Whether your Easter bunny prefers the kids’ menu or even a 12-course Michelin Star tasting treat, these options in Galway and Dublin are perfect for midterm …
Free Michelin Menu, Aniar, Co Galway
Award-winning chef JP McMahon – an advocate for educating young people and children about making better food choices – has launched a free initative to encourage young diners to discover something extraordinary: a Michelin star experience. In an effort to start young people’s culinary journey early, throughout April and May all young diners (aged 7-15 years) can enjoy a specially curated 12-course Michelin tasting menu for free when eating with an accompanying adult. What a way to broaden your kids’ palette … while parents can’t complain either!
“I hope that by exposing young diners to new flavours, they might be as enthused about Irish food as people are about other cuisines,” says JP. Book in advance to enjoy this exciting new experience; www.aniarrestaurant.ie @mistereatgalway
Brew Dog, Grand Canal Dock, Co Dublin
Kids eat free this April at Brewdog from the kids’ menu, whether it’s their favourite chicken and chips to deliciously cheesy mac ’n’ cheese or even building their own pizza. A trip to the Docklands is an outing for all the family, with a playground outside to burn off some energy before eating! Don’t miss the DJ Dance party on April 20 with games, goodie bags and ice cream included. If you’re looking for Easter activities in the city, it’s guaranteed to be a fun day out.
