Fran, as someone who appreciates quality food, what would you recommend as your top 5 places to go in Dublin?[/quote]
I don’t know if I’d have a top 5 or anything. I think Dublin has a very good selection of places to eat but that’s coming from a muck savage like me. Amongst my favourite places would be;
Chapter one, Le Guilleton (fade street), the green hen (exchequer street), chez max (beside Dublin castle), pichet (just off dame lane).
Some excellent early bird value available at most of those place.
I haven’t eaten there yet but pearl brasserie is supposed to be excellent as is l’ecrivain
Juniors in Ringsend is probably my favourite restaurant in Dublin. Small place, no bookings, great atmosphere, brilliant food. And their Sunday brunch is just noble.

Pearl Brasserie is very nice but quite snooty. I was in the Pig’s Ear on Nassau St for the first time a couple of weeks ago. I’d recommend it quite highly. There’s a new restaurant opening opposite the 51 that I’m really looking forward to trying.
Juniors of Bath Av is very busy most times but mostly populated by the worse type of wankers you would wish to dine with.
The types who wear shorts in November and shades on their heads.
Farmer brownes down the road is a super little deli id recommend for lunch.
Yerra it’s a few hundred metres on the road from slatterys up towards Ringsend. Found the restaurant food simple and excellent but the brunch is unbeatable. The kitchen is open alongside the restaurant too which makes a nice atmosphere I think.
Yup. While I lived in Ringsend, and always walked the couple hundred yards as far as it. Sorry if my geography wasn’t accurate enough for you, I’ll be sure to stick a pin and a google maps link next time i mention anywhere near anywhere lest I cause you any high blood pressure again.
Remembered another one. Koishi. Really great Japanese restaurant. Lovely staff and still the nicest sushi I’ve ever had.
HBV this ones in ballsbridge. Now, it’s not exactly on the bridge itself but I’d say it’s only about 150 yards away. Maybe two at the outside. It’s across the road from Rolys. But not directly across the road, it’s prob about 20 yards down from it. Sorry I can’t be more specific.
Keshk, just off Baggot Street is the best value restaurant in town at the minute. You can bring your own drink as well for those on a budget, with no corkage charge.
