Back to The Irish, I thank the staff hugely for their hospitality. The chance meetings and stories of how each one came to work there warmed me. From a simple chat, some had even flown from afar for the job and found themselves remaining long-term. The food and drinks were so delicious and creatively presented, Merci Cedric the bartender and chef Ronan! The concept of The Irish is very unique. By day, the restaurant and pub aspect take centre stage. I enjoyed a lovely meal with an exceptionally calm atmosphere and Irish folk music streaming through. By night on a Friday & Saturday, the party vibe oozes in completely shifting the tone and audience range. I was thrilled to be able to see incredible live performances from Fabien Cornelius & Days Order on the outside deck as well as another amazing band fronted by a lead female of which I unfortunately did not catch the name of. Mauritian Jazz singer Fabien Cornelius is well known for being a candidate on The Voice France in 2015. At just 17 years old, he did very well on the show and made it through to the Battles. To celebrate the Mauritius Independence, The Irish brought his talent to the stage and says that his audience are transported to a "sweet delirium" in his presence. I loved his soulful voice alongside the brilliant Days Order band. Commencing with covers of more well known songs in the early evening, the bands then turn up the tempo and get more creative with their expressions. By the late night, resident DJ Fabrice takes to the decks and we dance the night away to vibrant club music.
