The restaurants in Dublin below have been grouped into three different price categories:
Expensive (over €60)
Moderate (€40 to €60)
Cheap (under €40)
These prices are for a three-course meal for one with half a bottle of wine or equivalent, including VAT. A service charge of 12.5% is often added to bills (this will be clearly stated, although many diners add a discretionary tip of around 5 to 10% of the bill. If service is not included, a tip of between 12.5% and 15% is usual. Credit cards are accepted in most restaurants.

Farm
Price:
Moderate
Cuisine:
Irish
There are not many places that serve Irish food this fresh and well sourced in the centre of Dublin. Opened in 2007, this bright modern restaurant has already attracted a loyal clientele who come to enjoy the certified organic beef and lamb. The cooking is simple and the ingredients are left to speak loudly for themselves. Probably the best children's menu in town for trendy kids too.

Ireland

Bon Appetit
Price:
Moderate
Cuisine:
Modern Irish
It’s well worth the DART ride out of the city to sample the excellent fare at Bon Appetit. Head chef Oliver Dunne works miracles in the kitchen with fresh local ingredients, and the restaurant has moved away from its Michelin star guise to plate up wonderful European cuisine like wild boar chop with braised red cabbage, potato fondant, parsnip and vanilla purée. Its tapas bar is fantastic too.
