The Duke of Duckworth
Stowed away at the juxtapose of Duckworth Street and McMurdo's Lane, The Duke of Duckworth is a famous haunt, and I knew not how famous until I read rave reviews about its fish and chips and its exclusive use in the local show, Republic of Doyle.
Fame apart, the Fish and Chips lived up to its hype, the fish almost melting in your mouth. We also tried honey garlic wings, which was done pretty well too. Didn't get to try the booze, will update once we go back!
Prices are on the higher side though, buoyed by the hype, I believe?
The atmosphere is quaint and refined, like polished old wood. Retro music plays in phases and completes the vibe. There's a few slot machines and a billiard board around. When we went at afternoon, the place wasn't crowded at all.
They always have some specials on offer, up on display right where you enter from. Service is prompt and good, albeit due to the low occupancy, I believe. The waiter made us a fair recommendation about what to try at the Duke's, since we went there for the first time.
Will go again!

Soul Cafe
Nice, quaint place. Not much to talk about ambience or decor, but the interiors go easy on the eye and look nice. The place is good for a quick bite and quick chat - prices seem reasonable, compared to the pricehounds in the region. Food ranges from okay-ish to good. We tried a chicken pizza and a chicken pasta in mixed sauce, both of which were good, but not anything remarkable. By the way, you can sit outside on a little lawn too.
