The Pig & Heifer Tapas

First time there last night. Do not understand why Gazpacho was «the only item not available» but other than that, the food was superb. Argentinian steak (rare) with fried egg and rocket salad along with bruschetta. The Argentinian waitress could not have been more accommodating and professional and I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone. Prices are excellent too. Well done and continued success

Spanish Tapas restaurant with offers the usual affair of tapas with their menu split between starters, vegetarian, salad, meat, seafood. All reasonably priced and portions are very typical, as a dinner, myself and the hubby opted for 5 dishes in totally and it was plenty.
On arriving, we were the only ones in the restaurant which kinda nerves ye but within 10 mins the restaurant was bustling with many of the tables filled. For me, as a small restaurant they could do a lot more to create an authentic Spanish experience where as the décor and serving dishes were all pretty bland, ok, I hear ye saying, fussy Shazzer but I just sensed the food was well thought out but the décor was bare minimum… Just my opinion of course.
So how did the food rate:
Bruschetta — 4 stars, bread was warm yet topping very chilled could do with bringing the temp more together
Potato Bravas — 4 stars, really good although would suggest a little more sauce plus some crunchy unwelcome potatoes
Fried Quid — 2 stars, disappointing, calamari done well is great. This was very chewy and not pleasant but marks for the aioli, yum!
Meatballs — 5 stars, beat dish for me. Popped with flavour and the bread serving was perfect to scoop up remaining meaty sauce! Top marks!
Chicken Paella — 4 stars, great dish. Loved the blend of ingredients. I’d love a tad more seasoning although my hubby disagreed.
Great little place, it’s not exactly in the hub of Dun Laoghaire although a little stretch of the legs never hurt nobody!
