A Temple Bar institution built entirely around the boxty, the traditional Irish potato pancake, served with fillings from smoked salmon to Irish stew. It sits squarely in the tourist zone, so the room is busy and the menu leans traditional over adventurous, but it delivers exactly what a first-time visitor is looking for.
