THE PIG'S EAR
Read moreLocated on the first floor of a building with character, this restaurant is a great success. The chef's philosophy is simple: to offer traditional Irish cuisine with its own touch of modernity, at a price accessible to all. A successful gamble! The dishes are fine and tasty, prepared with some organic products. The meal is served in a pretty room where the decoration is both sober and sophisticated. Among the house specialities, we can mention the lamb shepherds pie and the vanilla cheese cake. An excellent address.

THE CHURCH
Read moreWe come here more for the setting than for the food. Because, as its name indicates, the restaurant occupies a church! Restored and converted into a restaurant, bar and club, this unusual establishment offers a trendy and, it must be said, unusual and impressive setting when you see the organs behind the bar in particular. The food is quite good, but not always up to our expectations; a little too classic perhaps. But at least you have to come and have a cocktail in this unusual place
MONGOLIAN BARBEQUE
Read moreThis is a good address with an original concept that has a good reputation in the capital. A la carte, buffet or "all you can eat" meals, each person prepares a bowl of meat or fish, seasonal vegetables, rice or noodles, and dresses it as he or she wishes with sauce and spices; all cooked before your eyes on a hot plate. Friendly atmosphere, charming service. A very good choice! And an unusual place that will bring back some good memories to the steppe lovers who had the chance to travel in Mongolia.
TROCADERO
Read moreOpen since 1957 in a beautiful Georgian building, this chic restaurant, with its dimmed lights and muted atmosphere with red walls and paintings of artists, serves delicious Italian and Irish cuisine with diverse influences. The menu includes excellent steaks and deliciously melting sole. Affectionately dubbed The Troc by Dubliners, it's a popular spot - locals swear by it for a special occasion - and we strongly advise you to book.
CAMDEN ROTISSERIE
Read moreWe love this restaurant, which has the casual feel of an American canteen. The large wooden tables give the place a warm, family atmosphere, but do not sacrifice the trendy character of Camden Street. On the plate, you can enjoy poultry, beef or lamb, roasted or grilled. The prices are reasonable and the service is very good. Note that some vegetarian options are also on the menu. With so many places to eat in Camden, this is a great option when it's time to sit down to dinner.
CHAPTER ONE
Read moreAn excellent address in Dublin. This chic restaurant (which has had a Michelin star for many years) has been tastefully fitted out in a Georgian building. Exposed stone walls, intimate setting, sober and refined décor; it is possible to dine in one of the private rooms or to settle down at the "Chef's Table", a surprising place which lends itself to the tasting of the 4 course menu. Finnish chef Mickael Viljanen's menu changes with the seasons, but the pleasure remains. Finally, the wine cellar is impressive.
BÓBÓS BURGERS DAME STREET
Read moreHere, as at the chain's 2 other addresses, you're greeted by cows! The pictures on the wall, the banquette hats and the milk jug light fittings all make it clear: you come here to eat meat! 100% Irish meat, with traceable origins. The burgers are mouth-watering, the meat juicy as can be, and there are even options for vegetarians. The atmosphere is relaxed and the service is fast and smiling.
ALMA
Read moreWe're taking you to Argentina from Ireland! In the heart of the Portobello district, Alma, which means "soul" in Spanish (but also symbolizes the initials of the family's four daughters), opens its doors to a thousand and one flavors. The plates are generous, colorful and breathe fresh produce. Here, you can sit down in a cozy interior or on the terrace, to enjoy fusion dishes that skilfully blend the two countries: Irish beef and blood pudding, Argentine sausage, chorizo... If you like your food spicy, you're in for a treat!
ELEPHANT & CASTLE
Read moreChic canteen atmosphere in this lively Temple Bar restaurant. We settle down on large wooden tables, in a merry hubbub, for a snack in the afternoon, an omelette in the morning, or chicken wings when leaving the pub. Classic dishes: good homemade burgers, sandwiches, omelettes and soups, among others. But also some more elaborate plates with a Mediterranean influence, such as homemade tagliatelle with scampi and mussels from Connemara or lamb with asparagus. A very nice address.
LA BODEGA
Read moreWelcome to the cosy atmosphere of La Bodega. Here the staff always welcomes you with a smile. The menu is not very extensive, but the tapas are absolutely delicious; we particularly recommend the grilled sardines, the tortilla, the garlic prawns, the chorizo with chickpeas, and to finish the chocolate fondant! Beware, the place is often crowded at the end of the week and the wait can be a bit long, especially in the charming and romantic patio. You'd think you were in Madrid, except for the heat!
THE LOBSTER POT
Read moreHere is a charming address that has been secretly kept since 1980! In a pleasant dining room with a cosy and somewhat old-fashioned atmosphere, where the fireplace crackles in winter, the waiters serve traditional dishes that are perfectly successful, most of which are composed of fish and especially seafood. Shrimps, lobsters, scallops or oysters will delight the amateurs. The wines are French, and the dishes also have that little something that seems familiar to us. Go ahead, but don't let the secret out..
SALAMANCA
Read moreHere are tapas like in Spain! And the choice is very, very wide: cheese croquettes, Serrano ham, marinated lamb kebabs, meat or fish balls, fried calamari, paella, cheese platter, spinach omelette... You will enjoy these tasty dishes in a large, quiet room, with a neat and elegant decoration. If you are a couple, we advise you to share one of the tapas platters. And the few tables on the terrace will make the happiness of the gourmets during the sunny lunches.
KIMCHI
Read moreAlso called the "hop-house", Kimchi is a Korean restaurant that lives up to its name since it is a traditional Korean dish made of chili and vegetables. A very popular recipe here! The menu also offers noodles, sushi and sashimi, salads and rice rolls. Between Korean and Japanese cuisine, there are many flavours to choose from. Kimchi is therefore a very good address, well known by Dubliners, and which has been rewarded many times for the quality and finesse of its menu
THE BANK ON COLLEGE GREEN
Read moreThe first instinct on entering this former bank is to look up. It's hard to blink at its lavish Victorian decor: stained-glass ceilings, mosaic floors, hand-carved cornices. What's more, the notes of a piano accompany your visit. Finally, the food on the plate is delicious and the waiters charming. We recommend that you make your way to the toilets, where we hear you can see some safes on the way!
BULL & CASTLE
Read moreBeer hall and steakhouse are the two specialties of Bull & Castle, with a wide choice of beers and steak slabs. The restaurant is very popular, despite its rather high prices. But let's face it, the interior offers warmth and conviviality, the decor is sympathetic, smiles are the order of the day and, above all, the meat offered by this steakhouse is simply delicious. And it's always expertly cooked! The little extra: each dish is recommended with a specific type of beer or wine.
