Dublin


Olivier Meisonnave's posh-rustic basement restaurant, named after his hometown north of Biarritz, is popular with serious foodies. They come for the expertly made dishes such as braised Comeragh lamb with aubergine and miso; or the roasted wild duck, with chervil root purée, braised barley and Madeira.
