As the youngest British chef to win three Michelin stars, Marco Pierre White’s cuisine has always been associated with quality and brilliance. Learning his craft from the likes of Raymond Blanc and Michel Roux in the 80s, you’d quite rightly expect his restaurant to deliver top class cuisine and oh, does it deliver. Not many restaurants can get a rib-eye steak, crispy fries and a Béarnaise sauce all done to absolute perfection but Marco Pierre White has managed to execute each element perfectly. I mean, just look at the photo!

Just a stone’s throw away from Dublin’s Trinity College, enjoy a taste of Tokyo at Yamamori Izakaya. Much like Ireland has its pubs, Japan has its Izakayas, a type of Japanese bar in which a variety of small plates and sushi are served to accompany alcohol. The interior transports you to the busy streets of Tokyo with Manga cartoons and lanterns, and the food is nothing short of magical. The rainbow rolls with black rice and crispy dragon rolls are a particular highlight, and don’t forget after dinner you can party the night away downstairs, with tunes from the best of Dublin’s up-and-coming DJ’s.
