Nancy Hands Bar & Restaurant

$$ | Phoenix Park and Environs

There's a fine line between re-creating tradition and looking like a theme bar, but Nancy Hands just about pulls it off. A galleylike room juxtaposes old wood, raw brick, and antiques with contemporary art to create a convivial, cozy dining area. The quality is high for bar food, with the rib-eye steak a standout. Other popular mains include the schnitzel with seasonal veg and a pie of the week with hand-cut fries and house salad. Numerous wines are served by the glass, and the selection of spirits is one of the most impressive in the country.

Phoenix Cafe

$ | Phoenix Park and Environs
A pastry-laden café in the middle of a huge park and next door to a playground—it's no wonder kids love the Phoenix Cafe. This gem is overlooked by a lot of locals, but when the sun is shining and you can sit outdoors there are few more tranquil and idyllic spots in the capital. The menu is healthy but inventive, with the salads a real favorite—try the tangy carrot salad or the lively kimchi. The lamb and chickpea tagine is more substantial. Then spoil yourself with the superb lemon drizzle cake; you can always walk it off in the park afterward.
