Description:
This long-beloved bookstore cafe was recently reworked into a sleek, gorgeous restaurant with wood floors, big windows, and stunning river view. It's still in a lovely old bookstore (you can pick up some Joyce on your way to dinner), but it's definitively modern in its cooking style. Dishes are clever interpretations of Irish favorites: steamed mussels and homemade fries with aioli; boiled Irish bacon collar (shoulder) with buttered organic cabbage and mashed potatoes; or seafood chowder with chorizo and treacle bread. The wine list is brilliantly chosen; the atmosphere is pure elegant sophistication. This place isn't trendy, it's classy.
