Downtown Food and Drink

In Dublin, Temple Bar is the central point for all that is food and drink. The restaurants are nice, and the food is good, and not too expensice. So if you are looking for a nice Italian, French,
Chinese.

Stephen's Green is another great area for eating out.  It offers a wide range of international cuisine.
