Not a huge restaurant man myself but here’s a few places I have liked:
Diep La Shakur, Dublin
already mentioned by The Rock. Smashing grub.
Shanhan’s on the Green, Dublin
puked after my dinner there but that may have had something to do with me drinking all day before it. The bread that they brought out beforehand is still probably the nicest thing I ever tasted. The steak was excellent also. The muscles for starters was what destroyed me.
Ginger, Belfast
Michelen star and fantastic food and service
Cork International Airport Hotel Restuarant, Cork
Smashing grub, decent banter from the staff but surroundings very tacky.
The Oarsman, Carrick-on-Shannon
Smashing grub, full but never stuffed and great service.
Also every single restaurant I visited in Kinsale - and Indian one, Jim Sheridans and some other one who’s name I can’t remember.
Ah your joking me? In Lahinch? Old fella about 96 runs the place. Only 1 tap in the place and thats Guinness. Loads of birds custard on the shelves? Love that place.
Back on topic: Cafe Mao on Chatam St was very good anytime I ate there, but have heard it get mixed reviews.
I have this minute just tried to book my usual joint for dinner with a new bird at the weekend and was offered 5pm only so have taken your advice and booked Le Caprice. If this doesn’t work out satisfactorily, I’ll hunt you down and stick you like a pig! http://www.thefreekick.com/board/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif
If it does of course, I’ll name my first born Art.
