It was the day of the cyclone bomb, the weather was dreadful but that wasn't going to stop us having lunch at Doyles. The food was fabulous and I highly recommend the seafood chowder.

We celebrated a farewell dinner and booked last minute. Luckily got a nice table. The service was very friendly and attentive, the food was delicious (the octopus is to die for and the steak cooked to perfection). We‘ll be back soon!
