Sorry, can't help there, usually just use Croker for matches and hit home/town after for food.
There is a chipper near Quinns pub, "Some like it hot", that does lovely burgers, but far from the type of meal you’re looking for I know.
Have to say the one I'd suggest is Boccaccio on Dame St.. The food is excellent any time I've been and the atmosphere is always fun and friendly (or romantic depending on the time and the company you’re with).
Find it strange that I usually end up ordering the fillet steak in an Italian, but I can't praise it enough. Been a few months since my last visit, but knowing the staff (you'll usually see the owner/manager(ess) in there ensuring top quality is always maintained) I'm sure the quality is still there.
(Quick review of it and others here [broken link removed])
Elephant and Castle in Temple Bar is always a good spot.
Yamamori Noodles (Japanese) on Georges St. does great food; the sea food is top notch.
Good World (Chinese) on the other side of the street was great too but have never been to either often enough to really praise them.
