    Friend of mine is in Dublin on Christmas Day with his two daughters (9 & 5) as his wife is in Hospital there. She can leave for a few hours to go somewhere for dinner. Any suggestions for a young family? Thanks.

    Never heard of any restaurants open on Christmas Day. Some hotels will cater for residents but that's about it.

    I'd say the nearest hotel restaurant would be a good bet. Anybody I've heard of that has had their family dinner out on Christmas day it's been a hotel.

    Places like the Shelbourne will do a Christmas Day lunch, but they are very pricey. I don't know if any of the Chinese or Korean places on Parnell Street plan on opening, but I'd say they would be the only chance of a non-Christmas day dinner at a reasonable price.

    Bewleys in Ballsbridge also do a Christmas lunch. I don't know how worth your while it would be to email them and tell them the situation straight out and see what deal they would do for them.

    It would seem like an ideal opportunity for a hotel chain to get some majorly good publicity. Perhaps by your posting here, someone might see that and do something for them. Lots of people read boards.ie.

    Good luck and I hope your friend's wife is feeling better soon.

    Nice one spurious.

    Unfortunately, the Shelbourne is marked as booked out on their website.

    Bewleys: http://www.bewleyshotels.com/ballsbridge/christmas/christmas-breaks-and-christmas-day-lunch
    About €190 for the 3 of them from info on that page.

    Thanks everyone for your tips. I am working all day Christmas, so will suggest to him to bring up whatever food etc he has and he can use my place, at least it will be a bit more homely. Just need to clean the place up now.lol.
    Thanks again!!!
