Fine Dining
One of the best spots for fine-dining in the city is l'Ecrivain Restaurant. They are well-rated by Zagat Survey and Concierge.com, as well as exceptionally rated by Frommer's. The menu features a French fare, while many dishes are made with Irish ingredients. The food is "extraordinary" and the cost per plate shows this. The menu changes often, like most fine-dining establishments, but the wine list is "hefty" and "regularly updated." Reservations are strongly recommended at least a couple weeks in advance. -
Affordable Dining
If you're looking for truly affordable dining in Dublin, or anywhere in Ireland for that matter, your best bet would be a true Irish pub. But sometimes the pub scene just isn't an option, especially when traveling with children; Leo Burdock Traditional Fish and Chips is a great low-cost option. True to it's name, they serve fish and chips, but only by take-out. Fortunately St. Patrick's Cathedral is only a short walk away, and there there are benches and places to picnic with your fine meal on the go. Leo's is open late, so be sure to stop in after a night of pubbing. -
