    Folks,
    As the title says, is there any hidden gems for no-nonsense food in the city centre? It can be a pub or not, not too bothered (I do like a pint with my food!)

    We've been to the Mongolian Place in Temple Bar before which is great value but this time we're not after an all-you-can-eat, just a decent feed of decent food for reasonable money

    Thanks

    Black Sheep on Capel Street. You'll need to be there before 7 or get pretty lucky to get a seat though. Food is superb and they have an excellent selection of craft beers.

    The Exchequer, but stay in the bar. Nice simple menu.

    The International for a no nonsense bowl of stew is very handy too.

    I like Davy Byrne's for a pint and small plate of salmon prawns and brown bread.

    This may not be exactly what your looking for but this blog has some pretty good gems in it

    http://eatforafiver.com/

    just someone who finds places who do food for under a 5er in dublin city and reviews it.

    ....actually on re -reading your OP this isnt what your after at all, but worth a look anyway for sometime your looking for a quick lunch somewhere reasonable.

    check out gotham cafe near grafton street had a really enjoyable meal there recently best pizza in dublin id dare to say too http://www.gothamcafe.ie/find.html

    Worscht (sp) in George's arcade for really good sausages, Bunson (on Wexford St) for Burgers would be two that come to mind...

    Toss'd in the CHQ, fantastic Thai curry for a tenner.
