Dublin and London food recs

Will be in both in late November.

Dublin for a day or two and London longer.

Last year for Paris we balled out big time and spent a shitload of money on some very highend places. Not looking to do that this year, looking to be a little more cost effective. Actually, a LOT more cost effective as we spent way, way too much. I know London is expensive.

Any reccos for both?

In Dublin I would prefer to hit some pubs, maybe eat in one or two that sort of thing, but open to anything.

In London for some reason the wife wants to do touristy shite since she's never been, like eat at a Fish and Chips place (I'm thinking The Golden Chippy), get some pie and mash, that sort of thing. So we will hit up one or two of those type places.

Definitely want to do Barrafina (spanish tapas, just got one Michelin star, 3 locations, no reservations, but suprisingly affordable) one night, maybe BAO for lunch or dinner. Maybe Hoppers or Dishoom for lunch.

Thought about hitting up Dabbous as our one fancy pants meal, the tasting menu for a michelin star place is cheap, 59 pounds.

Also thinking about doing Sketch or the Wolseley for afternoon tea.

None of that is set in stone just thoughts based on research. Definitely open to suggestions. In Dublin I am particularly clueless.

Staying in Temple Bar in Dublin, haven't picked a place in London yet but leaning towards a place in the no man's land between Westminster and City of London, Temple area very near the Thames (Fleet Street area).
