"I’ve never been a fan of touristy Italian restaurants in Dublin (or anywhere else, for that matter). Which is why I try to opt for family-run restaurants located outside of tourist/office hotspots. This is why I’ve been returning to North Strand’s Da Mimmo time and time again (the food’s great too, of course!)."

"Da Mimmo was opened in 2010 by Tino Fuscardi with their dishes being developed over past generations as it is a family run Italian restaurant located in Dublin 3. They are well known in Dublin for their homemade wood fired Pizzas, Pasta & AntiPasto; delicious desserts and a wide range of best Italian Wines."

They produce handmade sweet and savoury baked goods every day, available from their stores in Tallaght, Blanchardstown and the city centre.

"This is one of the best of Dublin's new neighbourhood restaurants, and is worth the trip from the city centre to Harold's Cross. Philip Yeung's establishment offers smart, modern Irish/European cuisine: fresh seafood, excellent meats, luxurious desserts – and the best of local ingredients. Try the County Mayo pork belly, followed by a vivid rhubarb mousse with meringue."

"Mimicking American diners of the 1950s, Irish retro-restaurant chain Eddie Rocket’s does dessert better than any of its rivals. Their chocolate brownies and cookie sliders are widely celebrated, but their milkshakes and malts made with premium dairy ice cream could qualify as desserts in and of themselves – the imaginative menu blends heavenly flavours like Kinder Bueno, Oreo cookie and Reese’s® Peanut Butter Cup."

"Sure it's a burger joint, but I think Eddie does a decent burger – and the milkshakes are the best in the land. Kids are king in this place, with colouring books, kids' menu and a gift on leaving. The menu is more of a treat, but the music and speed of service sometimes makes this the best choice."
