ROMANTIC & INTIMATE
(Romantic restaurants in Dublin. Restaurant ideas for Valentine's day)
|
| Pearl Brasserie |
| Sebastien Masi and Kirsten Batt are partners at this highly respected restaurant. Masi grew up in France and began his training as a chef at the tender age of fifteen. Since then he has worked in many restaurants including Patrick Guilbauds restaurant (two-star Michelin). His philosophy is simple - good food, comfortable surroundings with friendly & attentive staff. Pearl Brasserie serves traditional French cuisine in a warm, modern, informal environment with tranquil music playing in the Oyster Bar as you relax beside a giant peat fire and exotic aquarium. |

| Il Baccaro |
| Il Baccaro is tucked away on a corner of Meeting House Square. It can only be a good sign when an Italian restaurant is packed with Italians, both eating and serving the food, and this is the case here. Il Baccaro is really a dimly lit cavern which serves as a small intimate dining room, but is not overly cramped. |
| |
| Jaipur |
| You will be challenged to find a bad review of trendy Indian restaurant Jaipur. Named after the 'Jewel of Rajasthan', Jaipur does indeed sparkle with modern subtle decor and accolade winning cuisine. Diners can choose from a well thought out A La Carte menu or a very reasonable early bird offering. Sister restaurants have been opened in Dalkey and Malahide. |
|
| One Pico |
| One Pico is located in a laneway near St Stephen’s Green,or more precisely on the corner of Molesworth Lane and Schoolhouse Lane, at the back of Molesworth Street.

Eamon O'Reilly (chef/proprietor) runs the restaurant with a steady guiding hand and specialises in modern Irish and new world cuisine. The surroundings are elegant, with crisp white linen and fine china and glassware. The treats served up from the kitchen are sophisticated and refreshingly different. Definelty one to impress a loved one with. |
