Favourite/recommended Restaurant

Shred

OK people, I'm going out for a meal this Saturday and I've been to a lot of restaurants before - Little Caesars, Noble House, Tante Zoes and Eastern Tandoori being among the best...

So, I'm just wondering if some of you could recommend your favourite restaurant as I'd like to try somewhere different (and reasonably priced of course )

Italian or Indian preferrably, but any cuisine will do - and it's not important where (in Dublin) it is

If you want a good steakhouse either Thunder road or in the burbs.. There is one in Liffey vally.. Spur steakhouse i think..

Well I can recommend the Thai Orciad near Trin. It is a lovely Thai resturant with a very well put together menu. I posted up something like this long ago so heres the link . Enjoy!!!

Italian:

I'd recommend Sal-é-Pepe (Italian for "Salt and Pepper") in Malahide. It's above the Ulster Bank in the middle of the village. Nice place, lovely food, good prices,- and run by lovely people. It's small and cosy and almost always busy though so you may want to book ahead.

Indian:

It's well worth trying out the Langkawi restaurant on Baggot Street. Known as Dubllin's "original ethnic restaurant" and nicknamed "Lankers" by "those in the know", they serve "laid back Indonesian, Indian and Malaysian comfort food". Slightly beyond the city centre - but definitely worth the trip.

El Bahia - its a Moroccan rest. cous cous royal being the meal I always order, extreemly tasty! especially with a nice red wine.
its got a really authentic atmosphere, the music, the decor. the staff are great (I always ask for the little smoking room upstairs, it's very intimate) its situated close to Tower Records - ph: 6770213
the only annoying thing is they have sit down times - when you book its either for 7.30 or 9.30 - this only applys for Fri/Sat nights.
other than that, no complaints.
last time I was there it took a while for the food to arrive, but I was not bothered 'cos we had gone through a bottle of wine and was talking so much I didn't notice

Dobbins Bistro, on Lr. Mount Street is my all-time top Dub resto.

Bit posh, bit steep, bit superb.

For anyone who knows the movie Educating Rita - her workplace scenes were shot in Dobbins.

For Chinese, its the Orchid Szechuan in Ballsbridge. Less steep than Dobbins, but still at the low end of expensive.

In town, Fitzers in Temple Bar is pretty excellent, or if you fancy something very different, then its has to be The Chameleon.

I'm sure there's others, but my mind is gone blank.

Visited El Bahia off Wicklow St last Friday. Very Morrocan, excellent service, good value. Morrocan wine was a pleasant surprise.

Elysium in Dunville Avenue is good too although a bit more pricey.

for italian try Mario's in terenure, gorgeous, but you can't book, just have to chance your luck! Buona Sera in Dundrum is nice too, but they play naff music...that's amoré

TKs on baggot for thai...mmmmm!

Wagamamma, of course is always an option, if only for those dumplings and plum wine!

I have heard good things about the Mongolian Barbeque. Its all you can eat and its dirt cheap. They will cook any kind of sauce into the meat. One of their sauces is beer!! P.S. Its in Temple Bar. Got down the right of Central Bank and take a right and its on the left passed Tambouli

Sorry Kayos, I figured as much, but I registered in September last - your post is from July. Thanks either way:)

Thanks for all your suggestions folks, I haven't tried most of those

I have tried the Mongolian Barbeque (about 2-3years ago) and 'twas quite saucey (you'll excuse the pun of course:p )
