We 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 Justin

Lovely 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 Landes

World 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!

Seasonal Irish ingredients are cooked inventively, but approachably. The whiskey and citrus-cured salmon is a particular delight, as is the puntastic “tongue ‘n’ cheek” Guinness pie . Read more

Who Said So

Gorgeous 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 Kim

2 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 Hannrachain

A 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 Phillips

Lamb 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 .

PaulaQuinoa

Elegant and charming restaurant . Fantastic view beside the window. The salmon is delicious, high quality. Early dinner better price!

Michael Fox-Rabinovitz

A top notch meal from presentation to taste to service. Had pork terrine , melt in your mouth beef cheeks and bread ice cream

Tero Angeria

Fancy 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 Breslin

Amazing 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 Pham

A lovely little restaurant doing lovely New Irish fare. Order the pork terrine if it's on the menu!

Beautiful food. I had Pork & Ham croquettes , Salmon and Rhubard & Custard for desert . Tried a bit of the baked potato soup which was lovely too????????

Onur HLVC

The best free range chicken I’ve ever eaten ???? Strongly recommeded...

JK

Try Jaffa Cake

Alexandra Butova

Just so you know - it's not a pub ! It's a restaurant : wine , fancy food, etc.

Tracy Antol

Goat curd appetizer . Rib eye with bone marrow and truffle mash potato

sara aswegan

Be 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.

JP

Awesome meal. Really friendly staff . The owner served us the best Irish coffee I've ever had. Wonderful place!

Sara P

Very 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!

Heléne Björkman

Great pigs cheek and wonderful cod

Angela Clarke

We had one traditional Irish stew and one lamb shank. Both was great. Good ambience too with real locals. Delighted to find out that this is one of the older pub in town where writers used to meet. - Yilin Z
