58 Dame Street Dublin Ireland +353 1 677 8888 http://www.apache.ie/ |
This take-away pizzeria is generally swamped after the pubs close, not least because of its central location on Dame Street. The Apache can hardly be considered a restaurant, but the service is brisk and the food is reasonably priced. Split a pizza with some friends and eat it around the corner in Meeting House Square. It beats the burger joints hands down. Review © 2007, Wcities |

The original fish and chips |
2 Werburgh Street Dublin Ireland +353 1 454 0306 |
Burdock's is the original Dublin chipper, and a firm favourite for those seeking fish and chips after a night in the pub. There's not much else to say really: Burdock's is just the best there is. There are two other locations, one in Rathmines and the other on the North Circular Road, where it is possible to get items other than fish and chips...but why would you want to?

Fine Italian cuisine |
38-40 Parliament Street Temple Bar Dublin Ireland +353 1 671 9308 |
Sister to the "Da Pino" restaurant in Marbella, this centrally-located Dublin eaterie serves classic Italian food: some even say it's the best in the whole of Temple Bar. Da Pino is a neighborhood spot with a friendly, familiar feel to it - something that is increasingly rare in an area full of trendy steel and glass restaurants. Recommended. Review © 2007, Wcities |

 Airy and stylish hang-out |
Parliament Street Dublin, Leinster Ireland +353 1 670 4112 |
The Front Lounge is a classy joint that does not cause personal affronts with ridiculous door policies or intimidating clientele. Plush sofas, good art, and attentive waiters make this one of the more comfortable bars in Dublin. It attracts a well-dressed crowd that makes anyone in jeans feel uncomfortably underdressed. It is one of the few area bars where gays and heterosexuals freely intermingle. For a quieter setting visit during the day for lunch or coffee. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Indian restaurant with Euro flair |
41 South Great Georges Street Dublin, Leinster Ireland +353 1 677 0999 http://www.jaipur.ie/ |
With its rather modern interior and adventurous European-influenced menu, Jaipur is not your average traditional Indian restaurant. If you like Indian food, but believe that chefs should remain open to cross-cultural ideas then you will probably be impressed with Jaipur's culinary daring and imagination. Their selection of reasonably priced wines is particularly noteworthy, and arguably reason enough in itself to choose this particular establishment. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Health food haven |
9 Castle House South Great Georges Street Dublin Ireland +353 1 475 7856 http://www.juicerestaurant.ie/ |
If you're a health-food junkie or a sworn vegetarian, this is the place for you. Vegetarian? You'll be surprised. Juice serves distinctly funky vegetarian cuisine, in a large, airy dining room, complete with stainless steel and dark wine-colored walls. Popular menu items include spinach and ricotta cheese cannelloni, or a platter of home-made dips and pestos, including butter-bean and olive paté and spinach, as well as pistachio pesto. They also have a juice bar on-site and a fine organic wine list. Totally recommended. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Rustic France - in Dublin! |
74 Dame Street Next to the Olympia Theatre Dublin, Dublin Ireland +353 1 679 4555 http://www.lesfreresjacques.com/ |
No funky, fashionable, fusion cuisine here: instead, Les Frèrés Jacques offers straightforward French cooking in an unpretentious surrounding. This is mellow, delicious and approachable food. You won't need a dictionary to read the menu: items on offer include Pheasant Soup, Snails in Garlic Butter, Sole on the Bone and Crème Caramel. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Dublin's oldest seafood restaurant |
23 Christchurch Place Dublin Ireland +353 1 454 2420 |
The Lord Edward, Dublin's oldest seafood restaurant and pub, is prime-placed amidst Christchurch Cathedral, Dublin Castle and St Patrick's Cathedral. Completely old-world in atmosphere, with waiters full of character to match, the food at the Lord Edward is superb, with fresh fish being the highlight of any day's menu. If you have a group of four or six, you can request a table which overlooks the beautiful Christchurch Cathedral. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Delicious cuisine at this splendid restaurant |
69/70 Dame Street Dublin Ireland +353 1 670 8236 http://www.mermaid.ie/ |
The Mermaid is an excellent little restaurant located on Dame Street, which is just far enough off the Temple Bar strip that Dubliners might actually go to it. It has won the prestigious "Best Restaurant in Temple Bar" award, which is no mean feat given the number of good eateries in the area. The food is outstanding with, not surprisingly, a fish bias. If you take the freshest and best ingredients and don't mess around with them too much, then you have Mermaid's menu - simple, elegant and impeccable. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Popular Nepalese restaurant |
28 Eustace Street Temple Bar Dublin Ireland +353 1 670 4911 / +353 1 670 4915 |
Monty's of Katmandu is a relatively new eaterie that has quickly earned itself an excellent reputation with Dublin's more discerning restaurateurs. Located in the heart of Temple Bar, this intimate and very friendly establishment offers unusual Nepalese dishes, with Indian cuisine also well represented. The lunch special is particularly good value. Review © 2007, Wcities |

A right old mixture! |
90-91 Francis Street Dublin Ireland +353 1 454 2028 |
The Old Dublin is influenced by the Scandinavian and Russian history to be found in this part of the city, which dates back to Viking times. This restaurant is a series of cosy, low-ceilinged rooms with blazing fires. The food is unusual for Dublin with items like Borscht, Piroshkis and Blinis, as well as a Planked Sirloin Hussar, which is a steak baked between two oak planks... which is very much delicious! You'll also find a multitude of antique shops in this area, so the Old Dublin should be a welcome respite from hunting out that bargain! Review © 2007, Wcities |
 A funky pad |
30 Richmond Place Portobello Dublin Ireland +353 1 475 5551 |
This is a funky place to eat, well-established on Dublin's restaurant scene, where the music booms and the cooking is quirky. Examples of their best dishes are the prawn soup and stuffed peppers, comprised of tofu, nuts, coriander and corn. As it's a little out from the immediate city-centre, you can also expect a low-key, intimate and atmospheric night out. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Cheerful Mexican cuisine |
32 Parliament Street Dublin Ireland +353 1 679 1950 |
A long-established fixture on the outskirts of Temple Bar, Poco Loco is a (relatively) cheap and cheerful Mexican restaurant, serving a good selection of tapas and authentic main courses in an informal but very atmospheric setting. It's a lively, colourful place and seems particularly popular with larger groups, although the service hasn't got a great reputation. The restaurant also boasts a fully-licensed bar and operates a takeaway service during week days. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Popular Punjabi dining spot |
15 Ranelagh Village Dublin Ireland +353 1 497 9420 |
The Punjab Balti House offers a sublime array of intriguing dishes (along with the more traditional) with the emphasis firmly on Punjabi and Pakistani cuisine. The restaurant has now established something of a distinguished reputation in the city. Excellent service compensates for the lack of drinks licence but even this can be bypassed through the bring-your-own bottle policy. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Home-made sweet and savoury treats |
4 Cork Hill Dublin Ireland +353 1 670 7499 |
Queen of Tarts lies on the edge of Temple Bar and is one of the city's finest cafes. Everything on the menu is home-made on the premises, and the cafe specializes in excellent cakes, scones and crumbles. Tasty breakfasts, delicious savoury tarts and good coffee are also on offer. Queen of Tarts has built up a considerable reputation for fine food and courteous service after only a few years in business; and has now established a branch in the newly refurbished City Hall, right across the road.

Popular Summer Haunt for Food & Beer |
60 Ranelagh Dublin, Leinster Ireland +353 (0)1 497 7120 |
Russell's of Ranelagh is a large pub with two floors and a famous summer haunt, the roof garden. The pub also serves a good food menu, which is much more than just pub grub. The bar sits on the corner in Ranelagh and the beer garden sits facing the main street. This is a very popular place during the summer months. The prices are average for Dublin, and Russell's is an ideal pub to relax, grab a drink, and fill up on tasty entrees. If you are in Dublin during the summer, be sure to visit here, if just for the beer garden. - Gerry Coburn Review © 2007, Wcities |

Fill the gap |
22 South Great Georges Street Dublin, Leinster Ireland +353 1 679 7821 |
This cafe is the brainchild of the former owner of the legendary, and now defunct, Marks Brothers' cafe. As a result, it's attracted a lot of the old Marks Brothers' crowd. It's right next door to Market Arcade, so it is a perfect place for a quick bite to eat after a Saturday afternoon's shopping. Tuck in to some home-made soup, door-stop sandwiches, and delectable Cinnamon Buns. Review © 2007, Wcities |
