Hanging out in the Creative Quarter in Dublin? Make your way to one of the most important buildings in Irish history. Juxtaposing medieval, gothic revival, and Georgian architecture, all set on top of old Viking grounds, you’ll find Dublin Castle. Stick to the theme of royalty and eat like a king at the best restaurants in the Creative Quarter of Dublin.
Looking for amazing seafood and perfectly seasoned beef, all with a view of Dublin Castle? Consider your search over. The Bull and Castle restaurant near Dublin’s Creative Quarter, is a stone’s throw away from this beloved attraction (just a four minute walk). Enough about the architecture though; let’s talk food. Go for the Surf ‘N’ Turf: a 28 Day dry-aged ‘Picanha’ rump cap steak with grilled Dublin bay prawns. Spice things up a bit with the chimichurri sauce and a delicious drink and you’ve got the makings of a fairytale dinner.
It might be time to loosen things up with a margarita & 100% Blue Agave Tequila cocktail. Awarded “Best World Cuisine, Dublin” by the Irish restaurant awards 2017, this restaurant is definitely on the right path to find the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. 777 is only a four minute walk from The Chapel Royal and is a great place to share some delicious, filled corn tortillas, or a mouth-watering dish from the wood burning grill. Let the bold flavours and warm spices take over your taste buds. Ay Caramba!!
