    Chapter one

    Paddy Gilbauds is extremely good but a little pricey
    Unicorn can be good on its day for a long lunch
    Rolys is good value and well worth a visit

    Where in Dublin? What type of food? Price? Occasion?

    One of my favourite restaurants is Fire on Dawson St.
    Oh yes as above - Roly's is great.
    Also the merrion hotel

    Not sure if Chapter One opens for Lunch on saturday (http://www.chapteronerestaurant.com/) You could try Thorntons up on the green http://www.thorntonsrestaurant.com/ I know they have always been quite cheap for Saturday lunch (website says €25 at the moment) or check Patrick Guilbaud http://www.restaurantpatrickguilbaud.ie/

    Enjoy!

    Actually the saddle room at the shelbourne were doing 2 courses for €18.50 recently.

    One Pico is also great.

    Had a three course lunch for €25 recently in Thornton's on a Saturday. Pretty nice and the price is a great way to try out the place.

    Chapter one are also doing a deal, but I don't know if it is available Saturday.

    Yip, they are still doing it. Menu looks great actually - and it's on all week. And between 6&7 during the evenings.

    Chapter one is amazing. Peploes is great, Town Bar and Grill is good for lunch too.

    The Dublin forum is good for advice.

    Ok, thanks for al the replies. It's not for me, it's for my lady. Herself and 3 girls head out for dinner/lunch every 2 months, and it's her turn again to organise the venue.

    Chapter One, they've done it, loved it, but would like a different place each time.
    Paddy Gilbauds is expensive, she's thinking bout it though. Think they've had dinner in the Unicorn, she's noted Roly's too.
    Thorntons is an option. Peploes was done before, Town Bar too.
    Will look into The Saddle Room too, and will check the Dublin forum aswell. Cheers everyone!

    The Pearl Brasserie is a nice spot.

    Hugos just off Stephen's Green does excellent dinners, so I bet their lunches are good too.


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,120 ✭✭✭shrapnel222


    the tea room in the clarence is great.

    It may not be Mitchelin starred but their Fois Gras is some of the best I've eaten and every meal I have had there has been prepared extremely competently. I enjoyed my meal there more than the one I had at Town Bar and Grill.

    i've eaten there a few times but still wouldn't call it fine dining. it's pretty basic food. and on top of that it has seriously gone down hill in the last 6 months

    That is true about Roly's: it is safe and consistent. I wouldn't say those things in a complimentary fashion however.
