  1. A

    Genting Thai

    It's the real deal here at this little bistro. The menu is actually Thai (without a lot of interloping Chinese dishes) and is both perfectly spiced and often spicy: if your tongue's deadened by Irish cooking, you'll love the many dishes rated with three chillies on the menu.

    Restaurant David Norris

    Norris' modern façade is uninspiring, but inside the décor is stylish and the menu exciting. Starters such as crisp-fried calamari are terrific. The emphasis is on steaks and shanks, but vegetarians and fish fanciers have delicious options too. A four-course early bird special is available until 19:00 Monday to Friday.

    Harty's Lounge Bar

    Despite its svelte appearance, this modernised Tralee institution serves no-nonsense nosh, but with tagliatelle joining beef and Guinness stew on the menu. It was the birthplace of the Rose of Tralee festival in 1959.

    French Flair

    Crispy crêpes, melt-in-your-mouth quiche and tartiflette (traditional potato, bacon and melted reblochon cheese dish from the French Alps) are among the dishes that almost convince you that you've arrived in France, and its charming decor does nothing to dissuade you from the illusion.

  20. Allo's

    This popular spot is best known for its bar/bistro, whose interior of reused architectural items and wood create a traditional feel. Global influences range from tempura of oysters with coconut and lemongrass to tandoori- and coriander-marinated cod. The wine list is excellent. Three comfy rooms with private bathrooms are tucked upstairs.

  21. Aines Cafe & Wine Bar

    Now a daytime-only operation, this is nevertheless a cosy little spot with Elvis on the stereo, Audrey Hepburn posters on the walls and a view of kids kicking footballs on the Square out the front.
