The leading food hall in the capital dispenses sandwiches and salads to the lunchtime hordes but you can also have a leisurely lunch in the first-floor restaurant and bar. Their cocktails are particularly gorgeous, and look out for their tasty vegetarian and vegan options too. In the evenings, there’s a seasonal Pre-Theatre Menu for €29.95 – leave room for the Mango & Raspberry Knickerbocker Glory! There’s also a subterranean wine bar/shop with a massive selection of vintages, cheese and charcuterie platters. Fallon & Byrne continue to spread its idea of wonderful food and great wine in two other recently opened locations; the Restaurant & Cafe in the People’s Park, Dun Laoghaire, and the Food Hall & Eatery in the Swan Centre, Rathmines. 

Best Dish: Serrano Ham Reserva & Aged Blue Cheese with Charred Radicchio, Figs, Toasted Walnuts & Aioli – €11.95
