This highly selective, full colour guide will take you to the very best of Irish hospitality, north and south. The perfect digital detox.
The restaurants of Temple Bar have perhaps had more than their fair share of criticism and our next award-winner is living proof that it is possible to offer both quality and value in this much-maligned part of the city: Ireland’s first Vietnamese restaurant is in a simple room in Cope Street and has been open since 2004. It is earning a loyal following among discerning diners who appreciate the freshness of flavour and authenticity of the cooking, the willing, helpful staff - and the sheer good value that is offered. The head chef, Anh Le, comes here from the 5* Hanoi Horizon Hotel, and guests blessed with culinary curiosity will find much to reward them in the more unusual dishes - including a fish casserole house speciality, Ca Kho To.
