Best french fries / "frites" (not chips) in Dublin?

    French fries/chips in Ireland seem to be either:

    * chipper - thick cut from real spuds
    * down-market restaurant - standard frozen chips, quite bland
    * up-market restaurant - pretentious "thick cut" chips, never crispy enough for my liking

    Does anyone know any good restaurants in Dublin that do proper thin-cut "frites" / "french fries", not chips? Preferably with a side-order of char-grilled steak :D

    I had just this in Fitzer's on Dawson Street the other day at lunch. Pretty good fries, they were almost shoe-string in the size.

    Bit pricey though, it was my "spoil myself" lunch for the month.

    The restaurant in Harvey Nicks in Dundrum do garlic shoestring fries which are yummy. Chunky chips with the steak I afraid, but they are yummy too:)

    I was in FXB's in Temble Bar recently, and their fries looks like they'd been cut from real potatoes (with skins on), and were nice and thinly cut too, but they were limp and greasy, instead of crisp & crunchy :(

    The search goes on...

    (Must visit the Elephant & Castle sometime soon - they always had nice fries, and good burgers too...)
