Mermaid Cafe (The) - details
Average rating: 
The Mermaid is an excellent little restaurant located on Dame Street, which is just far enough off the Temple Bar strip that Dubliners might actually go to it. It has won the prestigious "Best Restaurant in Temple Bar" award, which is no mean feat given the number of good eateries in the area. The food is outstanding with, not surprisingly, a fish bias. If you take the freshest and best ingredients and don't mess around with them too much, then you have Mermaid's menu - simple, elegant and impeccable.

But it's not. Ben Gorman, who started the Mermaid back in 1996, now spends less time behind the stove. Not …

One of the chef-owners dabbles in fine art, and his tastes in this area are reflected in his artistic and decorative style of bistro cooking. It's not cheap, but the food is quite good. Lunch is an exceptional value -- piquant crab cakes, hearty seafood casseroles, rib-eye steak, or radicchio and …
