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
-
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
-
LEO BURDOCK
If you like fish and chips, you'll love this popular takeaway across from Christ Church Cathedral. The chips are delicious, but be sure to try the lemon sole goujons, cooked, like everything else at Burdock's, in traditional beef dripping.

ONE PICO
A little touch of France in the heart of Dublin, this sophisticated, classy eatery serves up a mixture of European dishes from a menu that changes daily.
