Grown women have been known to swoon when chef-owner Eamonn O'Reilly walks into the dining room of his little restaurant tucked away in a quiet lane only a few minutes from Stephen's Green. Eamonn cuts quite a dash, but it's his sophisticated, daring, contemporary cuisine that tends to seduce visitors to One Pico. Try the incredible parsley and garlic soup with poached quail egg to start. Dishes such as roast rump of veal with fricassee of girolles, pearl onion and truffle, and pomme sarladaise demonstrate a savvy use of native ingredients. Follow this with the baked chèvre cheesecake garnished with praline chocolate and orange confit. As is usual with Dublin's luxe eateries, the fixed-price lunch menu offers great value.
