First of all, ye'll love Ireland no matter you'll visit.
On our most recent visit, we stayed at, and ate at Doyle's in Dingle...though the food presentation and quality was excellent.
Also, for lunch, try "Destry's (Rides Again) in Clifden...cute little place with innovative dishes.

This is a restaurant you do NOT want to miss if ever in Kenmare:

I can vouch for their Roasted Chicken & Potatoes, their Beef and Guinness Irish Stew, and their Potato cakes with herb and smoked salmon. We LOVED this place!

Just remembered another place where we had a memorable meal - The Mustard Seed at Echo Lodge in County Limerick near Adare. We also lodged there a couple nights and loved it. www.mustardseed.ie

If you're going to be anywhere near Galway, a wonderful fried oyster lunch awaits you at famous Moran's...in Kilcolgan, a little bayside town a few kms. south of Galway. Probably good for dinner ,too.

It depends on your price range. Seafood especially salmon is good here, everyone should try fish and chips at least once. My favouritte places are not necessairily "Irish" food here in Dublin. There are some great Indian Restaurants around as well. We ate at a nice one a few weeks back in Ennis above a shop near the market sq must look up and post. What area will you be in to narrow down?

L'Gueleton on Fade Street in Dublin if you're there. It's rustic French food done very well and a great atmosphere. You can't book but they take your name and will call once a table is free. Usually no wait at lunch.
Beshoffs fish and chips while walking up the pier if you're in Howth is wonderful...and bracing.

That's a coincidence - I just had lunch at L'gueuleton! One of my favourite restaurants in the city. There was a queue at lunchtime today and we actually got the last table for 2 - however it is Christmas week so all restaurants in the city are packed. Food is FAB! My other favourite place is Chapter One on Parnell Square.

Best meal was lunch at Fishy Fishy in Kinsale - they do not take reservations and at the time (2 years ago) were only open for lunch. It was great. Another great meal was had at Out of the Blue in Dingle. We loved it but some may find their "attitude" slightly offensive - i.e. from the website:
"Meat eaters need not apply: Out Of The Blue is strictly for seafood lovers! Everything depends upon the catch of the day and nothing but the best will do. If there’s no fish, the restaurant doesn’t open." You may get a lecture on local fishing rights, etc. It was worth it to us!
