From the same team as The Green Hen and Farrier & Draper comes this elegant restaurant, bistro and bar, offering French and European-inspired dishes, with an emphasis on the finest local ingredients. The atmosphere is excellent, combining old world elegance and contemporary design, with cooking that is imaginative and very, very tasty. There’s a lovely private dining room for special events. Cocktails? Gin Trays from €20 are fab.

Best Dish: Dry-Aged Fillet of Beef with Roast Portobello Mushroom, Caramelised Onion, Fries & Bearnaise – €32
