42 Fawnes Street, Dublin 2 353 (0) 1-679-0440 As one of the award-winning Fitzers Restaurant Group, you would expect good things of this branch - and you would be right. Located in the bustling Temple Bar area, Fritzers is always lively and festive. There's a succulent selection of dishes on this menu - everything from homemade hamburgers to sirloin steak. This place suits most budgets and most tastes. Cusack's Restaurant Unfortunately Cusack's doesn't generally receive the recognition it deserves. It offers delightful food at reasonable prices served by friendly staff. The atmosphere is relaxed and unpretentious. You won't be disappointed by the Oak Smoked Irish Salmon and the Char-grilled Pork Chops. But leave room for one of the wonderful puddings on offer.

Bon Appetit You can't get much more "Dublin" than dining in a Georgian terrace house basement - and that's exactly where Bon Appetit is located. The food though slants more towards classic French than traditional Dublin fare. However, you will find some Irish and Mediterranean influences on the menu. The fresh seafood from Howth is great but then so is the steak and Wicklow lamb, so you'll be spoiled for choice. And while you're waiting for your food you can always view the magnificent collection of local watercolors adorning the walls. The Old Dublin One of Dublin's longest established fine restaurants never fails to impress. I love the unusual layout of the dining area - there are several small rooms rather than one large dining area. This makes for a warm,
