Find Bunsen and Five Guys are more takeaway style ( extremely good quality in fairness, but id pick up a five guys for a quick bite before the cinema in Dundrum)  Crap

Hen parties galore. That aside, good value for money and great service.  Proof pizza - quick bite before a gig at vicar street - bland, tasteless pizza. Had heard good things. Shame.

Best steak I've had has been tomahawk in temple bar, bit pricey though.

For cheap-ish eats in Dublin, there's a spot called Masa down by Hairy Lemon that I relaly like. Does Tacos and mexican foods. Lots of plates for about 5-6 euro. probably need 2/3 for a feed but works out rasonbaly well. Get dinner for 2 and a few beers for €40/50

Another steak place. Was grand but left still hungry.  headed to Darwins on Sat night - expect it to be as good as the last two times

When ye find a good restaurant that you like do you just find yourself going back there all the time, or like to branch out more often?

Seems like there's a lot of places that myself and the other half talk about going to but usually end back in the same old places. As kids, for any birthday celebration, communion or confirmation it was always Blakes in Stillorgan, then Joels opened at Newlands Cross and that was the parents new favorite place. The mother still wants to bring me there for birthdays.   Bit of a trek for me but whenever i passed that place as a kid i was always taken by the american diner feel and wanted to check it out. Went about 3 years ago and couldnt wait to leave. Full of kids running around everywhere

Its where all the yahoos from Tallaght,Clondalkin and Ballyfermot go for occasions. It’s like a Michelin restaurant to them

Bujo
