    Pearl Brasserie is doing a two-course lunch for E22 which is good value as it's top notch. Went a couple of days ago and had crayfish salad and duck magret, very good indeed.

    Not so much a deal, as cracking value....

    Green Nineteen, Camden Street
    www.green19.ie

    Ate there last night, the food is quality simple fare with decent portions. all main courses 10euro. deserts 5 euro.

    defo will be making this a regular, especially when heading to whelans for a gig...

    Another vote for here from me. Simply, homely food at very cheap prices.

    Ate in Balzac's in the La Stampa Hotel last night. They're running a set menu Monday - Friday evening, three courses for €30.

    The food was excellent, so I would totally recommend it as a more fancy night out.

    I really like the food in Balzac's, but they levy a service charge of 12.5%.

    It does say it is a discretionary charge, to my mind that means you can ask for it to be removed.

    We did ask whether the staff get the money or not last night. We were told by the waitress that they get a precentage of it.

    I've heard off three people I know that half the places no longer accept the card.

    Le Bon Crubeen, on Talbot St.
    http://www.menupages.ie/restaurants/le_bon_crubeen.aspx

    Was there on Friday night, and they were serving the lunch menu up to 9pm.

    That means, 8oz sirloin stake, skinny fries and salad for... €12.50! And very nice it was too. :D Similar prices for other main courses such as lamb shank, etc.

    Desserts & drinks were more normal celtic tiger prices, e.g. €6 or so for dessert.

    There's a new restaurant in Donnybrook called "Tenors Grill Room".
    http://www.tenorsgrillroom.ie/

    Seems to be aiming for a cheap'n'cheerful / family market. All starters €5, all main courses €10. Their flyer claimed wines from €10(!), but when I checked their menu couldn't see anything below €17. Still, €17 ain't bad. Unusual to see a restaurant of this type / location advertising mainly on price, which can make them look a bit cheap & tacky.

    It's hidden away up a side street off the main road through Donnybrook. Strange choice of location for a restaurant of this type. Location would be more suited to a more exclusive restaurant, being hidden away in a posh area. Not sure they'll have the footfall to support a cheap'n'cheerful approach.

    Was scanning the thread for a restaurant to go to tonight - does anyone know if it is necessary to book the Green19? It's gotten great reviews here so I'd love to try it out!

    Cork_girl: You probably should if you have your heart set on eating there! It does tend to fill up.
