Pinch your nose and sip your w**e. Where did the flavour go? 👃🍷

Your tongue only picks up the basics: sweet, sour, salty, bitter and savoury. Most of what we call flavour actually happens in your nose. As you sip, aromas rise through the back of your throat, and that’s where the vanilla, the fruit and the spice come from.

So next time: swirl, smell, sip. Swirling releases the aromas, smelling gets them ready, and sipping lets them rise. Same w**e, more of it.

Try the nose test tonight and tell us what happened. 👇

This rib-eye spends 21 days doing nothing. That’s the whole point. 🥩

Hanging cold, in a controlled space, natural enzymes slowly break down the muscle fibres, so it gets properly tender. At the same time, water leaves the meat, so what’s left tastes of more beef.

Then it hits the Josper. Charcoal, full heat, and a proper crust.

Three weeks of patience, ten minutes of fire. 🔥

Galway’s most famous food is also one of the richest sources of zinc you can eat. 🦪

Zinc contributes to the normal function of the immune system, and oysters carry more of it than almost any other food. Ours come from Kelly Oysters in Kilcolgan, on Galway Bay, farmed by the same family for three generations. Enjoy as part of a varied, balanced diet.

Galway has celebrated oysters every September since 1954. We do it every night.

As we get older, we slowly lose muscle. It has a name: sarcopenia. 💪

The number one thing that fights it is strength training. But muscle also needs building material. Protein contributes to the maintenance of muscle mass. Experts suggest 25 to 30 g per meal for older adults, and our 9oz sirloin from the Josper covers that easily.

Train first, steak after. Once or twice a week is plenty, as part of a varied, balanced diet.

Where does red w**e get its colour? 🍷

Not from the juice. Almost every grape has clear juice, even the red ones. The colour comes from the skins, which soak in the fermenting w**e for days, sometimes weeks. That’s also where the grip you feel on your tongue comes from.

The proof: take the skins off straight away and you can make white w**e from red grapes. Thicker skins mean a deeper colour.

Next time you pour a glass, hold it up to the light. 👀

What’s in your glass tonight?

A capsule gives you one thing. A plate of salmon gives you the whole package. 🐟

Salmon is an oily fish, rich in EPA and DHA. EPA and DHA contribute to the normal function of the heart, with a daily intake of 250 mg. A 100 g portion has roughly 1 to 2 g, so one plate covers several days’ worth.

Irish guidelines say to eat oily fish up to twice a week, as part of a varied, balanced diet.

Ever noticed how good espresso tastes next to crème brûlée? There’s a reason. ☕

Roasting coffee and torching sugar both create deep caramel notes, so they already taste like they belong together. The bitterness of the espresso cuts through the cream, so every spoonful tastes like the first.

Is it a health food? No. It’s dessert.

Coffee first, or spoon first? 🍮

He said it himself: “I’m on fire too.” 🔥

We asked our head chef Joy Choudary what he loves cooking most at Martine’s. The ribeye, of course. Straight onto the Josper, charcoal roaring, flames everywhere.

This is what Quay Street tastes like tonight.

Our steak is different. Here’s exactly why. 🔥

Meet the Josper oven, one of the first in Ireland. It’s not a regular grill, it’s a sealed chamber that grills, roasts and smokes all at once. That’s why the outside gets this perfect char while the inside stays juicy.

Not grilled. Not roasted. Something in between, and it’s unbelievable.

This is the fire we cook with, every single day.
