Had drinks and picked at starters with the lovely and talented Laura Bergerol last week at Irish House. Always a fun time!
The Irish House isn't just your average Irish Pub; the food goes way beyond that. Check some of it out below the squiggle.
These are "Cornmeal Crusted Barbequed Oysters with firecracker coleslaw" - the coleslaw isn't so "firecracker," but who cares? The oysters are wonderful.
"Irish cheese platter Trio of cheese with toasted soda bread, cornichons and berry compote." This lovely combination of cheeses didn't stick around long.
"Truffled Chicken, Wild Mushroom, Smoked Gouda and Cilantro Tart drizzled with truffle oil." This is cheesey and wicked. The chicken, 'shrooms, and cheese come together. It's comfort food you just can't make easily at home.
Naturally, no trip to Irish House NOLA would be complete without multiple pints of Murphys!
While this wasn't a full meal, it's worth reporting on Irish House. Chef Matt describes his place as a "Gastropub," and that's quite accurate. Whether you treat Irish House as a restaurant, or as a pub, either way you get wonderful food and drinks.
