Irish Restaurant

kylith

I have some family visiting from abroad and want to bring them out for dinner tonight. Because they're foreign they'd love to have 'proper' Irish food. The Winding Stair is booked up, can anyone recommend a good, not touristy, Irish restaurant?

The Millstone on Dame st has lots of Irish dishes on the menu.

The food there is at worst decent so I'd recommend it.

You realise you were in the Hairy Lemon, not the Hairy Bacon, right?
