Dublin Restaurant Reviews

"Come in! Come in! Your dinner's poured out!" goes the old North Dublin joke. In truth, its description of Irish food as being best when hidden in soup wasn't so far off the mark. For years, "Irish cuisine" used to be nothing more than a convenient way of grouping potatoes and stout under the same heading.
