Amuri

Leave grey and rainy Dublin behind for the sunny climes of Sicily. Specialising in all the food that makes this Italian island so special, Amuri is whisking diners away on a Mediterranean escape.

A bright and visual treat, Amuri celebrates the sophisticated side of Sicily. It's streamlined and uncluttered, injecting some aquatic blues and stoney greys into the mix to evoke sensations of the seaside. Exclusive without being pretentious, Amuri keeps its restaurant relatively lowkey so all the focus can be lavished on the food.

Speaking of which, the menu is a summery, opulent celebration of its origins. In this corner of Italy, time moves much slower, and dinners are supposed to be low and slow. Indulge in Sicily's covetable lifestyle with some seared scallops, beef tartare or vellutata of the day for starters, alongside a crisp glass of Italian white wine.

Then move on to your main dish, which can be anything from traditional Parmigiano with aubergine, fish of the day with lots of delicious tidbits from the deli and a lamb rump with fresh vegetables, chickpeas and a red pepper jus. Finally, no Italian menu is complete without a sirloin dressed with rosemary potatoes and an irresistible garlic sauce. And if you find that after all that, you have room left for a slice of homemade tiramisu, you are a true Sicilian.
