Dublin: Restaurants
-
BAR DELI
Cheap prices don't always mean cheap food. This sophisticated little eatery in the south of the city is renowned for its extensive selection of beers and superb Italian-influenced cooking.
-
BEL CIBO
Ireland meets Italy in this modern, glassfronted eaterie. The beef carpaccio with parmesan, rocket and lemon dressing is like mama used to make it and, if you have a sweet tooth, be sure to try the tiramisu.
Address: UNIT 11, BLOCK A, SMITHFIELD. | Tel: +353 (0)1 874 8733
-
BRASS MONKEY
Don't be fooled by the goofy name; there's some serious cooking going on at this charming harbourside gastro-pub in leafy Howth. The locally caught fish of the day is always a winner.
-
BROWNES CAFE AND RESTAURANT
Love French cuisine but hate the snobbery that can go with it? Then check out this stylish bistro. The food is simple yet delicious, and don't worry about the price of the wine
-
DUNNE & CRESCENZI
The original and still the best Italian café in town. This is food you wish mama used to make: tasty lunches of cured and smoked meats, with an excellent range of fresh pasta dishes in the evening.
Address: 16 FREDERICK STREET SOUTH. | Tel: +353 (1) 675 9892

JUNOS
Excellent cooking, seasonal ingredients and local produce are the order of the day in this friendly bistro in up-andcoming Dublin 8. James McGeough's airdried ham and lamb are a real treat
-
KANUM
If all takeaways were this good, nobody would cook at home. Expect top-notch Thai nosh at bargain-basement prices
-
Kinara Kitchen
A slice of Karachi in the heart of Dublin. This stylish eatery in funky Ranelagh village is the place to go for great Pakistani cooking at reasonable prices: be sure to try the spicy beef Nehari Gosht.
