Menus of the 21st Century
Pi casually slid on to the Dublin Pizza scene last summer and within weeks had detonated a debate about whether it was the best pizza in the city - we were in the affirmative camp. Pizzaiola/owner Reggie White worked in an office before jacking it in to train with Darina Allen at Ballymaloe, and his obsession with pizza is evident from the first bite of the leoparded, 48 hour fermented base, with it punchy sun-ripened-tomato sauce and creamy, tangy Toons Bridge Fio de Latte on the most simple, perfect Margherita.

Seaneen Sullivan and her business partners saw the beauty of putting great Irish ingredients into the beauty of putting great Irish ingredients into a typical pub setting so the food hugs could be as warm as the boozy ones. No laurels are being rested on here, and a halo of great food has eddied out from the foundation stone that is Mulligans, turning Stoneybatter into a terrific little food village.

If Vanessa and Anna, the owners, had their way, there would be no seats in their restaurant, just a bar, and a sawdust-covered floor, where delicious small plates are casually served alongside fino and wine. Their Irish customers wanted sit-down dining, so they complied. The welcome is as large as the manu. They serve all the best tapas without the step count that would be clocked up to eat like this on a tapas strip in Spain.

Etto was always going to be a hard act to follow, but owners Liz Matthews, Simon Barrett and chef Paul McNamara have made it look effortless. This Spanish-inspired restaurant feels more like Barcelona than Aungier Street, and the bar seating is some of the best in the city. The gildas (Spanish "lollipops" with guindilla peppers, anchovies and olives), chargrilled octopus and flan de queso are unmissable.

Menus of the 21st Century
Host is like a chink of a much more cosmopolitan city shining through the suburban Dublin village of Ranelagh. They follow the winning neighbourhood formula of sharing plates, natural wine and sharply dressed staff, but the handmade pasta and general vibe that your wish is their command tip it over the edge. A Host in every neighbourhood would do much to alleviate the stresses of modern life.

Menus of the 21st Century
Ross Lewis Instagrams regular love letters to Irish food, marvelling at the seen on some pickled herring finished with Lambay crab, or enjoyiing the shift of seasons when roots give way to shoots. The supplier list for Chapter One is where all the good staff starts. The cheffing techniques and tweezers are deployed to enhance what has arrived through the delivery door.

Menus of the 21st Century
Kevin and Reidin Aherne have become a serious employer in Midleton, with almost three dozen staff between the restaurant and casual dining operation in a stone courtyard off Main Street. Their approach is proof that if you build it on what grows and grazes and swims around you they will come. Sage's 12 mile menu always made food sense, and the success they've made of it shows others how much business sense it can make too.

Menus of the 21st Century
Got a birthday coming up? Go to Etto. Anniversary? Etto. Want to cheer yourself up with a fantiastic lunch on a rainy Monday? Etto. Has a restaurant ever been as loved in Dublin before? It seems to be everyne's favourite (everyone who has eaten there anyway), and they rarely (ever?) put a foot wrong, with their seasonal, modern Italian/Irish menu, eclectic wine list and sunny staff.

Menus of the 21st Century
Barry Fitzgerald and Claire-Marie Thomas's neighbourhood bistro has been a cornerstone of the Dublin dining scene since opening, in 2015, and is a major part of the new wave of restaurants taking the capital up several notches on a globally recognised level. It's still as good as ever and not sitting still for a second. Sunday lunch here is the ultimate reward after a trying week.
Loam Restaurant Menus 2020, Loam Restaurant
Loam Restaurant Menus 2020, Loam Restaurant
Menus of the 21st Century
There's no place like Loam. Enda McEvoy is an ingredient nerd who makes it his business to get to know the people who grow, catch and farm his food. He treats every part of the food thoughtfully and is alway exploring ways to turn waste into taste, but not in a preachy way. Most diners won't even notice the quiet revolution he's staging behind the pass in a restaurant named after the rich crumbly soil that grows the best food.

Clanbrassil House Restaurant Menus 2020, Clanbrassil House
Menus of the 21st Century
Head chef Grainne O'Keefe, one of the young guns of the Irish culinary scene, only seems to be getting better and better. Clanbrassil House is about sharing plates, mainly cooked over fire, great wine and a team that aren't interested in playing it safe, making it one of the most exciting restaurants in the city.
Mr Fox Restaurant Menu 2020, Mr Fox Restaurant

Menus of the 21st Century
There's a quiet confidence about Mr Fox - you're unlikely to hear them shouting about how great they are any time now - which makes the food an almost shockingly fantastic surprise when you get there. Every element on every plate has a reason for being there and the nostalgia-laden deserts, like the super split and the coffee iceberger, are a joyful way to end a meal.

Jess Murphy isn't the sort of chef who'll fire off an email to a supplier and wait for the boxes to arrive in the door. She's more likely to pull on her wellies, zip up her orange anorak and go down to the farm to see and taste it. If there were a Pulitzer prize for provenance, then the Irish Times cookery writer would be a contender. It's the starting point that makes the food in her Galway restaurant sing.

Menus of the 21st Century
If only all pubs could grow up to be like this revamped veteran beside the Four Courts. The evolution of the Legal Eagle under the talented restaurateur Elaine Murphy put a dream list of Irish food, craft beer and cider, and gutsy flavours into the spotlight. There are toasties here and cote de boeuf for a spendy splurge, continuing Murphy's theme of unpretentious, always tasty Irish food.

It's the small touches that I remember from a lovely meal in this Drogheda restaurant: creative, ambitious ideas like the smoked oyster mayonnaise for dipping pencil thin bread sticks baked in the sister Brown Hound bakery, next door. This is a restaurant that started out great and keeps getting better.

Claire Dowling was still testing her menu on customers when I took one of the small seats in the back of her lovely cafe and loved every mouthful. Another Ottolenghi graduate, she has brought the lunch offering in Dublin's city centre up several notches. When Niall Davidson's new place opens just up the road, later in the summer, this looks set to become quite a food quarter.

Menus of the 21st Century
We are barely two generations removed from people who learned instinctively how to cook over fire, the predominant method of most Irish households. Knowing how fire works is a central plank of Variety Jones, a wonderful addition to Thomas Street in Dublin. The fire became central almost accidentally when Keelan and Aaron Higgs, who are brothers, couldn't get their gas hob connected. Now it's a crucial part of the wonderful cooking that's happening here.

Menus of the 21st Century
The first proper restaurant from the 3fe coffee roastery was planned with children (and their food - and wine-loving parents) very much in mind. The spacious interior is buggy friendly and has high chairs aplenty as well as a comfortable nappy-changing facility. Even better than all of that is that children aren't condemned to chicken nuggets and chips. Half-portions of everything on the adult menu are available at half-price, and there's a simplified menu, with beans on toast and pancakes, in case your mini-me doesn't feel up to the pork tonkatsu sandwich or the duck buns - but why wouldn't …

Menus of the 21st Century
Children get excited about food in a way that more jaded adults sometimes miss out. Airfield is a working model farm where warm eggs can be collected and milking watched, food grown, or mooing within earshot of this lovely cafe. The food in Overends Kitchen is as impressive as the farm. Sunday lunch is a particular favourite, and the Woolapalooza Festival gets better every year.

Menus of the 21st Century
If there were a poster child for modern Irish food in the capital, it's hard to think of a better candidate than Forest & Marcy. If there were a poster dish, the fermented potato bread with bacon and cabbage would win every time. Ciaran Sweeney and team quietly go about their business in this neighbourhood kitchen, taking the best Irish produce they can find, doing little to it and making their guests very happy.

An Italian mother shephered this brilliant Stoneybatter restaurant into being in the depths of an Irish winter when she flew in with a suitcase of still grass stems for rolling the handmade fileja pasta. Robert Mungo's mother has gone home, but her stamp remains, and Grano has been the best addition to Stoneybatter since L Mulligan Grocer opened its door.

Or the afternoon. It's not time-dependent. What is certain is that you will get delicious food here in this bespoke place where they pack more flavour into one bowl than some restaurants get into whole tasing menus. The sourcing is impeccable, and the opening of their second operation, Loose Canon, has not dimmed the focus that this professional operation brings to things.

There are family operations, and then there's Alma. Six members of the Parisi family opened this Argentinean cafe earlier this year, with Alejandro and Lucrecia, the parents, in charge, and their four daughters doing everything from front of house to social media. Alma's brunch menu, with dulce de leche pancakes, and steak, eggs and chimichurri, has added something different to an eggs-Benedict-saturated scene, and customers show their appreciation by queuing down South Circular Road at weekends.

Locks Restaurant Menu 2020, Locks Restaurant
Menus of the 21st Century
Cosy in winter, washed with simmering canal light in summer, Locks is one of my favourite restaurants anywhere. It has a lot to do with the calm sense you get when you walk in here that you are among people, chefs and front of house staff who know precisely what they're doing and how to do it.

Occasion dining with all it's props - the linen, the Frenchness, the heel-clicking precision service, the sterling-silver table scrapers - have been getting a bad rap in recent years as the trends rush towards informality. But Michael Viljanen has continued to fly the crisply starched flag. It helps that he's got a fiendish flavour sense and works French classics to perfection in the service of meals that are truly occasions.

Graham Neville's cooking feels slightly under the radar. First he was in the member's club that was Restaurant Forty One, on St Stephen's Green in Dublin. Then he moved to the business-district basement restaurant that is Dax. Throughout that cooking career he has been creating the kind of food that would be starred in another city. His food is subtle and utterly delicious.

Damien Grey's follow-up to the hugely successful Heron & Grey has already surpassed the original, with a tasting menu consisting of his most spellbinding dishes from the past few years and a newly revamped room that feels more like Scandinavia than south Co Dublin. All eyes will be on the Michelin awards this autumn to see if he regains his star, but that already seems like a done deal.

Menus of the 21st Century
You can (just about) see the sea from Michael's; more importantly, you can taste it in a way that not many city restaurants manage. Generosity is the spirit here, from the beautifully cooked platters of the freshest fish and seafood glistening with butter to the chats with the customers on which the chef Gareth Smith (or Gas, as everyone knows him) lavishes the rest of his time. If you're a fish-or seafood-loving family, this is your place.

Menus of the 21st Century
Having two small children themselves, Mark and Adriana Fitzpatrick had family dining high on the priority list when they opened Old Street, in 2019. High chairs and nappy changing were a given, as was a thoughtful children's menu with the option of half-sized portions of adult dishes. Last year they introduced kids-eat-free Sundays (one child for each adult) and sealed their fate as the go-to family Sunday lunch spot on the northside of Dublin.

Menus of the 21st Century
The day Michael Sheary's daughter was born, in 2014, he made a promise he was going to do something to make the world a better place for her to live in. With a background in hospitality, and after several trips to the United States, he saw an opportunity for an Irish Burger joint - BuJo - with "a Michelin-starred approach to sourcing and sustainability". He hired Grainne O'Keefe (of Clanbrassil House), and they spent two years working on the concept before BuJo opened, in early 2018. Almost every ingredient they use is Irish, with grass-fed beef and potatoes from north …
