On a recent sojourn around the streets of Phibsboro the Savvy Shopper was invited to sample the delights of the Woodstock Cafe.
Although our original intention was to sample some hearty, well sourced and well priced food, what was also discovered is that said establishment is also responsible for making what could well be the best Christmas Pudding TSS has ever tasted.
As is so often the case, what started out as a five minute chat turned into an orgy of Christmas Pudding appreciation and having discovered that you can’t buy these handmade puddings online, TSS finally plucked up enough Christmas courage to ask for some for our readers.
So, each week until Christmas TSS will be giving away a handmade Woodstock Cafe pudding and as always, all you need to do is leave a comment here to win one for yourself !
We like Sundays at TSS. We make a pot of coffee to go with the Sunday papers and only when we are completely ready, TSS goes back to bed. What we never ever, ever do on Sundays … is rush.
Thinking it time we ran a competition that was as slow as our perfect Sunday, by chance we bumped into the folks at the King Sitric Restaurant who are kindly offering a perfectly relaxed Sunday Lunch on them.
As befits a competition of such easy disposition, there isn’t really a massive rush to enter and a gentle comment left right about here might see you and your guest meandering in the direction of Howth Pier to sample the delights of King Sitric’s award winning menu.
Naturally, we could talk all day about roast wild pheasant with game chips, Roaring Water Bay mussels or chocolate brulee with shortcrust biscuit ( all washed down with a bottle of reserve wine ), but if you are really curious about trying King Sitric’s Sunday offerings, you can see the full menu right here.
Good luck !
The fabulously sounding King Sitric Hotel in Howth are running a great value dinner menu at the moment.
As you might have expected from an award winning restaurant on the edge of the sea, the menu is loaded with delicacies and the seafood arrives fresh as can be from their very own boats.
Choose from starters of Galway Rock Oysters, Connemara air dried meats or Roast Irish Quail and throw in mains which include venison steak, fresh sea trout or duck and get ready for a serious bout of belt loosening before the desserts arrive.
Prices start from €28 for 2 courses and the offer is available all evening from Wednesday to Saturday and all day on Sundays.
For more information phone 01 832 5235 or visit the website.

Marco Pierre White’s Steakhouse & Grill on Dawson street is currently running a rather tempting 2 course menu for just €18.95!

The offer is available from 12pm until 6.45pm Monday to Friday and from 12pm until 4pm on Saturdays and Sundays but be quick as this menu won’t be available during December!
For more information phone 01 6771155 or visit the website.
Comments are now closed – more competitions coming soon …
ROLL UP … ROLL UP … it’s competition time at TSS.
By way of thanks for featuring the latest Early Bird deals sometime last week, the generous folks at Cruzzo in Malahide have been in touch to say they would like to invite one SavvyShopper and a guest of their choice for a rather delicious meal courtesy of them.
The lucky winner will enjoy a choice glass of Prosecco on arrival, wine at their table and three delicious courses of fine cuisine, all while soaking up the views of the Marina and the calming crystal blue waters beyond.
To enter simply leave a comment here and the winner will be plucked from relative obscurity for a night of culinary opulence that will surely not be forgotten in a hurry.
In the somewhat unlikely event that our virtual hat doesn’t fall in your favour this time, you can dream of what might have been by staring longingly at Cruzzo’s creations on their food gallery right here.
… we’ve been … we love the place … good luck !
If TheSavvyShopper had a free Wednesday and a friend to share it with, then it is pretty much a certainty we would be heading off to Bellinter House in Co Meath.
Not only do you get to sample the elegant environs of this fantastically chic country house hotel built in the Palladian style, gorge yourself on goodies like roasted breast of quail with figs and warm honey and wild mushroom and spinach tart tatin served with parmesan and rocket, but you also get to bed down on soft cotton sheets for a night of blissful sleep.
The Wine & Dine Wednesday package includes 1 nights B&B, dinner for two and a bottle of wine for €95pps, for more information call Bellinter House on 046 9030900 or visit the website.

€19.95 will get you two courses and a glass of wine and options include everything from braised beef and organic chicken to ray wing and Irish veal liver.

Available from 6pm to 8pm Tuesday to Thursday and from 6pm to 7pm Friday & Saturday.
You can find Cruzzo in the Marina Village, Malahide, Co. Dublin.

May we suggest One Pico?
€26 will get you two courses of sumptuous cuisine and the varied menu will ensure there should be something to suit all tastes.
For our part, holed up as we are in Savvy Towers, we have spent our morning drooling over the sound of pan Seared Mackerel or the smoky aromas of 28 day aged Rib Eye Beef.
On the downside the window is short (5:45 to 6:45 from Mon-Wed), on the upside the food is to die for !!

Roll up..roll up…it’s competition time on TSS and as regular visitors to these hallowed pages might by now know, TheSavvyShopper is quite partial to the occasional lunch at itsa Bagel.
Thinking we hadn’t heard from them in a while and noticing that the newest addition to the itsa Bagel clan is a rather family friendly branch in Malahide, by some uncanny coincidence they called us last week to ask if we’d like to run a competition which might help get the word out on the new store.
Naturally we said we would be happy to help and we agreed that if we offered one lucky winner and 3 friends the chance to win a rather large yet COMPLETELY FREE lunch, that would be a very good start.
So, as you all know by now all you have to do for you and the gang to win a bagel of choice, a hot beverage, a homemade gourmet soup, a homemade cake and a fresh smoothie to go home with, is to put your name in our virtual hat and leave a comment here.
The final point we’d like to make is that although the competition is really a way of announcing the new Malahide store, we realise that not all of you live nearby and as such you can redeem your prize in any of the 5 itsa Bagel branches.
Oh and in the unlikely event your name isn’t picked you can check out the latest lunch deals from itsa here.
Good luck to all and we’ll draw the winner next week !
***And the winner is Sinead Cryan – more competitions coming soon! ***

Just as we were finishing the happy task of picking a winning name from our virtual hat for a free stay at the Beacon Hotel, the fab folks at Dublin’s Diep Le Shaker got in touch with us to ask the following ….
“Do readers of TheSavvyShopper like Diep Le Shaker, with its sumptuous Evening Value Menu featuring the epicurean delights of tiger prawns cooked in a light tempura batter, Royal Thai style braised Irish lamb with peanuts or even slow roasted duck leg with coconut and sweet basil ?”
… and before we could say YES, they got straight to the point …
“Do readers of TheSavvyShopper like free Diep Le Shaker ?”
Needless to say we didn’t spend time mulling over the question – leave a comment here to win dinner for two and in the unlikely event your name isn’t picked you can check out the Diep Le Shaker Evening Value Menu here.
