Jaipur

This custom-built restaurant is named after the "Jewel of Rajasthan" and offers a contemporary image of ethnic dining. It's a cool and spacious place, with a large modern spiral staircase leading up to an area that can be used for private parties, with the main restaurant below it.

Modern decor and warm colours send the right messages and it is a pleasing space. Head chef Kaushick Roy uses mostly Irish ingredients, while importing fresh and dried spices directly, and his menus offer an attractive combination of traditional and more creative dishes.

Service is attentive and discreet. Jaipur was the first ethnic restaurant in Ireland to devise a wine list suited to spicy foods.

* There is a possibility that Jaipur may relocate to a new city centre premises during 2008.
