Fish & chips. Wonderful fish and the squid is super but you will pay a high price for a glass or bottle of wine to go with it.

Good, reasonably priced food and delicious cocktails.
This is an exquisite restaurant. It's a little bit pricey but the food is wonderful. If you have the money to splash out this is worth the money.

Highly recommended and very nearby in Stoneybatter. Great local pub! And super food.
From their website:
"Our menu is seasonal & we work with our Irish producers and farmers to feature as many local ingredients as possible. Our fish is sustainably sourced from small day boats, our pork and chicken are free range and Irish and at this time of year much of our veg comes from our own organic allotment. We strive for sustainability. What we don’t grow ourselves is sourced from our incredibly resilient Irish vegetable farmers."

An absolute must! This is a new restaurant; the food is excellent and the prices are still good.
I highly recommend: RASPADO DE CERDO (pork belly crackling), POLLO EN CREMA DE AJO (chicken supreme, garlic, lemon, white wine, cream sauce), and PESCADO (crispy skin cod, dill, creme fraiche , chorizo, orzo). They have a good wine selection too.
