My wife and I will be in Belfast and Dublin the week of 13 Sept. 2019 for the first time. We are not familiar with the area and would like recommendations for good places to eat, restaurant style. We will be in Edinburgh, 18-22 of Sept. and would recommendations for that area as well. Thank you in advance!

Our favorite meal in Dublin (seafood) was at Matt the Thresher; easy to find, near Merrion Square and St. Stephen's Green. http://mattthethresher.ie/
You can make a reservation (recommended) on line.

We discovered a place in Edinburgh a number of years ago and have had many memorable meals there. It is Maison Bleue at 36 Victoria St. which is off George IV Bridge St. which is just off High St. (The Royal Mile) close to the castle. Go to googlemaps.com, type in the address, and you'll be able to locate it easily. You can use the street view to "walk" to it before leaving home. You can't miss the bleue façade. We've never had a problem being seated at lunch, but dinner reservations are advised. Small place, same ownership for years, and excellent food. You can check menus on their web site. They also have another location in Edinburgh with a slightly different name.

A helpful (local) woman we met at the Belfast airport recommended The Muddler's Club in the city center area. We tried it for lunch yesterday and highly recommend it. Delicious food, good service, reasonable prices.
A little challenging to find, because it's at the end of an alleyway (we almost gave up), but there is a small sign painted at the entrance to the alley.
