moderate-priced favorites in Dublin

[susandresner]

I'll be in Dublin for a week. Since eating out is so expensive (in $$$$$), can you recommend 5 excellenct places to dine out offering fresh, local food w/ moderate prices? Ethnics included, please.

for cheap ethnics, Parnell Street is the place to go. Allilang is one of my favourites here for dirt cheap Korean food.

A good site to research a few restaurants on is www.menupages.ie which includes menus and prices for most city centre restaurants in Dublin- it also includes user reviews.

For lunches, I would recommend avoca cafe (Nassau Street), epicurean centre (Abbey Street), cornicopia (Wicklow Street), Queen of Tarts (Dame Street), Lemon creperie (Dawson Street)

It maybe too far afield for you depending on where you are staying but I would recommend Martello in Dun Laoghaire. Was in Dublin in August and I thought it was very good value for money.
