Dax

Tucked away off Leeson St and covering two floors, Dax restaurant and tapas bar is an interesting mix of more casual menus paired with fine dining in the basement. The rustic basement restaurant offers a great mix of Irish produce and haute-cuisine in a cosy atmosphere along with an excellent pre-theatre menu. They concentrate on having excellent seasonal produce and it shows. If you're after something less formal then head up to the café bar to enjoy some delicious tapas, charcuterie and cheese paired with their extensive wine list. You'll find yourself happily stuffed but desperately trying to fit more cheese into your mouth...and that's just fine.
