😐 Not impressed. The smoked eel tartine was tasty but literally a bite (€5). The sea bream was smothered in the sauce and was lost - it could have been anything in there (€14). The yellowfin tuna was very good (€15). The farfalle with girolle mushrooms was tasty but way too small of a portion for €27.... People often mention wine, good, great, small, amazing, quality, menu, lunch,

    Not impressed. The smoked eel tartine was tasty but literally a bite (€5). The sea bream was smothered in the sauce and was lost - it could have been anything in there (€14). The yellowfin tuna was very good (€15). The farfalle with girolle mushrooms was tasty but way too small of a portion for €27. The salted cod with butter beans was oversalted, the beans were undercooked and the sauce was watery - and the portion too small for €27. The butterhead lettuce was great (€5). The fried dauphinoise side was tiny (€6). The poached apricot dessert was ok (€10) and larger in portion than the main courses. €146.50 with a glass of wine (€13), a beer (€7,50) and a small Negroni (€12). Poor value for money imho. Service was good. Place is nice, but they need to work on the food and improve the portions.

    Busy for a reason, the food is eclectically tasty. The sommelier is genius and recommended a chilled red that was burstingly brilliant. Talented chefs.

    Great place for wine, they have a great quality selection. The staff is very friendly and experienced with wine so they'll help you choose. The food is quite good and made with quality ingredients, but I felt it was overpriced considering the small portions. The menu is small which usually means food quality. I loved that they called us in the morning to ask if we had any dietary requirements. A lovely place!

    Came here for a dinner with colleagues on a Thursday evening. We ordered a wide array of dishes to share and couldn't fault any of them. Most noteworthy were the pillowy gnocchi, zesty ceviche and sourdough bread. Excellent wine list. All natural I believe and a good selection of more niche varieties like orange. Given the number of drinks and spread of food, I really felt the price was very reasonable. It's hard to find dinners of this quality in Dublin!

    One of my favorites restaurants of Dublin so far!! All the dishes we ordered were amazing and the quality of the products was super good. However, I found the restaurant too expensive considering the size of the portions.

    A Great restaurant in Dublin, with a lovely short wine list focuses on Natural Wines. The dishes are pretty and tasty, great ingredients and amazing flavours I believe they are using superb producers of the green fresh clean air of Ireland. Service attentive without being pretensions. We went for Sunday lunch which is on the set menu 4 course. Loved every aspect of the place. Highly recommend

    Very good, if slightly overpriced. Lamb was delicious, tender, but probably lacked a sauce or maybe even a small bit of green veg... Desserts were slightly underwhelming. Service was good. Atmosphere nice. Overall I'd return.

    An extremely affordable lunch menu considering the quality of what you get. I never really eat beef tartare, and while it was nice I just don't think I'm a fan 😅 The cornichon added a nice piquant spritely touch, and while it might seem a small thing the well-toasted, salted sourdough was pretty key. The ray wing was amazing - slightly caramelised and lightly crunchy outside, flaking, tender meat (and a lot of it). The mousseline and brown butter added a richness in flavour and texture that (like the starter) was balanced by capers. A mostly straightforward but excellently executed meal.

    Note really exceeded my high expectations. Amazing starters with balanced flavour and bold recipes. The mains were also amazing. All the amazing food was paired with one of their many fun and unique wine bottles. The staff was great, experienced and proactive. The overall vibe was amazing. It was perfect to start the weekend on a good "Note"

    Excellent wine list and great value wines by the bottle. Have been here for wine and snacks on a number of evenings and went for the set lunch last week. Staff were super attentive, and the three courses were incredible. At €35 for three courses there are not many lunch spots that offer such good value for this level of food and service. Already made another booking for lunch in the coming weeks.

    Here’s the thing great waiter fantastic knowledge of an amazing wine list and menu. The monkfish and duck were delicious but expensive for very small portions, we left hungry. Duck took nearly an hour to arrive, side dish never arrived. And wine by the glass were stingy for the price. On top of that the restaurant was cold, which may have made the sting of prices even worse.

    Very lovely place! The simplicity of the interior design is impressive and leaves no one indifferent! Excellent service! Delicious food and great wine list! Especially liked the oysters with cucumber and ginger dressing! Rich coffee is perfectly complemented by desserts!

    I had an incredible dining experience at this restaurant! The service was top-notch, and the risotto and lamb dishes were on the highest level of deliciousness. However, I must mention that they offer a Russian salad on their menu, which might be considered inappropriate given the current political situation. It would be great if they could consider renaming or altering the dish. Overall, the restaurant is fantastic, and I highly recommend it for its exceptional food and service.

    When I booked for Friday night dinner I thought I would be enjoying dinner outside in late summer sunshine There is a storm and the weather is awful I am inside and the food is brilliant Great flavours, attention to detail, incredible flavours and in contrast to some of the reviews - not over priced given the world right now Jen was a great host and I would fully recommend

👍👍 After looking everywhere for lactose free milk, finally found it here in the food hall. Beautiful design, sort of art nouveau, with iron casted architecture, diverse shops and cosy interiors. Really recommend also for tourists who need to shop forgotten items.
