CRACKBIRD €
(
www.joburger.ie
;
60 Dame St; mains €10; lunch & dinner; all city centre)
A buzzy, trendy spot that
only serves chicken, dipped in batter and breadcrumbs and then deep-fried...sounds a bit
limited, right? But the chicken is excellent, and the sides - choose from the likes of potato
salad, chipotle baked beans or carrot and cranberry salad - add taste and variety to what
might otherwise just be fancy chicken in a bucket.
CHICKEN
ZAYTOON €
(14-15 Parliament St; meals €11; all city centre)
It's the end of the night and you've got a desperate
case of the munchies. Head straight for this terrific kebab joint and gobble the house speci-
ality: the chicken shish-kebab meal, complete with chips and a soft drink.
MIDDLE EASTERN
LA DOLCE VITA €
(Cow's Lane; plates for 2 €13-22; 8.30am-11pm Mon-Sat, from 10am Sun; all city centre)
This relatively
new place serves proper Italian antipasti, dished up in sharing plates and named after
Fellini movies. You can get mixed cheese platters (Il Viaggio di Mastorna), prosciutto
samplers (Amarcord) or a mix of both (La Strada). Wash it all down with a selection of
wines by the glass.
ITALIAN
GOURMET BURGER KITCHEN €
( 01-670 8343; Temple Bar Sq; burgers €9-13; noon-11pm Mon-Sat, noon-10pm Sun; all city centre)
The
Temple Bar branch of this popular and tasty burger restaurant is perfectly placed to feed the
party crowd - after all, you really shouldn't drink on an empty stomach! By closing relat-
ively early it avoids those same people with the post-club munchies.
BURGERS
QUEEN OF TARTS €
(4 Cork Hill; snacks from €4; 7.30am-6pm Mon-Fri; all city centre)
Diet dodgers rejoice, for this
little cafe is to cakes what Willie Wonka was to chocolate, and you'll think you're in a
dream when you see the displays of tarts, meringues, crumbles, cookies and brownies, nev-
er mind taste them. There are also great brekkies - such as potato-and-chive cake with
