Frank’s, Dublin: Fast, great casual food at my new favourite restaurant
Delicious food in a former Camden Street butcher’s – with a surprisingly reasonable bill

Here’s a beautiful idea: a talented chef with a couple of days’ prep in his back pocket stands at a pan and cooks delicious things, including one dish that has you day-dreaming about it a week later. You sit feet away and when the food is ready it is put on a plate and handed to you. At the end, a bill comes that is surprisingly reasonable.
“When is the Frank’s review going in?” my husband will ring to ask just as I start writing, like some telepathic trigger has sent a panic alert to his brain. We want to hug Frank’s to ourselves but they prised it from my greedy grip. Bag open. Cat gone. Our new secret favourite place shared.
