Which is all too often we’re afraid.
While it is technically barbecue season, the recent onslaught of rainfall has made plans to whip out the grill somewhat dicey to say the least. There is little that is more miserable than trying to turn the sausies on the barby while the heavens are threatening to pour.
Not to worry; you don’t need to set a BBQ up in your back garden next time you’re in the mood for burgers, you can simply check out one of the many Dublin restaurants that specialise in the cuisine instead.
So whether the thought of assembling a barbecue makes your blood pressure soar, or the stress of perfectly cooking the meat makes your heart physically palpitate, or, you know, the weather, these are some of the best BBQ restaurants to be found in Dublin.
