In this series, our 香港六合彩即时开奖 locals share the restaurant and bar recommendations they tell friends coming to town about. This week, Sasha Brady, a Dublin-based editor who鈥檚 always looking for the best new places to eat, shares the five places she encourages anyone visiting Dublin to try.

Dublin punches well above its weight when it comes to its thriving food and drink scene. The city is home to so many great places to eat that whittling this list down to just five spots almost seems cruel. You鈥檇 need at least a few weeks (and a generous budget - this city is expensive) to really get a feel for the dynamic culinary scene here, but in the meantime, if you're here for a short time and a good time, don't leave Dublin without visiting some of these five spots.

Note, south city center

Why should I go: Follow the , and you鈥檒l see why critics have been singing the praises of this stylish wine bar and bistro.

What鈥檚 the vibe? Perfectly polished Scandinavian minimalism from the decor to the clientele (everyone here dresses like an architect). It's an excellent spot to bookmark if you鈥檙e traveling solo; there are seats at the bar where it鈥檚 easy to strike up a conversation with someone over a glass of wine and nibbles.

What should I order? Some of the most creative cooking in Dublin is happening at , and whether you show up for lunch, dinner, or just a plate of cured sardines and a glass of wine, it will always feel like a treat here. Each dish coming out of head chef Essa Fakhry鈥檚 kitchen is brimming with flavor and color, with everything from the harissa-marinated quail with burnt orange and aioli to the butter-soft c么te de boeuf, all beautifully presented without faff. Choose a few dishes to share, along with a great bottle of wine.

What about drinks? There鈥檚 no shortage of exciting natural wines to drink so long as your budget allows it - there are only three bottles priced below 鈧40. But if you don鈥檛 want to commit to a bottle, sommelier Kate Seward will find you something interesting to have by the glass with her carefully curated options that change daily. There are also beers and non-alcoholic drinks, and cocktails, like the Cherry Cherry, that are as stylish as they are strong.

Where should I go after? The lounge-style atmosphere of Note is made for lingering, but if you want to keep the drinks flowing after closing time, head to The Ginger Man pub, which is usually buzzing seven nights a week.

Variety Jones, The Liberties

Why should I go? To experience Michelin-stared food made with local ingredients cooked over an open fire in one of Dublin鈥檚 loveliest neighborhoods. This is where I send people in the mood for something special.

What鈥檚 the vibe? This cozy hideaway space has no sign above the door; you鈥檇 probably walk if it weren鈥檛 for the warm glow of the restaurant鈥檚 soft lights inviting you to take a second look. Despite the Michelin star and the unanimous critical praise, there is nothing stuffy about . It鈥檚 warm, relaxed, and sophisticated without even a hint of snobbishness.

What should I order? Before we even think about food, I must warn you that to secure a spot, you must be well prepared. Bookings open two months in advance (December鈥檚 bookings open on October 15 at midday GMT) and usually sell out within a few feverish hours. It鈥檚 worth giving them a for alerts on last-minute openings through cancelations. If you do get in the door - phew! - you鈥檒l be treated to a small and seasonal chef鈥檚 choice sharing menu that鈥檚 all smoke and char and delicious. The menu is divided into snacks, cold, warm, pasta, family-style, and after (dessert), and there are generally one or two options under each heading. It can be tweaked to suit pescatarian diets but not complete vegetarian or vegan requirements.

What about drinks? An organic wine list that鈥檚 robust enough to complement the dialed-up flavors of the dishes coming from the kitchen.

Where should I go after? You鈥檙e in the distillery heart of Dublin, so you can easily pay a visit to the , , or whiskey distilleries. The is about a 15-minute walk away. If you want a late-night drink: , , and the LGBTQ-centric are always good options.

惭补尘贸, Howth

Why should I go? To enjoy a lovely day trip to the seaside village of Howth and eat in a restaurant that鈥檚 consistently . Ingredients are sourced nearby, with much of the seafood coming straight off the boats in Howth Harbour.

What鈥檚 the vibe? Great food and great views aren鈥檛 supposed to mix (one usually takes precedence over the other), but , with its light-drenched views of Howth Harbor and inventive contemporary Irish cooking, is an exception to the rule.

What should I order? Like all of the restaurants on this list, the menu is seasonal, but if you happen to stop by when the bluefin tuna tartlet or Lough Neagh smoked eel are on the menu, order them - there鈥檚 something incredibly special in eating fresh-off-the-boat fish just meters from the sea. But it鈥檚 not only seafood that鈥檚 turned out well here: it鈥檚 a stronger person than me who can resist 惭补尘贸鈥檚 crispy rosemary and garlic potatoes or chargrilled broccoli and spiced almonds with yogurt for dipping. And you can鈥檛 come to Dublin without trying Irish lamb. 惭补尘贸鈥檚 Moroccan take on Irish lamb - belly, shoulder, and rump with couscous, pistachio, and chantennay carrots from McNally鈥檚 Farm - is a must-try.

Where should I go after? A walk along Howth Pier, a hike through the cliffs, a visit to the , or enjoy a pint of Guinness in .

Hakkahan, Stoneybatter

Why should I go? If you鈥檙e looking for knockout food with budget-friendly prices, this Siuchan-focused Chinese restaurant in Stoneybatter is it. Suppliers are local and named (meats come from Dublin institution and organic veg is sourced from the greengrocer next door), and every dish is priced under 鈧16, which is almost unheard of in Dublin, especially for cooking of this quality.

What鈥檚 the vibe? This neighborhood favorite is a small, casual, and blush-pink space that鈥檚 perpetually busy. Service is quick, efficient, and incredibly warm.

What should I order? Order something from each section of the menu, especially if there鈥檚 more than one of you. I recommend getting at least one portion of dumplings (each portion has four servings - except the spicy kimchi dumplings, which come with six - so they鈥檙e made for sharing) and the pillow-soft Chinese scallion bread. Add some small chow dishes like the perfectly seasoned pork yuk sun or mouth-numbing spicy cucumber salad for a zingy burst of freshness. Highlights from the main dishes include the basil Silverhill duck and the crisp-edged, stir-fried aubergines.

What about drinks? A carefully considered wine menu with choices like Spanish Albari帽o and German Pinot Noir. Prices start at 鈧23 for a bottle, 鈧13 for a carafe, and 鈧6 for a glass. There are also cocktails, craft beers, and non-alcoholic options.

Where should I go after? One of Dublin鈥檚 coziest cinemas, the , is about a five-minute walk away. If you鈥檙e looking for a drink, you鈥檙e spoiled for choice in Stoneybatter with wine bars like and and pubs such as , , and .

Mr. Fox, north city center

Why should I go? It鈥檚 the sort of restaurant you wish you had in your neighborhood, where you can skip the decision-making and enjoy reliably delicious dishes from the seasonal tasting menu brimming with excellent Irish ingredients.

What鈥檚 the vibe? Despite its location in the basement of a historic Georgian townhouse, there鈥檚 no pretentiousness at : just excellent Irish cooking in a warm and cozy setting that almost feels like your much grander home from home.

What should I order? Dinner is a 鈧70 set tasting menu that changes monthly. Most dishes on the menu are a combination of veg, seafood, and meat; depending on what鈥檚 in season, you might be treated to trout dressed with cucumber and caviar; a St Tola, walnut praline, and beetroot tart topped with blackcurrant; or a classic that鈥檚 done consistently well here: beef with Pommes dauphine. The set menu can be tweaked for specific dietary requirements.

What about drinks? There鈥檚 an extensive drinks list that leans heavily on Spanish, Italian, and French wines; by-the-glass options are always selected to suit the seasonality of ingredients on the dinner menu.

Where should I go after? There are some great cultural attractions nearby, including, , and the . For dancing and drinks, try .
