walrus & followed by dinner at Staples next door sound worth doing.?
I love Salumi but unfortunately will not be able to get there this trip. I'm really disappointed.
Is Art of Table not as well thought of as it once was?
Finally, if it is only possible to do 1 farmers mkt do you recommend University or Ballard?
Thanks again

Advice re Seattle Meals
Will be in seattle the end of Oct and need some up to date advice. On previous visits I have loved and plan to return to Sitka & Spruce, Corson Bldg and Spinasse. That leaves 4 dinners & 5 lunches. Am considering: Cafe Juanita, Art of Table, Staple & Fancy, Walrus &, Book Bindery, Caffe Presse, Skillet, Corvo Pasta, Seabar and Local 360. Would love to hear worthy alternatives & suggestions to narrow/ eliminate any of these.
Also, if there is only time for 1 farmers mkt should I do Univ or Ballard. More interested in eating there as opposed to taking food home. Thank you in advance for all your help

ROME MUSHROOMS
Back in the 80s I was taken to a restaurant in Rome that served nothing but mushrooms. I can't remember the name or where it was.I think I remember a cave, but that may be my imagination. Does anyone know this place? I'll be in Rome next week and if its still around, I'd love to go back.
SUSTAINABLE/ FARM TO TABLE
Thanks, Of these three, bacchanalia, & the restaurants at serenbe- which are not to be missed
SUSTAINABLE/ FARM TO TABLE
Please advise of the best farm to table restaurants in the Atlanta area. Price is not a consideration just quality and taste. I prefer casual to "fine dining" pretentious but will go anywhere if the food warrants
Sitka & Spruce for lunch?
Can any advise how the lunch menu differs from dinner? This will be my first time there since the move. Thank you
