Until the 1990s dining in Dublin was a rather lack-lustre experience: a meal out meant a piece of steak accompanied by a crescent-shaped dish of overcooked vegetables and three kinds of potato. Nowadays, though, the city has everything to offer the gourmet visitor, from trendy tapas bars serving up a little of what you fancy to Michelin-starred restaurants offering more courses than you can shake a menu at. The crescent-shaped dishes are still in evidence, but now the veg is delicately steamed and infinitely more edible.
Fresh seafood is often the highlight of a Dublin menu, with locally sourced Irish beef and lamb providing a treat for carnivores. Dedicated veggie eateries are thin on the ground, but with a bit of planning non-meat-eaters can avoid the ubiquitous vegetable lasagne. The city’s ethnic restaurants are a particularly good choice for both vegetarians and their carnivore friends: Chinese and Indian cuisines are well represented, while Southeast Asian food (especially Thai) and Japanese noodles are both becoming increasingly popular.
Temple Bar has a cornucopia of moderately priced eateries, with Italian and traditional Irish restaurants making a particularly strong showing. You’ll find plenty of upmarket places in the area around Grafton Street. Restaurants are thinner on the ground north of the river, but those that exist usually have a well-established, reliable reputation. Beyond the city centre is a clutch of individual, independent venues that are worth the bus, DART or cab ride out of town.
