The Dublin dining scene is really having a moment, with a handful of new restaurants opening their doors in the city center this autumn.
There's plenty for food lovers to enjoy, from a glamorous taste of Asia to a French steakhouse serving bottomless fries, and a rooftop restaurant with views across the capital.
Whether you're looking for a date-night dinner, cocktails with a view, or delicious comfort food, there's something new for everyone. So, which of the three new spots are you adding to your list?
Cantina Valentina is a Peruvian-inspired restaurant nestled inside the city's newest hotel, The Hoxton, on Exchequer Street.
According to the new dining spot's website, it hopes to blend the 'warmth of a family-run picanteria with a modern, playful spirit' - we like the sound of that!
The menu has plenty to keep foodies happy with the signature dishes, including Polla a la Brase, a half-grilled free-range chicken, with lemon thyme, lambs lettuce, ají Amarillo mayo, and the Whole Peruvian Sea Bream, which is served with ají miso, red onion and lime salad, and steamed rice.
If you're looking to impress someone special, Díon is a new rooftop experience opening in early December in Dublin's city centre that will do the talking for you.
Located on top of the iconic building of the former Central Bank on Dame Street, it boasts 360-degree views across the city and looks like it could become the place to go for a swanky night out.
Pictures of the new restaurant, lounge, and bar show a swanky interior with low, orange lighting setting the mood in the space, with its steel-and-glass windows and mirrored ceilings giving us spaceship vibes.
The rich furnishings inside take inspiration from the 1970s, with its earthy tones and low-back armchairs complementing the moody lighting, resulting in a modern, elegant feel.
An innovative cocktail menu is expected to be the highlight of the experience but Díon promises to be more than a cocktail bar.
Head Chef Neil Mulholland will be leading the team in the kitchen to serve Irish cuisine with a global influence over an all-day menu.
Love Italian cuisine? Then you're in for a treat as one of the best-loved Italian restaurants is opening its doors here.
Gloria Osteria, which forms part of the international Big Mamma group, aims to embody the glamour of a traditional Italian osteria (a place to enjoy food and wine) from the 1970s, and we'd say it's mission accomplished after seeing inside the new spot at 41 Westmoreland Street.
The restaurant is decadently designed with low lighting and lots of photo spots, making it a great option as a spot to catch up with the girls over a delicious dish and a few drinks.
The food isn't half bad either, with delicious truffle pasta a must-try and a few dishes with Irish twists, such as the Guinness Ossobuco (Veal Ossobuco in Guinness).
