"Okay. Pin yer lug holes back. :-) Was there last Sunday (again).I've read all the French reviews. They usually describe it as "simple food". It is to them cos they all like to eat Duck 5 ways & taste the same dish in every resto everywhere they go. It has to be precisely the same as every other gaff. If not? They won't go back.Jonny Foreigner isn't like that. We love the spices & variety of our Lives!French folk expect to be snarled at by waiting-on staff who sell them usually very ordinary ruge for 34€ a bottle. Makes them feel like they're at home. :lol:This lovely informal gaff is not like that. Deep Joy! You've found a gem.It's AWESOME for foreigners (who want to enjoy a varied menu & great grub at the right price in a wonderful place and, unusually seek to engage with happy, smiley & attentive staff). Washed down by a glass of something hoppy. At around 6€ a pint ;-)Fish & Chips remains the best we've ever tasted in France (shame about the frozen frites). Duck Burger is equally good. No idea about anything else on the menu cos we haven't needed to try anything else! Portion sizes are huge. Take your own Malt Vinegar.Can't recommend l'Irlandais highly enough. One of very few gaffs in SW France which caters for their audience. Let's be right. We all know why we go to an Oirish Bar, don't we? You will not be disappointed.Big Tip: Do the Brocante in Limoges in Autumn (October is usually the best time in our experience). Not filled with Tourists. Not too busy (yet busy enough). Bar l'Irlandais sits bang in the centre of that action. Park on Bvd de la Corderie if you can (which is closed off to provide car parking specifically for this monthly event). Do a few stalls, have lunch there then do the rest of the stalls (and explore the medieval centre of Limoges cos it's lovely in many ways). Book a table for 12.30 & the sun will appear over the high medieval buildings at the perfect time. Been in this area for 14 yrs & happy to pass the info on. For the benefit of others who may not be as experienced.YOU MUST BOOK A TABLE on the phone before you go on a Brocante Sunday! It's okay. They won't pretend they didn't understand nor snap your head off cos you pronounced "réservation svp" incorrectly (like so many other gaffs in France will).Real place, real food, real staff and long may it continue to provide a varied diet for everyone. The Guinness is always good. Draught of course. In pints. How refreshing. :-)"
