"Irish chef Kevin Burke worked for years in London, including as head chef at Michelin-starred restaurant the Ninth, before returning to town as part of a wave of chefs bringing excitement to Dublin. At Library Street, in the former Allta space, he’s knocking out some thrilling food. Start with the char-grilled langoustines (just get right in there and let those juices drip down your face), then the risotto, followed by meat from the grill. And dive into the low-intervention wine list, where there are plenty of options by the glass. Plates are designed to be shared, but after one taste you may not feel like doing so. Must-try dish: Whatever you do, leave room for the spectacular desserts." - Corinna Hardgrave
