The younger big city sibling of Waterford’s Michelin-starred Cliff House Hotel, this art deco-style restaurant offers food that’s as accomplished as the atmosphere is welcoming. One of the best examples of modern Irish cooking based around seasonal artisan ingredients, they do particularly wondrous things with fish and seafood. If you don’t believe us, try the sensational Prawns Tempura! The Oyster & Champagne Bar at the back is a great place to linger with friends and also boasts one of the best cocktail-lists in town. 

Best Dish: John Stone Rib Eye with Mixed Leaves, Chips & Bearnaise Sauce – €32
