After finding this place
completely by accident a few years ago and just managing to get
squeezed in for a table, Mermaid has become more than just a good
restaurant to visit when in Dublin, it's actually one of many reasons
to go there. The menu hits all the right notes, local sourcing,
traditional with twists, big flavours, quality ingredients etc.
What makes it stand out is the flair. This is a relatively
tiny tightly spaced establishment but it really delivers the
goods. Last visit, the antipasti was special and the venison was
spectacular with garlic adding a deliciously smokey scent. Go to
Dublin, have a perfect pint in the Stag and wander over the road to the
Mermaid. Make sure you book first, word is well and truly out for
this one.
