How long's a piece of string Des? Depends on what you're after?

Burgers - Bunsen
BBQ - My Meat Wagon
Chicken - Camden Rotisserie
Asian - Neon (Camden St)
Tapas - Zaragoza (Early bird)
Seafood - Catch 22 (St Anne St)
Pizza - Skinflint (Temple Bar) Independent (Drumcondra)
Italian - Caffe Italiano (Temple Bar), Da Mimmo (North Strand)
Fusion - Soder & Ko
Pub Grub - Brewdock

The two Italian spots while not exactly trendy do absolutely ****ing cracking food.

Also keep an eye on thetaste.ie for bargain deals. You can frequently get three courses plus a bottle of wine for €50 on there. I buy about one a month as my bargain treat and have yet to be disappointed

That's an amazing list.

Some of my fave places to eat in Dublin are on there. Well played!

Possibly the wrong end of town for you Baldy, but on the South Circular both Bastible and Union 8 are new and getting some great reviews.

That's a great list from CSON... I wonder if you had thrown in a currently non-trendy eatery there.... would it start trending immediately?

Yamammori Izakia on George's st. It can be expensive but they do a €12 deal Amazing Japanese Burger, big basket of sweet potato fries with anchovy dip and a nice Japanese beer of the day. Can't beat it for value.

It'll be interesting to see how Bastible gets on. That site has been a graveyard for restaurants/cafes over the years.

Another one that sprung to mind; Fish & Chips: Super Miss Sue at the end of Drury Lane (I think). Across from P Macs too which would another one of the trendy craft brew spots if you fancy a drink after. If you fancy a non alcoholic drink then Accents is also right across from you and do super coffee.

I'd also add in Taco Taco and WOW Burger as options.

Musashi on Capel Street is incredible. The Bento box lunch is €10 and amazing (It might be only Monday to Friday though). Their main courses are about €13/14 and massive. You need to book 1/2 weeks in advance though.

Fumbally for breakfast - best eggs in Dublin

Muahahaha

This article about lunch for €5 in Dublin might give a couple of ideas

Been meaning to try Mamas Revenge on Nassau St, their chilli beef and cheese nachos look amazing

Any fans of Indian food? Down at the Mespil market, I love picking up a curry from Kerala Kitchen. Now they've opened up their own place on Baggot St.

I'd agree with that list apart from chicken. Crackbird is way nicer that Camden Rotisserie.

Fowl Play in the Square Ball pub on Hogan Place is actually better than both of them.

I've never heard of them. Must check it out. Thanks for the suggestion.

They are kinda biased since most places pay to be reviewed by them.

nuckeythompson

Agree with the above. Very biased and can assure you some of the reviews are highly overrated

I find them informative insofar as I have the choice of immediately avoiding anywhere rated highly by people like 'Harbo'.

He was sued for slamming a restaurant even though he admitted in the review that he hadn't eaten there.

The guy's a bizarre parody character of himself.

Muahahaha

Ate in My Meat Wagon at the weekend, had the Cow in a Box for €12.50 with chips and slaw. I've a pretty big appetite and went in there hungry but couldn't finish it. It was a bit awkward eating out of a box towards the end, I would have preferred it on a plate. My only real complaint though was the music was a bit too loud and a conversation difficult at times. I'd still go back though.

Would sodor and ko be too loud and busy to bring friends for food around 9 on a Saturday do people think?

It's very very loud in there and I wouldn't be a big fan of that, but the food is decent.

That place is amazing... I'd highly recommend trying the beans as a side if you're there again.

Another vote for My Meat Wagon. Amazing food. The platter for 2 is great, a bit of everything and loads of sides.
