Topolis Restaurant

When it comes to Italian restaurants, the Topolis at 37 Parliament Street in Temple Bar is the real deal. Even the homemade bread has the rub of the garlic. Its location adjacent to the City Hall with its adjoining civic open space places it close to a popular focal point for tourists. The location’s main advantage is being part of the vibrant lifestyle which is Temple Bar – a 24-7 destiny for – shall we say – socialising Irish style. Naturally, in the Topolis, the 12 inch pizza looms large on the menu which indicates a selection of 16 which are cooked in situ in their woodstone oven. There is real substance to the wide range of ingredients and the evidence of the popularity of the Topolis pizza range is being surrounded by customer tucking in with relish in a restaurant with 80 covers. The kitchen is the scene of heavy duty cooking and diligent preparation of meals. A glance at the substantial nature of the starters is sufficient evidence alone. Much fancied are the deep fried mushrooms stuffed with gorgonzola cheese or the tiger prawns wrapped in filo pastry. The selection of meats, olives, artichokes and parmesan make Antipasto Misto a strong preference. The Pasta meals are so appealing that several visits to Topolis will be necessary to satisfy your enjoyment of the best of Italian spaghetti and lasagne dishes with their delectable accompaniments.

A quality selection of fine wines are listed, but this Italian restaurant admits Chilean wines are emerging as the most popular.

Opening hours are noon to midnight.

Lunch specials are served from noon to 4 p.m. Monday to Friday and the Early Bird from 4 to 7 p.m. Monday to Sunday.
