While Ireland is a country known for its breathtaking scenery and friendly people, its cuisine has never topped any favorites list. So, when looking for great dining in Dublin, why not look at a classic American steakhouse to free you from too much pub grub. Shanahan's on the Green is situated on (as the name implies) St. Stephen's Green in central Dublin. Residing in a Georgian townhouse, the restaurant is a beautiful place filled with antiques and crystal chandeliers. The cuisine is hearty and the plating is artful. Steaks of certified Angus Irish beef and fresh North Atlantic seafood ensure that nobody leaves hungry. Save room for the Baby Banana Souffle, it's heavenly.

Seriously, my favourite restaurant in the world. I usually fly from the UK once a year to eat here. Really really good.

Fact fans - JFK's rocking chair from Air Force One is in the bar downstairs.

I lived in Ireland for 25 years. It is an irritating myth that cuisine in Ireland is inferior. The country is full of exceptionally fine eateries, rivalling the best in other european capitals. Don't be misled by the blurb that accompanied this article.
