| - I just got home from having one of the most delicious meals I can remember...
I've always enjoyed the Dizzy, although they've gone through periods where they are better or worse, but if today's special was anything to judge by they are definitively on an upswing.
I have a feeling that it's going to become part of the regular menu, but just in case it isn't run to the Dizzy and order the braised lamb shanks with mashed potatoes and braised red cabbage.
Oh my lord, it was so tasty... The meat was like butter, falling off the bone, the sauce pungent and deep, the red cabbage was intense and appley (I know that's not a word) the mashed potatoes perfect and creamy... Delicious!
My brother had the Game and Tame burger which came with perfect herbed frites. The burger was charred on the outside and pink on the inside (just the way I like it) and arrives topped with a portobello mushroom head, bacon and cheddar cheese. Yes, it's decadent, but so good...
I love the booths here, they are very comfortable and big. The only downside to the Dizzy is that it's a sports bar. It stopped me from checking it for a long time, but I'm sure glad I found it. What a gem on the Roncesvalles strip.
The staff is always friendly and it has a casual atmosphere. I was so blown away by the meal that I requested a conversation with the chef who was more than happy to share all his tips on braising lamb and red cabbage, even going so far as to give me the name of the guy who supplies his meat. Very sweet.
