    I recently moved out to the country. Well about 25 mins from city center. (the country to me) Does anyone know of any decent restaurants on the outskirts of Dublin.

    I'm thinkin out as far as Naas and in as far as Lucan.

    If you're willing to travel as far as Saggart I've heard good things about The Anvil Restaurant. Been meaning to give it a go myself.
    There's also Browns Barn in Citywest which ain't bad.

    There's a restaurant and a cafe here, both excellent. Really nice setting too.
    Cafe is great during the day for lunch, and good value too.

    Saggart. I will try that. They look only 5 mins off the motorway.

    Lyons estate. Ive heard of it but it looks a bit off the beaten track. Is it expensive?

    Poitin still at the end of Rathcoole, as been said brown barn, and then a bit nearer dublin Joels,which personally I am not to fond of,there is also a restaurant in the hotel beside it, Also there is kingwood house near the newish maldren hotel at the city west exit and last but not least avoca has a restarant along that way to.

    Menu on the Lyons Village website:

    Cafe menu is here:

    They do afternoon tea there in the cafe too. It's not far off the main roads, definitely worth a visit for the whole setting. Great looking place.

    Lovely little Tapas Bar in Naas called Las Rada if you like Tapas. Great atmosphere there.

    Couple more nice ones in Naas, Vie De Chateaux (expensive enough) but nice.

    Kasturi Indian in Lucan, used to be great when I lived there about 6 years ago, not sure what it is like now

    Personally, I think the Anvil is just ok, and expensive for what you get and Joels is a no no.

    Beckett's in Leixlip is nice.

    Big fan of La Banca in Lucan, not really cheap but lovely food

    Reeds in the River in the village is nice too

    Yeah, really like La Banca. The upstairs Tapas Fusion place is decent as well.

    I was really impressed the few times I've been to Reeds on the River.

    If you want to head closer to the city, the Anglers Rest currently has a really good menu.

    Da Vinci is nice in Leixlip but Leixlip House is really good. As for in around Lucan, i havent found anything that blown me away.

    Da Vinci's is a poor mans Italian. Can believe people still eat there.

    Thats because its not really an Italian, its a mixture of thai and Italian.

    Miles ahead of La Blanca also. That place has had more owners over the last few years but still serves poor food, there is a reason why it struggles.

    When was the last time you were in La Banca? I agree that previous owners/chefs havent been up to much but the current chef (I think hes the owner too) is really good. Food is great, nice staff. Excellent seafood. You should check it out again

    Same here. I bought a €55 voucher valid against all food / drinks for €22 a few days ago

    I just checked and this deal has expired. Interestingly, there is a deal for €22 for 2 starters and 2 main courses in Lucan Golf Club, prepared by the same chef as in La Banca :)

    Bought that as well. I love those deals :cool:
