We may or may not have asked for a second portion) the co-owners are great craic and it is the perfect spot for a liquid lunch with good company, we send everyone we know here!  

One of our fave Asian fusion restaurants in the heart of Dublin City. Always a fun night with gorgeous opulent décor, a great spot to get dressed up and let the hair down over delicious food and cocktails. Perfect for a girls night out.  

Arguably the best food in Dublin right now, Yes we said it. This menu is unlike anything you have experienced. The restaurant offers a relaxed and paired back setting letting the exquisite food do the talking. Sharing plates are encouraged, so round up a few pals and book here for an exceptional meal. A must for foodies.  

A beautiful new addition to the upmarket Dublin restaurant scene where style meets substance. We recommend a leisurely lunch, pop a bottle of champagne and take in some lovely views over Dublin. The menu boasts a fusion of French with southeast Asian flavours and menu highlights include the spiced chicken samosa to start and a delicious parmesan crusted chicken for main. The absolute showstopper on the menu however, is the ginger margarita cocktail, a flavour pairing we never knew we needed but can no longer live without. Cue Ginger Margs becoming the trend of the season, you heard it here first!  

The internationally renowned steakhouse based in the impressive surroundings of an old banking hall. The food is utterly delicious, be prepared to be rolled out with sides the size of mains! This is an amazing spot for a celebration or date night and they do a mean spicy marg too! The Sunday Roast is also top notch!  

Cellar22 is a wine lover's dream located on St. Stephen's Green. With over 30 wines available by the glass and sharing plates on the menu, this is certainly the place to gather all the girls! With handmade charcuterie, bread, cheese and wine... it's always a winner with a group!
