Eating out in City Centre
The city centre means the grid between Trinity College, St Stephen's Green and Dame Street: Grafton Street and the lanes off it, Dawson Street, South William Street, Drury Street, George's Street and Exchequer Street. It has the highest density of restaurants in Ireland and the widest spread of prices, from counters and noodle rooms to the tasting menus on Dawson Street, so the live list on LastTable is long here at most hours and the interesting question is which tables are on offer rather than whether there are any.
Every transport line arrives within a few minutes' walk: the Luas Green line at St Stephen's Green and Dawson, the Red line at Jervis and Abbey Street across the river, DART at Pearse and Tara Street, and most bus routes on Dame Street, Nassau Street or the quays.
Flash Tables appear all week, but the pattern is by sitting rather than by day: the 5:30 pm and 6 pm pre-theatre tables and the 9:30 pm late tables are the ones restaurants fill with offers, while 7:30 pm to 8:30 pm on Thursday, Friday and Saturday are the hardest hour in the city. Sunday evenings are generous. Groups of six do best on Drury Street and South William Street, where the bigger rooms are.
