Trax Brasserie

A charming old world setting, good food cooked simply with flair, smart service and good value all provide good reasons to return
D Wed-Sat 5pm-10pm, Sun 4pm-7.45pm. L Sun only 1pm-4pm. Early D 5pm-6.30 daily, (Wed all evening) 2/3 course €24/ €28. Set 2/3 course D €28/€32. Amex, Visa, MasterCard. abbreviations

Set in a 130-year old cut stone railway building (formerly The Storehouse restaurant), Trax Brasserie has oodles of character, with stone walls, high ceilings with huge exposed beams and lovely old wide-planked wooden floors contrasting with comfortable high-backed chairs, and shiny bare wooden tables that are set up smartly but simply in contemporary style.


Aside from the charm of the building itself, the tidy and well-lit car park makes an excellent first impression (the Kildare Farmers’ Market is held there on Saturdays), and there’s a very welcoming entrance area with plenty of seating, where friendly and knowledgeable staff meet arriving guests and offer the choice of a drink at the bar or going straight to the table – where menus, iced water and bread are promptly presented.


Menus – which include a 2/3 course early dinner menu that offers extremely good value for money - suggest a good range of modern classics including, of course, the great steaks that are de rigeur in these parts.


There’s a good choice of tempting seafood – marinated baked salmon with sesame seed crust, pak choy, sugar snaps and Asian dressing, perhaps, or seabass fillets with micro cress, crushed potatoes and vierge dressing.




The evening menu has plenty of meats and poultry, possibly including an excellent beef daube, with Bourguignon garnish and champ mash or glazed confit duck leg, with buttered red cabbage, champ and peppered orange jus.




Sides like scallion mash, crumbed onion rings, herbs salad and shoestring fries hit the spot too – but do allow space to enjoy the desserts, which are a real highlight here.

Choices may include a raspberry & white chocolate cheesecake, homemade chocolate brownie or for an extra €2, a selection of Irish cheeses with fruit, crackers and relish.

 


There’s a full bar licence, and a small but well chosen wine list offers 20 wines, listed by country and covering all varietals (eight each of red and white, with dessert, champagne and sparkling making up the rest).


Good coffees finish off an enjoyable meal here perfectly, allowing time to reflect on the charming old world setting, good food cooked simply with flair (and – something that is rare these days - perfectly seasoned), smart service and good value. All good reasons to return.
