Fallon & Byrne
Dublin's very own Dean and Deluca-style upmarket food hall, wine cellar and restaurant has been an absolute smash hit since it opened in 2006. The queues for the delicious deli counter are constant (which is partly due to the often inefficient staff), while the chic buzzy brasserie upstairs - with long red banquettes, a diverse menu of creamy fish pie, beef carpaccio or roast turbot and excellent service - hasn't failed to impress either.

Gruel
Noisy, cosy and beloved by its ever-lengthening list of devotees, Gruel is one of the best dishes in town, a deli-cum-rustic trattoria that has them queuing out the door. They come for the super-filling, taste-defying, lunchtime roast-in-a-roll - a rotating list of slow roast organic meats stuffed into a bap and flavoured with home-made relishes - and the exceptional evening menu, where pasta, fish and chicken are given the exotic once-over. It doesn't accept bookings, so just go, queue and share elbow space with the table behind you; it's worth every effort.

Listons
The lunchtime queues streaming out the door of this place are testament to its reputation as Dublin's best deli. Its sandwiches (with fresh and delicious fillings), roasted-vegetable quiches, rosemary potato cakes and sublime salads will have you coming back again and again - the only problem is there's too much choice! On fine days, take your gourmet picnic to the nearby Iveagh Gardens .

Shanahan's On The Green
'American-style steakhouse' hardly does justice to this elegant restaurant where JR Ewing and his cronies would happily have done business. Spread across three floors of a stunning Georgian building are four elegant dining areas, where impeccable service and a courteous bonhomie attract the great, the good and the not-so-good to its well-laid-out tables.

Tante Zoé's
This well-established favourite serves up a Mardi Gras for the senses almost every night, with its menu of gumbos , jambalayas , bayou steaks, Cajun-blackened this and Creole-infused that. It ain't subtle and it won't win a lot of gourmet foodie awards, but the crowd couldn't care less: they come to laisser rouler les bons temps and that's exactly what they get.
