Dublin Restaurants?

The best food we ate while in Dublin was in a small coastal town called Howth.  You can get there by taking the subway/elevated train.  Get off at Howth and walk around town.  There was a wonderful seafood restaurant just off the marina, though I don't remember the name.  Great sights there too.  Check out the old abbey and cemetary while there.  Also, bring the camera and get some shots of the lovely huge rock cliffs out in the sea.

For something more American, namely some decent pizza, try the Bad Ass Cafe (Ass as in donkey).  Fun place.  Bring home a Bad Ass t-shirt for your favorite rebellious niece or nephew to wear to school while you are at it.  Within walking distance of Trinity, 2 or 3 blocks from the Liffey.  You can probably look up the address while there.  Ate at a Portuguese restaurant nearby and the food was AWFUL.  Don't bother.  By and large, we were not terribly impressed with the food in Dublin.  Some of the pub grub was tasty and cheap enough, though.  Check that stuff out.  We ate a lot at a dim sum house because it was close to Trinity and the food was of good quality and good selection.  Also, there was a "New York" restaurant (something like "52nd Street Cafe" or something) that had pretty good breakfasts (though they still give you rashers instead of American-style bacon).  The chef was a dear there as I had come down with the flu during my last days and could only stomach soup.  So every morning for 3 days he whipped me up a nice soup first thing in the morning, so I could keep my food down while presenting my paper at the convention being help at Trinity.

Folks were very nice and very helpful in Dublin, though like all cities there are the normal share of hoodlums.  The best part of being there was the music scene, btw.
