A spring roll’s throw from the local Luas stop, this busy spot offers both Thai staples – Tom Yum Noodle Soup being a particularly delicious case in instance – and new takes on Southeast Asian favourites. Open all week from 5pm, the upstairs Candlelight Bar has 1920s-stylespeakeasy décor, tasty tapas and a wildly imaginative cocktail-list invented by mixologist-in-chief Darren Geraghty. The same tasty ethos also applies to their Malahide bar and restaurant, close to the busy harbour.

Best Dish: Fillet Beef Phad Thai – €21.50
