The Pig’s Ear serves exquisite
Irish fare with a welcome
modern flourish. Overlooking
the historic Trinity College’s
playing
grounds,
this
sophisticated yet unpretentious
restaurant rates high in all the
criteria one usually considers
when evaluating a restaurant.
Starting with the appearance
of the place, and one cannot
find fault in the three tastefully-
appointed, bright and spacious
dining rooms. To the food,
then. Well, suffice to say
The Pig’s Ear is more than
deserving of its Michelin Bib
Gourmand, an honour it has
retained since 2009. Starters
include Burren Smokery wild
mackerel, paired with potato
salad and horseradish-and-
walnut dressing, and ham
knuckle and pork terrine with
tarragon mayonnaise. There
are many mouth-watering main
courses, but the slow-cooked
Lough Erne shepherd’s pie
deserves a special mention,
as does the glazed pig belly
with Jane Russell’s black
pudding. Incidentally, The Pig’s
Ear is available for corporate
dining and party bookings,
accommodating up to 48
guests on the ground floor,
60 in the second-floor Mirror
Room or 10 on the upper-level
private dining room. Whether
you’re hosting a banquet or
enjoying a cosy meal-for-two,
The Pig’s Ear is a very good
choice indeed.
