Mourne Seafood Bar

3 Best Day Trips from Dublin to Belfast, Dromoland Castle, County Clare, and County Wicklow | Condé Nast Traveler

"Fans of fresh, excellently prepared seafood can’t miss a visit to this perennial favorite on Bank Square. In a cozy, relaxed dining room with exposed brick walls, works by local artists, and less than a dozen wooden tables, you’ll find a near-constant stream of diners—die-hards and tourists alike—savoring locally caught fish, oysters, and mussels, and shellfish sourced from the restaurant’s own bed, prepared in signature styles from piri piri, filet, and curried, to pasta and casseroles. Seating is limited, and the place is both beloved by locals and frequently recommended to tourists, so be prepared to wait at lunch (when it’s first-come, first-served) and to make a reservation for dinner—and don’t be offended if they tell you you’ve got a time limit in which to enjoy your meal." - Sandra Ramani
