Think your family is responsible for the best Christmas dinner in Ireland? Think again. Have a sleigh-worthy meal with none of the fuss at one of these incredible restaurants and make this a festive season to remember. Not only will you be pigging out on everything from sushi platters to s'mores boards; these venues even have the party portion of the night covered with yuletide bashes that you won't want to (snow)flake out on.
