Coburg Brasserie

Top choice in Dublin


The French-inspired, seafood-leaning cuisine at this revamped hotel brasserie puts the emphasis on shellfish: the all-day menu offers oysters, mussels and a range of 'casual' lobster dishes, from lobster rolls to lobster cocktail. The bouillabaisse is chock-full of sea flavours, and you can also get a crab and shrimp burger and an excellent yellowfin tuna Niçoise salad. Top-notch.
