Confit of Duck Leg in La Cave, South Anne Street.

Scallops in Marco Pierre Whites Courtyard in Donnybrook.

Cataplana (fish stew) in 53 Avenue, Killester (this a special so phone in advance to make sure it's on)

Dublin Bay Prawns in Bistro Martello, Sandycove (sadly temporarily shut due to a fire)

hfallada

Queen of tarts for cakes, pastries. Coffee angel is really good for coffee.

I like Bunsen on Wexford St for a Burger and chips

Scrambled eggs in the Fumbally are very good

Calamari in the Kitchen on South Anne St are tasty - the risottos are excellent also, but I think they are specials as opposed to an everyday menu items

Superfood Salad and the Cabbage Rolls in Alchemy on Grafton St are great (upstairs in BT2)

Viola on Baggot St are great for healthy wraps and their fish specials are delicious too

BadMoonRising

Lolly and cooks in Georges St arcade do amazing cakes etc.
Bald Barista on Stephens Green and 3FE in Grand Canal Dock for coffee.
Green Bench off Harcourt Street for sandwiches

Without doubt the best fish & chips in the city centre.

When I'm in town shopping or whatever i always put an hour or two aside and head into the epicurean food hall and have a little bit of everything. I wouldn't be a big fan of Mexican food but the burrito place in there is effin delicious!The Greek place in there does lovely food too,
and all of the other places have interestin grub aswell and and all of them are easy on the wallet

Good "signature dish" thread Shadowcomplex. Great opener there with E&C chicken wings... classic.

Shellfish Platter, Super Miss Sue. Expensive, but a great treat.

Alaskan king crab, lobster, crab claws, gambas, oysters, mussels and clams.

Chicken and Chorizo - Market Bar.

Yeah AFAIK. I wish you could get kebabs cheaper here. In Germany they were only €4 max and amazing. My favourite was Egyptian style Kebabs. They were so good I queued for 2 hours to get one after the world cup final

Burritos from Boojum near Jervis.
Burger at the Counter on Suffolk Street.
Brunch or some nice steak from the Whitefriar Grill on Angier St.
Coffee from Bewleys (or Butlers sometimes).
BBQ food from Pitt Bros on Georges St.
Pizza from Independent Pizza Co in Drumcondra or Gotham Cafe off Grafton St.
Sandwiches from Juniors on Bath Avenue (the chargrilled chicken sandwich is the best!).

A few places need to try in the new year so this is subject to change possibly shortly.

roadsmart

Indo pizza Drumcondra is pizza Mecca.

I will add Ribs from Bison Bar on Wellington St to this list, and a cooked breakfast (all day) from Cafe Sofia on Wexford St

Two to add to this - Black Sheep on Capel St does a fantastic steak burger. Only downfall is the chips, they're massive and not nice but if you ask they'll do them smaller so they actually cook. And on behalf of my boyfriend, the Smoked Mexicano galette in Lemon on Dawson St. He insists on substituting nutmeg spinach for the tomato though, you should know.

Dancor

Any sandwich from Deli 147 on Parnell Street.

The Calamari is the Black Sheep are excellent also

Agree on the chips - far too big, middle of them ends up hard and not fully cooked

Large portions in the Black Sheep also

Bluezar

Fillet Steak from FX Buckley's - Pembroke Street!

Slunk

Cabbage soup in pifko. Had three bowls of it one day. Absolutely delicious and good for lining the stomach for some great beers in there. Lunch special for soup and sambo @7.95 is great. Usually grilled pork or turkey ciabatta with a handful of chips plus soup.

Steak - Beeftro (in town or Dundrum Town Centre)

Burgers - Bunsen

I wasn't mad about the chicken. That the one in breadcrumb? Did really like the carbonara though, forgot about that.

In there at least once a week, most weeks we get a steak burger. Can't believe they've gotten rid of the sweet potato wedges!
