One Pico Restaurant

This is the first time that I've visited Dublin, where the eating is good but the prices are hefty, and actually felt that I had eaten a superb meal which was incredibly good value (un très bon rapport qualité-prix). We had the pre-theatre menu: 45€ for three courses with many choices for each course, plus coffee. The service was just right: neither overly fawning, nor too reserved, and we were charmed by the Francophone waiters and waitresses, they were true professionals. The food was imaginative, beautifully presented and the dishes were well-balanced. The portions of the main dishes, as served, were perfectly judged, so we were highly amused when four additional bowls of even more vegetables arrived at the table shortly after the main dishes had been served, including steamed and mashed potatoes (only a growing teenager could have done justice to all of this, fortunately we had two with us). The next time I'm in Ireland, I'll be dashing back to eat here.
