We are heading up to the big smoke for the weekend and are looking for recommendations for central restaurants, relaxed atmosphere and excellent food!! I looked at some previous threads, but there was nothing recent - any suggestions?!
Thank you
 
Was in the Winding Stair, Ormond Quay (near the Ha'penny Bridge) at the weekend and thoroughly enjoyed it in case that's of any use?
 
what kind of price range are you looking at? Is it a romantic evening or a dinner with friends?
 
Trocadero on Andrew's Steet serves great food, great atmosphere and has an early bird menu as well which is great value. You would definitely need to book in advance
 
Was in Town Bar and Grill on Kildare St at the weekend. I went for a corporate dinner, but there was couples and groups there too. Pricey, but food was fab.
 
For a romantic meal Dax on Pembroke Street is great, expensive but worth it.

Odessa on Dame Lane is one of my favourites - have been there loads of times and it never disappoints.

The Bistro on Castle Market has a good atmosphere and great food, particularly the specials every evening.

The Unicorn and Bang on the top of Merrion Row are very popular too.

And for something more cheap and cheerful Havana on George's Street is great - they will let you sit and drink beer and order tapas for hours without trying to reclaim your table!

Have to agree with this, I had a recommendation for this place recently from a website not too far away....and it was top class.

Damn. I was hoping this place would remain one of Dublins hidden gems :) Top quality at good prices

Been reviewed in a few of the national papers in the last couple of weeks, so I think you're out of luck there.
 
Darwins in Aungier Street is superb and not too pricey.
Jacobs Ladder on Nassau St for a special night out
For excellent food at brilliant prices - Yamamori on Georges St

I wouldn't have said that Yamamori has brilliant prices. In my opinion, it's expensive. Very good food, and probably worth it, but it's still expensive.
 
Been to all below and would go back again:

Elephant and Castle (Temple Bar)-Mixed
Luigi Malones (Temple Bar)-Mixed
Mexico to Rome (Temple Bar)-Mexican and Italian
Little Ceasers (Temple Bar)-Mixed
Il Vignardo (Store St.)-Italian
Papaya (Ely Place)-Thai
Chai Yo (Baggot St.)-Chinese/Thai
The Chameleon (Temple Bar)-Indonesian (need to book)

All would be 'relaxed' IMHO.
 
Peploes on St. Stephens Green is fantastic and you can go for drinks afterwards or before to The Fitzwilliam Hotel and they serve wonderful cocktails. Another fab place to eat in town is Chapter One, very pricey but if it is a special night you will love it!!

Have a good night!
 
Thank you for all of the great suggestions!! Looking forward to a couple lovely dinners.
 
Montys of Katmandu in temple bar. Yum Nepalese food and quite reasonable too.

Thanks for all of the great suggestions. We had a lovely weekend. We ended up going to Yamamori Noodles one night and Cafe Bar Deli the next - really enjoyed the food and relaxed atmosphere in both places.
We had lunch at the deli counter at Fallon and Byrne - delicious!!!
Looking forward to the next weekend in Dublin so we can try out some of the other recommendations.
 
Can't believe nobody mentioned Diep La Shaker..................top class, great atmosphere, pricey but worth it. Next time maybe!
