"Mimicking American diners of the 1950s, Irish retro-restaurant chain Eddie Rocket’s does dessert better than any of its rivals. Their chocolate brownies and cookie sliders are widely celebrated, but their milkshakes and malts made with premium dairy ice cream could qualify as desserts in and of themselves – the imaginative menu blends heavenly flavours like Kinder Bueno, Oreo cookie and Reese’s® Peanut Butter Cup."

"Sure it's a burger joint, but I think Eddie does a decent burger – and the milkshakes are the best in the land. Kids are king in this place, with colouring books, kids' menu and a gift on leaving. The menu is more of a treat, but the music and speed of service sometimes makes this the best choice."

Called Volpe Nera, which means 'black fox' (a nod to its location, halfway between Blackrock and Foxrock), the new eatery offers Mediterranean-influenced snacks, small plates, sharing platters in an informal 50-cover setting spread over two floors. "Since my first day being a chef, I had the dream to open my own place. I arrived in Ireland 17 years ago, and I started as a kitchen porter. Working at Etto was an amazing experience for me, and when we got the Restaurant of the Year in 2018, I realised, maybe I can do this!" Barry told us."

The name Volpe Nera is Italian for “black fox,” a play on the names of the two adjoining districts of Foxrock and Blackrock. Sun deftly combines big flavors and small touches in dishes like slow-cooked beef short rib with a slash of grated fresh horseradish and a buttery wedge of crisply fried polenta."
