101 Talbot

101 Talbot Review

The 101 on 101 Talbot is that it has that certain buzz that comes only from restaurants popular with the artistic and literary set. Close to the Abbey and Gate theaters, so there's no danger of missing a curtain call, this slightly frantic upstairs restaurant showcases an ever-changing exhibition of local artists' work. The creative contemporary food—with eclectic Mediterranean and Eastern influences—uses fresh local ingredients. Try the char-grilled breast of Irish chicken stuffed with black pudding and goat cheese and served with spring onion mash. The char-grilled prawn kebab with baby spinach salad also impresses. Healthful options and several vegetarian choices make this a highly versatile restaurant.
