The best restaurants Dublin

This charming vegetarian and vegan restaurant, the first to open its doors in the Irish capital, is very popular. Its warm and comfortable setting, its few tables on the terrace and its healthy and balanced cuisine are the recipes for its success. The menu offers a variety of original dishes, such as the leek-potato and zucchini gratin with goat cheese sauce. We also particularly appreciate the breakfast, with or without gluten, and the soup of the day, always delicious.

The only artisanal creperie in the capital! Located along the Royal Canal, not far from the city centre, this address was opened by Grégory Autret, Breton and Irish by adoption. His creperie is a hit, no doubt thanks to its French touch, but especially thanks to its succulent buckwheat pancakes, either savoury or sweet, made from flour produced in a Breton mill. On the menu, the great classics such as the wholemeal (egg, ham and cheese), but also sophisticated recipes featuring the best Irish products.

A little history to start with! On the north bank of the Liffey, Dublin Woollen Mills is an iconic Dublin building that was home to a famous garment factory from 1888 to 2012. Bringing this vast historic building back to life was a real challenge, and one that has been successfully met by a restaurant that has seen things through: four floors and a rooftop terrace overlooking the Liffey and the Ha'penny Bridge. This gastro-pub, which describes itself as a friendly "eating house" that prepares everything on the spot, is a real find.

Located 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 excellent Fallon & Byrne restaurant is located on the first floor of the Food Hall delicatessen. In an Irish-style brasserie atmosphere, you'll enjoy finely selected, eco-friendly products, an extensive wine list and simply fabulous cocktails, such as the Dublin Mule or the Green Samurai. Here are just a few dishes to whet your appetite: Aged Irish beef carpaccio or oysters for starters; crispy duck confit, grilled salmon or entrecôte steak for the main course; homemade cheesecake or espresso martini for dessert.

We 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

Open 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.

We 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.

An 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.

Here, 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.

This is a chic and discreet bistro, modern and elegant, and undoubtedly one of the best restaurants in Ranelagh village. It is named after the Wild Ge ese, the Irish mercenaries who left the country to join the continental armies between the 16th and 18th centuries. In a romantic setting, you can enjoy elaborate cuisine that awakens the senses and highlights seasonal produce. Wine lovers will be delighted, as the cellar has hundreds of bottles.

Tucked away in a small alleyway, in a classy and cosy atmosphere, chef Ciaran McGill's One Pico is an excellent restaurant in the capital. The Irish chef reworks the great Irish and sometimes even French classics with seasonal produce and a welcome creative touch. The fillet of beef with foie gras, with truffles and celery purée, is a must. The wine list is also very good and the sommelier's advice is always sound. The good plan is the lunch menus, with excellent value for money.
