    Can anyone recommend a traditional restaurant in the city thats not going to break the bank ??. I had a look at some of the menus in two places in Temple Bar and they seem a little expensive.

    I don't think Ireland has much of a cuisine as such but if you want something which has locally sourced meat and veg and seafood, the Pig's Ear on Nassau st is highly recommended.

    Gallagher's boxty in Temple Bar is not cheap, like OP said. but I still recommend it.
    That gammon fajita-type thing was the best and most unusual thing I've tasted in a long time....

    Yep, the pigs ear is great. Not exactly bacon and cabbage, but good traditional Irish food, black puddings, bangers and mash ect. Go for the early bird.

    I'm bringing a nice girl out for dinner tomorrow and she's a fordiner :D

    She mentioned that she likes traditional Irish food so I was thinking that would be a good idea.

    The farm on dawson st

    Lunch there is great, real homey comfort food, well i find anyway! Dinner prices are a little steep so I would only recommend lunch there.

    Also hear good stuff about The Pigs Ear!

    Has anyone ever been to the Shebeen on Georges Street? Only ever had a peek in and I like the look of it. Seems fairly traditional with a modern twist...

    Shebeen Chic, I don't know if they do food there. Think it's just a pub. I may be wrong though.

    Edit: Yep I was wrong...http://www.ireland-guide.com/establishment/shebeen_chic.7467.html

    I ordered the Guinness stew in flanagans before and all I can say is it was one of the most revolting meals I've ever had in my life. It may be reasonably priced but thats probably for a reason. I wouldn't eat there again if you paid me.

    Thanks for the link, WindSock! I read a review about it in the paper a good while back. They were enthusiastic, but I have a childhood trauma concerning trip and can't imagine I would like pig's trotters, so it's good to know they modernised their menu! Might actually venture in next time I have visitors from foreidn.

    How about the restaurant in the Bewley's hotel in Ballsbridge?

    Its quite traditional Irish but not touristy (despite being in an hotel of course).
    The restaurant is called O'Connell's.

    Its run by Darina Allen's brother too.
