From crowded Soho pub to comfy dining room, Charles Campion picks out three places which offer the best of Irish cuisine.
Richard Corrigan at the Lindsay House
21 Romilly Street, W1
Ebullient Irishman Richard Corrigan breathes fire and brimstone via an imaginative menu. Expect strong flavours, carefully chosen ingredients and innovative combinations. £70pp ex-drinks. (020 7439 0450)
O'Conor Don
88 Marylebone Lane, W1
Downstairs they'll do you a very good pint of Guinness, while upstairs there is the Ard Ri dining room, serving a broadly Irish menu. Traditional cooking at moderate prices. £25 pp ex-drinks. (020 7935 9311)
The Toucan
19 Carlisle Street, W1
This is a tiny, crammed, loud, push and shove Irish bar - very much the same as you'd find in Ireland. There's good Guinness, plus oysters, Irish stew, jacket potatoes and champ. Cheap and very cheerful. £10 pp ex-Guinness. (020 7437 4123)
