L'Gueuleton
Dubliners have a devil of a time pronouncing the name (which means 'a gluttonous feast' in French) and have had their patience tested with the no-reservations-get-in-line-and-wait policy, but they just can't get enough of this restaurant's robust take on French rustic cuisine that makes twisted tongues and sore feet a small price to pay. The steak is sensational, but the Toulouse sausages with choucroute and Lyonnaise potatoes is proof that when it comes to the pleasures of the palate, the French really know what they're doing.

Green Hen
Borrowing a page out of New York's book of how to successfully re-imagine the French brasserie, the Green Hen is Dublin's version of a buzzing, stylish Soho eatery. Elegance and economy live side-by-side here, so if you don't fancy gorging on oysters or tucking into a divine Irish Hereford rib-eye, you can opt for the plat du jour or avail of the early-bird menus; watch out for their killer cocktails.

Cliff Townhouse
Emboldened by the Michelin star awarded to its sister property in Ardmore, Sean Smith's menu is a confident expression of the very best of Irish cuisine – Warrenpoint fish pie, organic fillet of pork and a loin of venison share the menu with a masterful fish and chips.

Brasserie Sixty6
This swanky New York–style brasserie is one of the most popular party-dinner spots in town – the kind of place at which you'd want to celebrate your birthday with friends. It does a mean rotisserie chicken, four different ways at any given time. Besides its signature dish, the meat-heavy menu features things like lamb shank and a particularly good bit of liver. For that special occasion, there's a whole roast pig, but you need to order seven days in advance and be in a group of eight.

Sale e Pepe
Despite the name, there's only a handful of Italian dishes on a menu that emphasises well-prepared steaks, fish and chips, and homemade organic burgers.

Howth Fishermen's Farmer's Market
One of the best in Dublin, this is the place to come for fresh fish (obviously) but also for organic meat, veg and homemade everything else, including jams, cakes and breads. A great option for Sunday lunch.

House
Wonderful spot on the main street leading away from the harbour where you can feast on dishes like crunchy Bellingham blue cheese polenta or wild Wicklow venison stew as well as a fine selection of fish.

Chez Sara
Irish lamb, red snapper and a beautifully cooked steak are just three of the highlights of this cosy French restaurant in the middle of the village.

Lemon
Lemon, which has a second branch in Dawson St, doesn’t look like much – until you catch a whiff of those crepes. Then it’s straight inside where a sweet or savoury crepe or waffle is yours at breakneck speed. Get it smothered in sinful ice cream, chocolate sauce, coconut or Grand Marnier.
