  2. Brown's Restaurant

    From the outside Brown's may not have the most promising location, but step inside and you're in a cool little enclave of brandy-coloured banquettes, chrome and mesh chairs, zebra-striped drapes and squiggly metal light fittings, with the odd Rothko print adorning the walls. The ever-changing menu is a gastronome's delight, making creative use of fresh local produce in dishes such as collops of monkfish in a sherry, roast pepper and chorizo cream sauce.

  6. Mange 2

    Tea-lights flickering in pierced pottery bowls lend a bit of atmosphere to this Georgian-style dining room, an elegant venue for a bit of a splurge. The French fusion menu includes lots of Irish ingredients - try plump Strangford Lough mussels á la Basquaise (in a thick broth of roasted red pepper, garlic, wine and cream) - and a handful of good vegetarian dishes, and there's an 'early bird' three-course dinner.
