GINgle Bells afternoon tea at the g just in time for Christmas

Thu, Dec 07, 2017

As a special addition to the already fabulous afternoon tea, the festive team at the g Hotel are putting a ‘g’ in ‘GINgle Bells’ with a new gin afternoon tea, partnered with Galway Gin. Aptly called the GINgle Bells afternoon tea, it is available daily from 12 noon to 6pm at €59 for two guests.

This added enhancement to much loved afternoon tea at the g introduces guests to one of the newest Irish gins to hit the market. Galway Gin is a sleek addition to the heady array already available and in keeping with its name, the main botanical is dilisk seaweed harvested from Galway Bay. The dilisk is combined with zesty lemon, warming cardamom, and sweet touches of clover and meadowsweet, making Galway Gin exceedingly refreshing. It is best served with Fever tree premium tonic and freshly sliced lemon.

Brasserie on the Corner, standing the test of time

Thu, Nov 23, 2017

It is hard to believe that Brasserie on the Corner has been around for as long as it has. It seems like only yesterday that the team were putting the finishing touches to it, yet that was way back in July 2012, and it has been going from strength to strength ever since. Opened on a disused corner of Eglinton Street, The Brasserie brought life back to this slightly down-at-heel area. It benefits by being run by the same people that have the popular Dáil Bar, The Front Door, and Tom Sheridan’s in Knocknacarra, a professional team that do not tend to miss a trick, and from being under the watchful eye of Eimear Killian, one of the best general managers in the business.

Christmas entertaining

Thu, Nov 16, 2017

As the Christmas holiday season approaches, we often have guests calling to visit and it can be hard to think of healthy recipe alternatives to offer. Mince pies are always a crowd pleaser but the store-bought options generally come loaded with butter, sugar, and fat. Preparing your own healthier alternative is easier to do than you may think. These gluten free mince pies store well in an air tight container too, meaning you will always be ready for unexpected guests to arrive.
