September — Restaurant in Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown

From the moment we stepped into this charming restaurant, we knew we were in for something special. The setting itself is beautiful – intimate without feeling crowded, with a lovely rustic décor that immediately sets the tone. Old-style chairs, tables, plates and antique touches give the space a warm, timeless character that makes you feel both welcome and intrigued.

The menu is not extensive, and that is a strength rather than a weakness. Each dish feels deliberate, carefully thought out and crafted with intent. What we ordered was exceptional – every plate that arrived was a feast for both the eyes and the palate. The presentation was elegant and the flavours were layered and balanced. You could taste the care and precision in every bite.

Equally impressive was the team working the floor. The staff were outstanding: attentive without ever being intrusive, quick to notice and respond to every table’s needs and genuinely warm in their interactions. Watching them work together was a delight in itself – there was an easy camaraderie and efficiency among them that added to the overall atmosphere.

This restaurant is a rare find – a place where everything seems to come together effortlessly: the food, the service, the setting. It was, quite simply, an excellent experience from start to finish, and I can’t...

I finally had dinner here last week after 6/7 amazing lunch/brunch visits and it was absolutely the best meal I have had in Dublin in a restaurant that doesnt have a Michelin plac of some description on the wall. Up there with Etto - the 3 time Best Restaurant in Ireland!

Chefs Menu is €62 and 6 courses with the weekly Chefs Dish a rotating seasonal offer of the BEST produce they can get their hands on that week. In an industry being destroyed by copy/paste corporate eateries that leave you feeling like you've been mugged off - this meal is incredible value. We were absolutely stuffed at the end.

Wine list is a mix of big classics, accesible easy drinkers, and more impressively, some really interesting and cool modern wines blending old school techniques with new grape varieties. Will the owner knows his stuff and is more than happy to talk you through the list. We had a pet nat made in the classic Champagne style and a couple of aperitifs - delicious.

The service, like the ambience, is chill and upbeat, without losing the sense that you are in a restaurant that cooks SERIOUS food. Well done to the whole team - its absolutely whopper.

Can't...

I have ordered the salad in the lunch menu which is described to contain feta cheese, pomegranate seeds, walnuts, blood orange, orange vinaigrette and other dressings… however what I got was completely different and as in the picture and had nothing go do with what is described in the menu. Also ordered coffee for sit in and got served in a takeaway cup. I have reported back and was then told that there has been a change in the menu (after I was served with what you can see and after I complained to one of the staff) Although it does not make sense with how the dish looked like, however it should be removed/edited on the menu and it shouldn’t be served in that way and since the staff know what they are serving. I understand that I have been offered a refund or another meal after my complaint but being served with that dish without any explanation (or acting as if it’s normal) seems disrespectful. I have also been given an alternative meal after my complaint to the staff. I Gave a private feedback on instagram but was ignored for over a week and received a response once I shared my experience here on public...
