Green Onion
Located in what was Limerick's 19th-century town hall. The menu is as eclectic as the interior design and often just as striking. Food is served all day and includes a creative range of sandwiches and salads. Think modern Irish with global influences. At night, there's a changing line-up of finely crafted choices and you can enjoy three courses for under around €30.

Sage Cafe
The decor at this licensed cafe says it all: superb taste that doesn't call attention to itself. Breakfast treats and baked goods give way to a line-up of lunch sandwiches, salads such as tiger prawn and cashew nut, and hot plates like lambs liver with apricot stuffing and black pudding potato cake.

Moll Darby’s
Exposed brick, dark wood and bundles of nautical schlock make Moll’s an attractive and atmospheric choice on George’s Quay. The red-checked tablecloths add a jaunty air, which will only intensify as you slurp down the superb oysters and other seasonal seafood delights.

Locke Bar
When the Atlantic gusts abate, enjoy the tables waterside at this sprawling cafe-cum-bar or get lost in the maze of rooms and bars. Enjoy the pub menu of pasta, fish and chips, burgers and more amid the scrum, or in more refined quarters upstairs.

Good Room Cafe
Inventive soups, salads, sandwiches, baked goods and homemade jams at this (very) good room are more contemporary than you'd expect from the cutesy thatched-cottage location. Arrive early before their famous scones sell out.

Chocolat
Make that very international. This trendy, minimalist place has been packed since its recent opening and no wonder. Food spans the globe – from Thai mango chicken and Singapore noodles to German meatballs and Toulouse sausages, plus plenty of northern, central and southern American classics, including finger-licking ribs. And, of course, there's chocolate, such as Snickers Belgian mousse and white chocolate cheesecake. The inventive, generous cocktails are the best in town, and include a chocolate coffee kiss (Kahlua, Baileys, creme de cacao, Grand Marnier and chocolate syrup).
