Japanese casual dining at its Dublin best is the order of the day at this wonderful new spot whose name translates as 'Sisu's Tavern'. Within its wood-panelled, low-lit interior you'll get a broad range of dishes, from rolls to ramen. The €10 lunch bento was, at the time of writing, the best in town.
