Forbes Street by Gareth Mullins
Located on the ground floor on the Anantara Marker Hotel, this spot offers the chance to have a fine dining experience in Dublin that is approachable yet still luxurious. Chef Gareth Mullins is Irish through and through, and brings a sophisticated sensibility to the modern Irish cuisine served here, consistently highlighting the best of Irish-raised beef, seafood, produce, and cheese. The frequently changing menu might feature hand-carved Howth Bay smoked salmon, roasted king scallops with butternut squash and king oyster mushrooms in a chicken jus, or sea trout pastrami with Teeling whiskey and mustard creme fraîche. If you’re a carnivore, the From the Flame Grill section of the menu can’t be missed with its select cuts of succulent Irish beef. For dessert, go for the Irish cheese plate (the crackers are served on foraged sea stones from a local beach). There is a smart casual dress code, but this never feels overwrought or exclusionary.
