One of the bustling South Court Hotel’s three food offerings – Seasons Restaurant and The Curry House also come highly recommended – this artisan-minded gastro pub is renowned for its charcoal oven-cooked burgers, prime ribs and steaks, which are served with chunky fries, Portobello mushrooms, some truly heroic pale ale battered onion rings and a choice of sauces – the Cashel Blue Cheese & Bacon Butter one is especially tasty. They also do wondrous things with fish and seafood; tantalise tastebuds further with their truffle oil-infused Mac ‘N’ Cheese, and include a main course Superfood Salad among their healthy options.

Best Dish: Glenbeigh Mussels with Classic Moules Mariniere or Gubeen Smokehouse Chorizo, Off the Bone Pale Ale Served with Seasonal Leaf Salad or Chunky Chips – €15
