Image this: you’re seated at a environmentally friendly-marble-topped bar, sipping an ice-chilly Guinness and savouring the greatest native oysters.

If you manage to nab a spot, V.F. recommends heading straight for the Dooncastle oysters prior to a serving of the silkiest pappardelle with prosperous veal ragu.
