Seeing ‘Patrick Hanlon & Russell Alford’ as ‘restaurant critics’ in a national newspaper is still surreal. Since late 2022 we’ve been the restaurant critics for the Sunday Times Ireland (a once-weekly Irish edition of the UK-based paper, not a Sunday version of The Irish Times –– a totally different publication where our critic counterpart is Corinna Hardgrave) and the dust has still not settled and we’re constantly pinching ourselves we get to call this our job and write restaurant reviews in the Sunday Times weekly.

We share each piece on social media as it comes out in each Sunday edition but we thought it appropriate to list every single restaurant review in one neat place so here it is on GastroGays.com –– every review so far, in order, in a big ol’ hyperlink listicle.
