Here's what it's like inside the top 10 restaurants in Ireland

No spicebags here.

TRIPADVISOR HAS DECLARED the top ten restaurants in Ireland. Cafe Paradiso came out trumps, with the Cork vegetarian restaurant impressing users of the review site.

As for the countdown, what better time to glare at some food porn?

10. Zuni, Kilkenny

This European cuisine haven in Kilkenny is praised as having superb service, food, and atmosphere.

Anyone for some beetroot gnocchi?

9. The Pig’s Ear, Dublin

If you didn’t go specifically looking for this place, it’s easy to walk by, but it hides some amazing food.

As for the food? Cured Irish salmon with cucumber and caviar won’t fill you up, but it will taste delicious.
