Ladies Who Lunch. Designer bags can get very heavy, so there's nothing better to restore
flagging energy than the simple, rustic delights on offer: organic shepherd's pie, roast
lamb with couscous, or sumptuous salads from the Avoca kitchen. There's also a
takeaway salad bar and hot-food counter in the basement.
INDIE DHABA €€
MAP GOOGLE MAP
( www.dhaba.ie ; Anne's La, 21-26 South Anne St; tapas €7.25-14.25; lunch & dinner; ) This is Indian
food like you've never had it before, mouth-watering tapas served in an airy, modern set-
ting. Which is the real surprise, given you're two floors below ground. The menu is in-
credibly broad - we enjoyed the sigriwala bhateyr (tamarind-and- peanut -stuffed quail)
and the hiran ka soola (venison tenderloin). There's plenty of vegetarian options too.

GOOD WORLD €€

(18 South Great George's St; dim sum €4-6, mains €12-19; 12.30pm-2.30am) The hands-down winner of
our best- Chinese-restaurant competition, the Good World has two menus, but to really get
the most of this terrific spot, steer well clear of the Western menu and its unimaginative
dishes. With listings in two languages, the Chinese menu is packed with dishes and delic-
acies that keep us coming back for more.

PICHET €€

( 01-677 1060; www.pichetrestaurant.ie ; 14-15 Trinity St; mains €17-29; lunch & dinner) TV chef Nick
Munier and Stephen Gibson (formerly of L'Ecrivain) deliver their version of modern
French cuisine to this elongated dining room replete with blue leather chairs and lots of
windows to stare out of. The result is pretty good indeed, the food excellent - we expected
nothing less - and the service impeccable. Sit in the back for atmosphere.

ODESSA €€

( 01-670 7634; www.odessa.ie ; 13 Dame Ct; dinner mains €15-28 ; lunch & dinner) Odessa and the
hangover brunch go hand in hand like Laurel and Hardy. But this stylish eatery's dining
credentials have long been maintained by its excellent dinner menu, which combines solid
favourites including the homemade burger with more adventurous dishes such as roast fil-
let of hake served with chorizo, clams, white-bean stew and serrano ham.
