One of the reasons why local foodies have been flooding back to Temple Bar, this imaginative wine bar scores ten out of ten for both flair and value with a remarkable €3 tapas menu that includes Confit Duck Gizzard, Lardo Bitter Honey, and a Smoked Eel and White Bean combination, which we guarantee will have your purring with delight.  There are also more substantial mains – you can’t go wrong with the Orecchiette or Grilled Octopus – and an extremely cheeky selection of French, Italian and Spanish vintages, which the aptly named Enrico Fantasia imports himself.

Best Dish: Half-Dozen Oysters with Bread, Butter & Anchovies Cream – €12
