Aniar’s next-door neighbour has its own farm in Moycullen, which for much of the year keeps it in fresh veg and eggs. Fish and seafood appear on lots of menus locally, but no one does them quite as magnificently as Dela who are big fans of the Scandinavian way of eating. That said, they’re also flag-wavers for artisan Irish producers like Bellingham Blue, Hegarty’s Cheddar and 5 Miletown, who all grace their cheese platter. “Not all brunches are created equally” proclaims the menu, and that’s certainly true of the weekend wonderfulness at Dela, which includes a stupendous Braised Beef Cheek Melt on Sourdough with Chips. 

Best Dish:  Brady’s Dry Aged Striploin with Truffle Mash, Red Onion Compote, Green Peppercorn Sauce or Garlic Butter – €26
