Thai Gardens in Blanchardstown, Dublin 15 is my favourite restaurant. Best Thai food I've ever tasted and never had a bad meal there. Red curry is to die for

The Port House tapas restaurant on South William St in Dublin, great candlelit atmosphere, and YUMMY food!

The Mongolian Barbeque in Temple Bar in Dublin - might seem a bit expensive, but definitely worth going to! Lovely food, great fun if you go there in a bigger group (although having a date there is fun too ), and the experience of making your own food and then watching it being prepared... - just a must go place!

Nice competition, btw

My favourite restaurant is l'Ecrivan, 109A Lower Baggot St, in Dublin, it's a bit Celtic tiger due to it's prices so I won't be frequenting the place, but it's well worth spoiling yourself every now and again (wedding anniversary or birthday). I've never had anything other than spectacular food, perfect service and the fact that you can always see Derry Clarke working in the kitchen and his wife is a great host, makes for an altogether special dining experience.

My favourite restaurant in Dublin is Chapter One's - amazing food, excellent service, they really look after you, its great for a special treat, and the pre-theatre makes it really affordable, no snobbery, just really good food and the staff are so attentive, definately my favourite

Greenes restaurant in Cork has to be the nicest I have ever been to.
The food is beautiful and the staff are so friendly. They really know there wines so when you want something new or a bit different they will recommend something to suit you perfectly!

Also I must say one thing I always get excited about is the free mini starters they send out. Each time we have been there the chef has some creation of the day he sends out as a mini starter to everyone - it's always yummy!

If you go though make sure to ask for a table with a view of the waterfall. It's absolutely beautiful and perfect for a romantic night out.

Taking into account the food, the staff, the ambience - the price is excellent and you walk away having had a wonderful night and a satisfied happy belly

My favourite restaurant has gotta be Giovanni's in Malahide, in Dublin. Great friendly place, staff are wonderful, delicious Italian food, a nice relaxing atmosphere, with none of the snootiness of places that seem to take themselves too seriously. Never had a bad experience there!

My favourite restaurant is Shebeen Chic on Georges Street in Dublin because I heart the vintage decor, it is delightful and very unusual, also the traditional Irish food is like a big warm comforting hug on a plate. :-)

My Fav in Dublin is The Trocadero, the food is nice and not to complicated, you always feel welcome, service has always been excellent.

To add to it all, each visit has always left long lasting and fond memories.

The feel of the place is just right and real Dublin.

...my 2 cent

I have always been a big fan of The Trocadero on St.Andrew st. Always end up there whenever we plan one of our rare trips to the big smoke. Great food and even nicer atmosphere.

Edit:Just saw someone agrees with me two posts up

Great to see a competition like this drumming up so much attention and getting people to share their favourite eateries!

My top of the league hotel would have to be The Fitzwilliam on Stephen's Green - simply due to great memories with our Australian friends, efficient service and a room with a stunning view over Stephen's Green park.

Favourite restaurant is a tougher choice, but who wants to know about that! I have many favs, many regular haunts, but would have to give a shout to a recent enough, more than pleasant discovery - Harry's on Dawson Street.

I have to give it to them! A real upside to times of economic downturn is trying new restaurants, with more attractive, palatable prices and discovering a little gem. Harry's is one of these.

I have been to many restaurants in and around Harry's vicinity over the years and there are quite a number of them I feel could learn a thing or two in honest, good quality food, and service with a smile from warm, genial staff.

A heartfelt thumbs-up from this sated diner!

For me it has to be the montrose Hotel on the Stilorgan Road. Has Bus and Dart services, reasonable rooms, a nice bar and access to the heart of the city.

El_Dangeroso

Favourite restaurant is Cava in Galway.

My favourite restaurant is The Canal Bank just off Leeson Street, amazing food and great service. Try the chicken wings for a starter but make sure you share, the portion is massive!

Favourite place must be Simon's Place in George's Arcade, Dublin, great atmosphere inside with gorgeous sandwiches which always remind me of Dublin.

Favourite restaurant at the moment is Port House (tapas) on South William St (Dublin), lovely atmosphere, very cosy, perfect for a date, fantastic tapas and a good wine list, all makes for a delish night out:)
