What about 'Wagamama', whilst not particularly upmarket, it offers delicious vegetarian alternatives and a relaxed, informal atmosphere. As a veggie for the last 16 years, I can highly recommend! And Japan at least is diversion from India!!!
Or better yet, hop on the train to Cork and go to Cafe Paradiso, by far the best of them all.......yum!

If you are in Dublin a friend of mine has often mentioned what a good vegetarian choice Darwins on Aungier Street has.
Is Cornucopia still on the go? - was a very nice veggie place about 10 years ago (Dublin 1 or 2 area somewhere)
Edit: yes, still there: http://www.cornucopia.ie/

Quality Dublin restaurants with good veggie options
Ms Caveat is vegetarian and we want to go for a really good meal.
Does anyone know what the vegetarian options are like in the better known quality places? (e.g. Thornton's, L'écrivain etc).
Would prefer if possible not to go to an exclusively veggie place (I'm a bit of a carnivore) but if the likes of the above mentioned only offer token/dull veggie options then we wouldn't bother with them.
Indians always offer good veggie options but want something different if possible...

This thread is also discussing something similiar which may be of interest if the better known quality places don't have good vegetarian options

Re: Quality Dublin restaurants with good veggie options
thanks, yes I actually contributed to the other thread too!
Started this as I specifically wanted an excellent, 'among the best in the country', type place - but there may of course be useful info on the other thread too.

Ooops sorry Caveat - hadn't noticed that!

I'm a veggie too & find that most restaurants offer a vegetarain "option" of something crap like stir fried veg. I think the "option" is I eat or don't eat it!!
I eat out a lot for work & find the more expensive the restaurant the less choice for veggies.
My favourites for good veggie menus are The Winding Stair & 101 Talbot.

Re: Quality Dublin restaurants with good veggie options
Thanks Batty
Yep. Stir fries are the classic alright. or "vegetable pasta bake" or something.
What kind of things could we expect in The Winding Stair & 101 Talbot?

Re: Quality Dublin restaurants with good veggie options
Thanks Cahir - is this the Leabanese place? if so, I think I know of it.
Do you reckon it's truly special then rather than just 'good'?

Re: Quality Dublin restaurants with good veggie options
Yep, it's the Lebanese place on Andrew Street. They have another restaurant above it, I think it's called Byblos, it's good too but not as good.
I personally think it's truly special and really good for vegetarians.

Should give you a flavour - they both also dod a good selection of nightly specials.
I also find many restaurants have fish-conceptions about vegetarians. . No - vegetarians do not eat fish.

Re: Quality Dublin restaurants with good veggie options
i'm fairly certain l'ecrivain have a vegetarian tasting menu though unfortunately i've never been, must rectify that this year. another restaurant with a separate veggie menu is the pearl brasserie which i thought was great.
so for really special l'ecrivain would win out i'd say.
of course if you wanted to make a weekend of it, i'd go to www.cafeparadiso.ie in cork best vegetarian restaurant in the world. you can even stay upstairs too, their breakfasts are sensational.

I am not a vegetarian, but, can vouch for Cornucopia, as I go there with Ms. Carpedeum regularly. I was there last week during bag carrying duty and was impressed. Can be a bit cramped and you sit next to other diners, but, most people are sound. Good sized and good quality main courses for about €12. Coffee is as good as anywhere else. Soups looked very good. Free filtered water.
"i'm fairly certain l'ecrivain have a vegetarian tasting menu"
I go regularly to L'Ecrivain (for business not personal choice) & I have never seen even a vegetarian option. I have often rung ahead requesting a vegetarian meal & on the day I would be presented with stir fry/pasta 30 minutes LATER than the rest of our party.
