Two restaurants in one, courtesy of renowned chef Dylan McGrath. At the front, the buzzy tapas bar, which serves gourmet bites from a beautiful open kitchen; at the back, the more muted restaurant specialises in Irish cuts of meat – from veal to rabbit – served with homegrown organic vegetables. There's a bar upstairs too. Reservations recommended.
