 Seaside Seafood |
107 Lower Georges Street Dublin Ireland +353 1 280 5318 |
Located in the suburb of Dun Laoghaire, this restaurant is ideal for a special occasion. The food is contemporary Irish, with a fair proportion of fresh fish on the menu, such as marinated monkfish with a curry and coconut-cream sauce or seafood chowder. Other items including lamb or roast venison are also available. Clever use of different levels squeezes an extra floor in. The décor is simple and the welcome warm. 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?

Irish fare at Tara's |
Merrion Road The Tara Towers Hotel Dublin, Leinster Ireland +353 (0)1 269 4666 (Hotel) |
The Tara Towers Hotel has a whole new look and ambiance after its refurbishment. No wonder the hotel's Conservatory Restaurant offers a brand new range of authentic and lip-smacking Irish fare. Dishes like chicken and roasted red pepper salad and poached darne of salmon are highly recommended. Reservations might be necessary if you are planning a weekend dinner with a big group.

Local favourite |
62 Lower Leeson St Dublin Ireland +353 1 676 8615 http://www.coopersrestaurant.ie/ |
A well-established local favourite, there are several branches of Cooper's, including one across the road from the Royal Dublin Society and one on Leeson Street in the city-centre. "Global cuisine" is the stated style of food, with menu items such as seared tuna with pineapple salsa or fresh tagliatelle with spinach and goat's cheese. This is the ideal place to eat out with a crowd, as everyone should find a dish to suit and the atmosphere is both comfortable and relaxed. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Perfect for Lunch or a Tipple |
15 Stephen's Lane Fitzwilliam Square Dublin, Leinster Ireland +353 1 676 4679 |
It is said locally that Dobbins invented the concept of lunch. Whether or not there's any truth to the rumour, this is certainly the place to experience lunch at its best. The room is filled with politicians, moguls and glitterati, and the international-style menu is full of delicious choices. Try the baked Fillet of Red Mullet with Lobster, or the Bacon and Basil Risotto. There is also live piano music from Wednesday to Saturday evening. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Potato paradise |
20-21 Temple Bar Dublin Ireland +353 1 677 2762 http://www.boxtyhouse.ie/ |
Known for short as "GBH", this traditional restaurant is located in the heart of Temple Bar. Visitors come here to enjoy local traditional cuisine - the favourite being the cheap, yet filling boxty: the best potato pancakes money can buy. While this may only be tentatively called "local cuisine" (many Dubliners would be hard pressed to tell you what boxty is or the last time they had it, it's still a popular restaurant and comes recommended. Other traditional dishes on offer include Irish stew and bacon and cabbage. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Great value food and wine |
Dublin Road Dublin, Co. Dublin Ireland +353 1 287 5759 |
The Hungry Monk is located in Greystones, just south of Bray along the coast south of Dublin. Greystones is a lovely village, with great places to walk after stuffing yourself with delicious treats from the Monk. Completely unassuming from the outside, the restaurant is located up a narrow staircase. The rooms are small and cosy with a fire blazing and lots of candlelight, all making for a very intimate atmosphere indeed. The food is generally excellent, with a variety of seafood and meats on offer. The menu changes seasonally, although roast Cavan duck, lamb's kidneys and rack of lamb are among the staples. The wine list is also held in high esteem. Review © 2007, Wcities |

The highest pub in Ireland |
Glencullen Dublin Ireland +353 1 295 5647 http://www.jfp.ie/ |
Johnnie Fox's prides itself on being "the highest pub in Ireland". A trip up the Dublin mountains to this pub should certainly give you the chance to immerse yourself in Irish culture. It also happens to have won the Egon Ronay "Best Food Award Winner" for four years running, as well as the "James Joyce Pub Award". The atmosphere is everything you'd want in a traditional Irish pub and - despite the traditional choice of ingredients - the food is better than you'ld think. 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 |

Old world style |
31 Lower Pembroke Street Dublin Ireland +353 1 676 2994 / +353 1 676 2980 |
For traditional style food in an above-average setting, visit this traditonal restaurant in the heart of Georgian Dublin. The Pembroke is comfortable but also upmarket; big chairs, dark walls, the kind of place kids of all ages might take their parents. The menu has exactly what you would expect; lamb, steak, fish and all of it's good and hearty. The Pembroke is also open for continental breakfast, as well as lunch and dinner. The bar is a good spot for a drink, with a traditional wooden interior moving into a glazed atrium. Review © 2007, Wcities |
