Roly’s Bistro
This lovely, easygoing bistro, just down the street from the United States Embassy, is one of the best places to eat south of the city center. Local meats and fish predominate; start with some Thai-style Castletown crab cakes, or perhaps a traditional leek and potato soup (great comfort food if it’s a cold evening). For the main event, try the roast chicken with colcannon potato, or, if you want to splurge a bit, the specialty beef rib eye, aged for 30 days in 12 feet of Himalayan rock salt. There’s also an adjacent cafe, with a slightly more stripped-down fixed-price menu (€22 for 2 courses, or €25 for 3). Reservations are recommended.
