All The Food

Seafood is for life, not just for summer. As much as we love eating oysters al fresco and cracking open in-season Irish lobster as the sun shines down, there’s just as much great fish and shellfish on menus year round that should be celebrated. From fresh-as-it-gets seaside spots, to Spanish-style conservas, omakase sushi to Sichuan sea bass, here are the best places in Dublin to get the best seafood all year round...   Fish Shop, Benburb Street We’ve lost count of the times

Throw a brick around Dublin city centre and you’re likely to hit a pub grub menu with chicken burgers, Caesar salad, Thai curry and carbonara – the tourist trap starter pack.

From food trucks smartly slotting into outdoor spaces, to restaurant quality kitchens around the back of boozers, here’s where to find the best pub food in Du

This isn't continental Europe. Contrary to popular belief restaurants in the Irish capital do not close en masse on Sundays. It's true that almost everywhere serving a tasting menu shuts for a day of rest, but there are countless other options from tapas to steak to the very best of Irish seafood. Here's where to go when you need a serious feed of a Sunday in Dublin city centre (and within walking distance of it)... City Centre and surrounds Table 45, Hogan Place Chilean tapa

With another heatwave (apparently) on the agenda, summer might well be saved. We're thinking California taco vibes, rooftop retreats, and...

We've all been there. You're planning a special birthday or anniversary dinner, or need to book something good with that foodie friend who's back in town for one night only, and the penny drops: oh GOD, it's a Monday! While things have come on a bit from when the start of the week was a veritable dining desert, Monday's still the quietest night of the week by a ways - here's your cheat sheet for where to book ahead or try your luck with a walk-in, and all the best offers they

The prices of everything sky-rocketing are bad enough when you're just trying to live your life, but throw in the expensive hobby of dating and it can quickly turn into a financial car crash. Tiktokers have been complaining about the cost of dating in Ireland, and can you blame them? €180 for a first date you'll probably never see again - sure you'd be as well just staying home and giving up on love. While there are plenty of free/ultra cheap date options (a walk in the park,

It’s nearly a national sport at this stage to complain about the prices (for tickets and food) at Taste of Dublin , but starved for...

With the early onset of summer this year showing (whisper it) no signs of abating for anything more than a day or two at a time, we’re...

We struggle to understand why so many Irish restaurants are unwelcome to tiny diners - if they don't get the chance to eat out, how can they learn how to behave in those spaces. Plus food-loving parents are the perfect early evening table-filler, back out the door before 7pm to tackle bedtime. We have a way to go to compete with places like Malaga, Milan or Madrid, where young diners are often welcomed with more fanfare than their parents, and everywhere from corner cafés to

Lunch just doesn’t get the love it deserves anymore. In our fast-paced world of pre-ordered salad bowls and sad wraps to go, the fine art...
