A beach hut bar in the heart of Dublin? It’s an unlikely concept, but this stand-alone space beneath the main Cliff Townhouse restaurant had us in lazy Mediterranean mood the 

moment we walked in. With the short, sharp list of tapas and sharing plates assembled by Michelin man Martin Kajuiter, the food is every bit as tantalising as the cocktails, which include a Glendalough Wild Botanical Gin with Fresh Basil, Pineapple Lime and Fever Tree Elderflower Tonic. It’s a great spot for late night dining with last orders taken at 11pm Monday-Thursday and midnight at the weekend.

Best Dish: Seafood Sharing Plate for Two with Crab, Oyster, Prawms, Lobster, Smoked Salmon & Potted Fish – €50
