7 irish rooms in Dublin we have eaten in, sorted by editor score. All cuisines in Dublin | Irish across every city.
Modern Irish cooking is the heart of how Dublin eats, built on local produce and the city's deep pub-kitchen tradition. Spitalfields in the Liberties and Delahunt in Portobello lead the contemporary wave, while Bastible, also in Portobello, takes the style to its most refined. For the traditional canon, Gallagher's Boxty House in Temple Bar keeps boxty and coddle at the centre of the plate.
