Max SteerJanuary 1, 2018We came for lunch (3 course menu for 35€).Our best dining experience in Dublin! The salmon had a great natural quality, the guini fouwl was surprising and excellent. Nice dessert, service good. Toptip
Li JustinMay 4, 2017Lovely view and very friendly staff. Had the pig's head terrine, the pork belly, the sheperd's pie and the vanilla cheese cake. The pork belly really does melt in your mouth. Amazing!
Christy LandesSeptember 13, 2014World class food. The tasting menu is expensive but worth it to try a range of their very creative local food. I agree that 2 euros does not reflect the cost... Maybe that's lunch. Who cares!
- Who Said SoJuly 21, 2015Gorgeous pork belly with black pudding and butternut squash. That black pudding was the best I'd ever had - not grainy or metallic tasting at all. Simple classy atmosphere.
- Insook KimNovember 4, 20192 course lunch menu - grilled carrot salad & duck confit. The combination of ingredient and taste awesome! Duck is soft, but not greasy with sauce.
- Liam O HannrachainNovember 9, 2018A quintessential Irish restaurant. Amazing venue with warm service and food that really explores Ireland in the sense of a culinary journey. Lunch and dinner both equally delightful.
Adrian PhillipsMarch 6, 2016Lamb Shepherd's pie is definitely the way forward if you're looking for a good hearty meal. The wine list is excellent, try the Givry Pinot Noir if you're into reds. An excellent wine.
PaulaQuinoaJanuary 30, 2018Elegant and charming restaurant. Fantastic view beside the window. The salmon is delicious, high quality. Early dinner better price!
- Michael Fox-RabinovitzMay 25, 2015A top notch meal from presentation to taste to service. Had pork terrine, melt in your mouth beef cheeks and bread ice cream
Tero AngeriaDecember 3, 2014Fancy Irish pub food done right at reasonable prices! Nice selection of local craft beers and wines. Good for groups and for couples but remember to book to avoid disappointment.
Niamh BreslinJuly 10, 2016Amazing place to eat. Menu is consistently amazing and varied. Impressive staff. Get a table by the window for beautiful views into the grounds of Trinity College
Kim PhamNovember 13, 2015A lovely little restaurant doing lovely New Irish fare. Order the pork terrine if it's on the menu!
Adam LewisMay 29, 2016Beautiful food. I had Pork & Ham croquettes, Salmon and Rhubard & Custard for desert. Tried a bit of the baked potato soup which was lovely too👌🏼
Katherine BarnaNovember 3, 2014Do not miss this place if you're in Dublin. Fantastic everything (roast chicken, pig belly, Irish coffee) and service is fantastic. Make a res!
Ruby PorterJuly 14, 2017Fantastic early bird menu, great value! Would reccommend both the cod and chicken, throughly enjoyed it!
Allan BeaufourApril 16, 2016Lovely little restaurant with great food. Also sports a nice view of Trinity College
BlondieNovember 12, 2014Small, lovely and climate resturant. Little bit expensive but there is a nice set deal. The portions are small but tasty. Worth trying but nothing blow minding (except wine).
Oliver BeattieSeptember 8, 2014Absolutely amazing. The best meal we had in Dublin. Service was exceptional, good divine. A real hidden gem. Go!
Vasia MadesiApril 12, 2019I couldn't recommend more the Shepherds pie! Nice atmosphere, interesting spot. Must visit when in Dublin.- Pieterjan KurrisJune 29, 2015The roasted chicken and glazed pig belly were delicious. Although not cheap, it was more than worth it's price!
Erik MeylemansNovember 7, 2014Great service, great food. Indeed a hidden gem. And with opinel knives ;-)
TraceyJuly 9, 2012Great lunch deal! The menu offers a selection of the best of the more expensive dinner menu, providing the same portion size at a fraction of the cost.
Penny-Merelle GrayJuly 6, 2019Food is incredible! Small, restaurant, lovely atmosphere. Good for a special occasion!
Liz DauerJune 24, 2014Dinner was awesome!!! However, would consider it a bit pricier than only two $$. Well worth the money, just expect to break out the bucks.
Ellie T.August 23, 2014Fancy Irish pub food done right at a great value! Good selection of local craft beers.
Brad TNovember 9, 2014Five star food and service at reasonable prices. Outstanding, well prepared food all around.
Linda LuiAugust 6, 2013Excellent food, excellent service! Must try pork belly, it melts in your mouth! Make reservation!
Monica CullenMay 8, 2018Multilevel restaurant with a great menu. Slightly disappointed in the salad because it didn't appear as it was on the menu.
Angela LiuJanuary 22, 2020If you walk up the tiny staircase, you will be led into this homey irish restaurant.
Charlie BlacqueApril 16, 2012Particularly their lunch menu during the week. Two courses for €16 is great value for high quality ingredients.
Alexandra ButovaSeptember 5, 2014Just so you know - it's not a pub! It's a restaurant: wine, fancy food, etc.
sara asweganMarch 24, 2016Be aware there is a minimum order for lunch. Two people wanted only a main and the third a starter and we were either required to order a second starter for the third person or go elsewhere. Sad.
JPAugust 21, 2010Awesome meal. Really friendly staff. The owner served us the best Irish coffee I've ever had. Wonderful place!
Sara PFebruary 24, 2018Very disappointing experience. We waited for more than an hour for the main course and when we got it (we ordered salmon), it was very over cooked and way too salty. Cannot recommend!
