Delaney's Wanchai (已結業) 查看

There weren't many Irish pubs that are on my mind - Delaney's can be one of the several that I can barely name. It is always my choice when it comes to occasions with noisy people and watching soccer games. Reading from the Apple Daily News dated 9 July 2015 (Ref: http://hk.apple.nextmedia.com/news/art/20150709/19213706) that it will close down in August 2015 due to a new and more affordable bid by a new tenant, my colleagues suggested visiting this restaurant before its closure.

St. Patrick's Day 是什麼? 相信好多香港人，甚至是一些去過英國留學的香港人都未必會知道同留意這一個節日。在英國，也只是部份人及部份社區會熱鬧起來，因為這是鄰國《愛爾蘭》的傳統節日。日期是每年的3月17日，節日就顧名思義是記紀念一名叫《St. Patrick》的主教。他把基督教傳入愛爾蘭並把愛爾蘭建立起來，推動了整個愛爾蘭的文化發展。於是，後人就在他的逝世，3月17日，定為一個紀念日，漸漸地，St. Patrick's Day 成為了一個宣揚愛爾蘭文化的傳統節日，現時，如英國、美國、加拿大、澳洲、紐西蘭這一些有大量愛爾蘭移民的國家，3月17日，你會在特定的區域內，可以看見有人穿著綠色的衣服，在街跳傳統的愛爾蘭舞蹈。而在香港，St. Patrick's Day 又怎慶祝呢? 蘭桂坊可能有些活動但我並沒有去，但我作為一個喜歡愛爾蘭文化的偽英國人，點會唔知怎樣去尋找 St. Patrick's Day party。很簡單，在香港的各大愛爾蘭酒吧，就會於3月17日改頭換面，去慶祝這一個愛爾蘭傳統節日。晚上的 St. Patrick's Day party 我就因為要照顧家庭而不

Sometimes you can forget why you haven't eaten somewhere for a loong time – and then the food arrives and you remember why. As a drinking place there's nothing wrong with Delaney's apart from the uninterested service – but that's so common in many places you just accept, and don't bother to tip. After serving me my meal and drink the waitress never looked in my direction again. Even when clearing the plate and spying the empty glass there was no enquiry as to whether i'd like another drink or so

Decided to come here for traditional Sunday roast because I have not been here for ages.When I entered the bar, the carvery station had gone so I asked them if they were still doing it and they said the roast was served upstairs.Went upstairs and the restaurant was almost empty on a Friday lunchtime.Since my last visit, the roast has gone up from around $120 to $150 which is more expensive than having an expensive lunch in Central.The roast comes with a soup, salad and tea.★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★Sal

去完美食博覽，已經係10點，好多食肆早就關門了。正煩腦緊食D乜好,靈機一足，想起Delaney。其實我一直都想去試，今次係大好機會。地面嗰層多數係細bar枱，同埋已經坐滿人。結果，我哋上左去第二層。依層嘅枱係正常餐桌，方便食嘢。叫左iced ocean, homemade spring roll, roasted half chicken...etcIced ocean—令人有D失望，仲以為係有沙冰，原來只係一杯有淡果香的cocktail加冰Homemade spring roll—係餐廳推介，上枱時熱辣辣，但無乜特別。Roasted half chicken—好香Rosemary味，肉質嫩滑好入味又juicy。菲藉侍應好友善，服務周到。

Have not been here for ages so went again for English and Irish fare.The menu has finally changed and is slightly better but the prices have gone up.There were three that caught my eye and not previously there:WARM POTATO & BLACK PUDDING SALAD $98 (garden greens with warmed potatoes and fried black pudding)PAN FRIED COD FILLET WITH POTATO & LEEK GRÂTIN $175 (cod fillet served with grâtin potato and daily vegetables)ROASTED HALF CHICKEN $138 (chicken seasoned with fresh rosemary and garlic with s

Came here for lunch after visiting the TST one a week ago, still with memories of the Steak & Kidney pie (or pudding, depending on your version of the terminology) which I tasted - the pastry was 'choo' (which is Cantonese, means it's puffy, or succulent) and the filling had large chunks of meat in gravy.Well, enough about that and onto the lunch for which I came for. I ordered the roast beef / lamd, ie the carvery set lunch. Comes with a soup (with generous portions of bread rolls) or spring ro

Usually I come here for roast or order their daily lunch if it looks good.That day they had mushroom ravioli and mulligatawny soup which is not normally on the menu so I went in for it.++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++Mushoom ravioli with pesto cream sauceAlthough there were only about five raviolis on the plate it tasted delicious.The mushrooms inside were wild mushrooms and had a really nice strong taste.The sauce for the ravioli was really creamy and it there was pesto puree topped on top and to

As always you can always find your comfort roast right here!Usually at the carvery there is beef or lamb and nearer Christmas there is Turkey as well.However the stuffing is different to the stuffings served at other pubs.The stuffing here is not baked.For the greens, there is boiled spinach, pea and sprouts, and for the asian choice you will find shitaake mushrooms and sweetcorn.Before the roast there is a choice of salad or soup. I usually get the salad but sometimes the soup is also good such

Nice and sunny afternoon so I decided to take a stroll down to Delany's for some lunch. It's been a while since I've been here, but it's always the same good ole neighborhood pub. I really like it there, minus the incompetent staff. They're all in their own little worlds, milling about talking to each other but never paying attention to the customers.The reason why I come even though the service sucks is because the food here is good and flavorful. I ordered one of my favorites which is saus

When I sat down, we were allocated on the corner with the open windows, it felt like Al-fresco dining, there were some brown leaves on the table, so it reminded me of the song California Dreaming.~~~~~~~California Dreaming lyrics:all the leaves are brown, and the sky is greyI've been for a walk, on a winter's dayI'd be safe and warm. if I was in L.ACalifornia Dreamin' on such a winter's day ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Anyway back to the food, I ordered the ultimate fry up ju

和其他灣仔的酒吧一樣，Delaney午市亦會變身為一西餐廳。店內地方不算很大，但座位寬敞舒適。午市set-menu簡單，只有三數款選擇，價錢約九十元起。頭盤可選湯或沙律吧。同事選了是日餐湯(南瓜湯)，份量很大，聽聞口味不俗。小弟則選了自助沙律吧，約有十款配料左右，如雜錦生菜、鮮果沙律、薯仔沙律、車厘茄、芝士、雜豆、螺絲粉、吞拿魚等等，品質都令人滿意。吃畢沙律頭盤，便可到彼鄰的燒牛肉餐車點配主菜。一碟燒牛肉有三片，份量剛好。因烹煮時間久了一點，而致牛肉過熟了一點，肉汁也因而減少，幸好口感還在控制範圍之中，不會韌口，味道屬中價貨式。伴碟配菜方面，有約十款選擇，如粟米、青豆、紅蘿蔔、西蘭花、椰菜花、薯蓉、鮮菇等等。只是每款要少許，整碟主菜也會頓時變得很有份量。加上之前的沙律吧，整頓午餐亦能做到多菜少肉之效。餐後點選餐飲，可選特色咖啡如cappuccino，賣相不錯，泡末豐富，不過，咖啡本身味道較為淡薄，嗜咖啡濃香之士未必喜歡。

曾幾何時,灣仔Delaney's,是我們的主場.自從前季首循環敗於利物浦後,一別兩年多.再來的時候,已變成熱刺的主場.香港熱刺球迷會,將Delaney's打做成為白鹿徑附近的酒館.二樓酒館的佈置,掛滿熱刺的會旗,但酒館並非只播熱刺的賽事.這夜連同多位愛華頓球迷好友,再踏足二樓,一同靈魂出竅到奧脫福.十多人圍埋一張長檯,開波之前,整個二樓酒館差不多坐滿人,除了我們,其他的全是外國人.啤酒也是例牌的Kilkenny,在愛爾蘭酒館喝愛爾蘭啤,是理直氣壯的一回事,Kilkenny已喝了多次,啤酒泡香滑,酒身爽,充滿麥味的香,冰凍又順喉.因為是開早場之故,大家也未晚飯,便點些主菜吃,酒館所謂的pub food,一向不算是什麼美食,但也是有其特色,我單點了Irish Lamb stew燉羊肉,以整個麵包,將中心挖空,盛著燉羊肉,薯仔,蘿蔔.非常之豐富.羊肉做得軟淋得入口即化,帶有一點羊肉香味之外,而且亦有點點辣度.薯仔與蘿蔔更索盡所有的精華,很好吃.一個人獨享,實在吃不消,份量太大了.另外的朋友,點了些香腸,燒雞胸,旁邊的友人D兄的炸魚薯條,我不客氣拿一點分享,Delaney's的炸魚薯條水準向來

七月中旬‧天也在哭「KC，有時想問問。」「hh啦，灣仔的Delaney's」有東西要傾，不去hh，也不知還有什麼更好的選擇。七時多，趕到來，食友已經乖乖在等。在幾款生啤選擇中，要了Kilkenny，夠凍，喝起來順喉。麥香味濃，帶點甜味，特別是面頭的啤酒泡很幼滑，拉得很不錯。要傾的事，在預計的時間內完成，但酒吧的氣氛就像是凝住了的。雖然問題未解決，但應是暢快的分道揚鑣。hh多好！
