Dinner at Bates Rathdrum May Bank Holiday Weekend

What can we say guys? Bates restaurant in Rathdrum got the thumbs up again not only from us humans but from Skippy The Dog too!

The holiday weekend proved an ideal chance to enjoy some of Wicklows finest restaurants and bates restaurant is surely one of these! Myself and a friend headed up to bates on Saturday night to find the restaurant buzzing with a fun atmosphere pervading throughout.

We were welcomed by Alvaro and seated at a  comfortable table with the usual niceties of breads, dips and water to settle us in. ( I ADORE their olive tapenade!!). My friend is a vegetarian and found a good choice of meals to choose from , selecting the gnocchi whilst yours truly elected for the seasonal Lamb.

The whole meal was deliciously cooked by the wonderful Marino and there were small groups, couples, birthday party people and businessmen all enjoying the night.

We later chilled out outside in the cute and pretty cobblestoned lane then headed back home full of yummy food and with a special doggy bag for mr skippy. Needless to say he wolfed it up and says cheers to bates and hopes to see y’all again soon.
