Irish food is one of my favorite cuisines, and not just because I’m covered in freckles. It’s especially good when accompanied by a nice beverage, and at Rí Rá Irish Pub in The Shoppes at Mandalay Place, you can get all the traditional food you crave, and all the beer and cider, too. You can even ask for an Irish coffee flight, and that’s sure to lead to a fun time.
Start your meal with potato cakes—yummy fried mashed potato patties combined with cheddar cheese, green onion and sour cream. They’re drizzled with balsamic vinegar here, not exactly like mom made, but darned close.
There’s also a take on Scotch eggs, with sausage molded to boiled egg, which is filled with a deviled egg mousse. Sausage rolls, chicken wings and baked goat cheese will get you ready for the main course.
There are plenty of salads, but for a bit heartier meal, opt for beef and Guinness stew, Irish chicken curry or fish and chips, with lager-beer battered Icelandic haddock and optional mushy peas. An Irish breakfast is served all day, with eggs, bangers, rashers, toast, tomato, mushrooms, and black and white pudding. It’ll keep you fueled day and night. Speaking of breakfast, try the boxty stuffed with banger, red pepper and eggs—worth getting up early for.
