Best Fine Dining in Skerries

"Most people associate Dublin writers with drinking rather than eating, but the Michelin-starred Chapter One in the basement of the Dublin Writers Museum might change that. It’s a special-occasion restaurant where chef Ross Lewis uses the best ingredients from Ireland’s fields, farms, and waves. The restaurant is a favorite with posh diners and lawyers from the nearby Four Courts, so tables on Friday and Saturday nights are like hen’s teeth."

"Michelin-starred, it continues win a string of new awards with each passing year. Diners at Chapter One enjoy a welcoming and relaxed atmosphere. The food is French-inspired but contemporary Irish in nature."

"Chapter One couldn't not be on the list of the best restaurants in Dublin. Top class food, made to stun eyes and shock tastebuds. This place is truly special and you can view the menu here."

"I am a big fan of seafood pasta and Rosa Madre in Dublin is always there to take care of my craving for this exceptional dish. They also specialise in fresh fish with options like gamberi in spicy spinach, calamari, and the mighty lobster tonnarelli. Back in 2018, Rosa Madre won an award for the ‘Best Authentic Italian Restaurant in Dublin’."

"Some of the tastiest seafood pasta can be found in Rosa Madre. As soon as you step in the door you're met by a huge cabinet which is iced and packed full of fish and shellfish. It's a stunning venue, tucked away down the cobblestone streets of Temple Bar but inside it's got a lot of character."

"In an era when casual dining is more popular than ever, a hit of buttoned-up elegance can go a long way. At Restaurant Patrick Guilbaud, the waitstaff dons three-piece suits and plates hide under shiny silver cloches. Yes, it’s formal and yes, it’s fancy, but the Irish have a way of doing luxury well—and without pretension."

"Located in the opulent surroundings of Dublin's Mansion House on Dawson Street, Fire has been built in what was originally the Lord Mayor's supper room and is now a magnificent space with stained glass windows and vaulted ceilings. The food is all locally sourced and cooked to a high standard with a good mix of meat, vegetarian options and seafood - the jumbo prawn starter is the house speciality. There is also a special steak menu with a variety of cuts of ages, marinated beef that are sure to make a meat-lover's mouth water."

"Fire steakhouse and bar is right beside the city’s Mansion House and about five minute’s walking from the Fitzwilliam. It’s a really beautiful room – high ceilings, bright with big windows – with good food prepared without fuss. Our guests like it a lot as do those on TripAdvisor and other reviewers."

"One of the top hotels in Dublin, the five-star Fitzwilliam, can also boast about having one of the top restaurants in the city, Glovers Alley. Dublin-born Andrew McFadden first went to London to show off his culinary talents and, at age 28, became the youngest chef ever to earn a Michelin star in the UK. McFadden decided to return to his roots and opened Glovers Alley in tandem with the hotel."

"Glovers Alley is a swanky Millennial pink fine-dining restaurant on the first floor of the Fitzwilliam hotel. Dubliner Andy McFadden is the executive chef, having moved from London where he lived for 12 years, working in the prestigious Pied à Terre restaurant. Fun fact: At age 25, Andy was the youngest chef in London to hold a Michelin star, so you know he means business."

"BANG Restaurant, recommended by the Michelin Guide, offers discerning diners exquisite culinary experiences. From the unique experience of 'The Gathering' Tasting Menu, a seven course meal proudly showcasing the very best of Ireland, to the long-established pre-theatre menu, these dishes are synonymous with local culture and high quality. Passionate about food, menus are seasonal, fresh and locally sourced."

"Also known as the Dead Zoo, the Natural History museum has a firm place in the hearts of Dubliners. The building itself is a beautiful structure that dates back to 1856 and is filled with displays of skeletons and taxidermied animals. Little has changed in the years since it opened, which is why it’s often described as a "museum of a museum." Exhibitions are spread over four floors, although only the first two are currently open to the public due to a lack of emergency exits on the balcony levels."

"The Natural History Museum of Dublin is known by the locals as the ‘dead Zoo’, a spooky name that describes it perfectly!. Located in the city centre, this is a museum with skeletons and stuffed specimens of many species of animals, most of them preserved in the museum since the last century. I brought my kids there when they were tiny and the reaction was mixed: fascination and a bit of fear – some of the animals are immense!"
