Dublin — Where We Ate & Drank
We've eaten and drunk our way through 10 Dublin bars and restaurants, from Etto's modern European plates to Liath's two-Michelin-star hideaway in Blackrock.
Wider Dublin rewards leaving the tourist core: Etto and Uno Mas hold down the modern-European end, Liath hides two Michelin stars in a Blackrock market, and Pygmalion pours to a courtyard crowd. We've covered 9 restaurants and 1 bar across the city, focusing on spots that pull us back beyond the usual Temple Bar circuit.
St. Patrick's Festival marks the obvious calendar peak; June through September offer the friendlier window. See our Dublin 2 list for the city-center picks.
