Eden

Eden Review

Eden is where arty and media types are likely to gather to talk about, well, themselves. It has an open kitchen and a high wall of glass through which you can observe one of Temple Bar's main squares. Patio-style doors lead to an outdoor eating area—a major plus in a city with relatively few alfresco dining spots. On weekend nights in summer you can enjoy an outdoor movie in Meeting House Square while you eat. Seasonal menus are in vogue here, but standout dishes include marinated black mission fig tart, and Castletownebere scallops with crispy potato cake, creamed leeks, and prawn bisque. Desserts include a tempting Belgian hot chocolate pudding.
