Queen of Tarts in Dublin, Ireland

 

Queen of Tarts in Dublin is very touristy. However, please don’t let that stop you from going there because it is absolutely worth the stop. I only had two days in Dublin and I’m so glad that Queen of Tarts was one of the places I stopped to eat. http://www.queenoftarts.ie

Queen of Tarts is a small little place with seating upstairs, inside, and you can also sit outside. When I was there the place was packed so I had to wait a bit for a table but seriously, I may have waited 10 minutes.

While I was waiting for my table I had a good time looking at all the desserts and taking in all the lovely surroundings.

While sitting at my table of course I had to snap some pics of what was going on around me. Plus, isn’t it always nice to see what’s going on? (that’s just a nice way of saying I’m nosy.) As you can see, the restaurant was totally decked out with holiday decorations and normally I don’t like lots of stuff around everywhere but it looked great in this space.

When I sat down my plan was just to have dessert but then I started looking around and saw everyone eating and all of a sudden I was hungry. I ordered a red onion, potato, cheddar cheese & rosemary tart which was served with salad and a chutney sauce that added just the right touch of sweetness.

I normally drink coffee but it seemed fitting to have tea while I was here.

After I ate my delicious lunch I didn’t have any room for dessert, and since I was still walking around I couldn’t even take one home to share with my friends (where would I have kept it while walking around? See my dilemma?) I’m writing this a week after I was at Queen of Tarts and I’m still thinking about my meal. It was the perfect balance of flavor and I didn’t feel overly full when I was finished. If you travel to Dublin, please eat here, I really can’t imagine you would be disappointed.
