Irish Rhubarb Cheesecake Shortbread



The new kid on the block, Rudy’s of Blanchardstown Village is a must for all you foodies.  This deceivingly small restaurant sits on the main street and looks straight onto SuperValu where parking is always available. It’s a little on the expensive side so it’s one of those nice treats every once and a while. Portion sizes can be quite small depending on the dish you choose so my recommendation is get the starter too.

I know this next part might shock you but for dessert I went with the Cheesecake haha. It was Irish Rhubarb Cheesecake shortbread. I wasn’t sure what to expect and while ordering it the girl taking our order clarified that it wasn’t like a usual cheesecake so I was of course intrigued. 

The cheesecake was made up of five layers. A cream cheese filling on both the top and bottom and then another layer sandwiched between two shortbread biscuits. Again the portion size seemed small at first but it was just the right amount. It was decorated with a fruit sauce that gave the flavour a little kick. It was light and was the perfect ratio of cream and biscuit. This was a must try and I must try it again.

Be sure to ask if the cheesecake is still available before getting your heart set on it as like most places Rudy’s do change up their menu. With or without the cheesecake I’d still recommend a visit. You won’t be disappointed. 

Rudy’s open from 12pm each day and offer brunch, dinner and cocktails. They are currently offering a dining out experience with outdoor seating. So if you’d love to dine out and are finding options limited at the moment they have a heated terrace but spaces are limited so be sure to book so as not to be disappointed. 

            As always I’d love to hear if you have visited the recommended restaurants. Share your experiences in the comments below and post pictures by tagging my social media pages @cheesecaketravelsblog (instagram) & @cheesecaketravels (Facebook).
