This was my favorite meal of the trip. Only ~$100 USD no additional tips needed with NINE COURSES packed with local seafood and produce The waiter even said they picked the mushrooms from ACROSS THE STREET Had the best time here - not pretentious, open space, super approachable and open, great staff +phenomenal flavors Definitely a MUST SAVE already dreaming about going back

Touring Ireland and need a reliable foodie spot in Dublin? Didn't bring a suit and tie? Unpretentious and friendly, with top notch food and wine pairing. Quality all around. The tartare, smoked and lacquered sea trout, and salt aged pork stole the show. House made sourdough and typically fantastic Irish butter complement the entire meal. Fantastic funky wine selections for the pairing. Definitely worth a visit.

Exceptional food - best I had in Ireland, and among the best in my life. Worth the visit - every dish was unique, amazing, and tasty. Bread and butter was a nice start, and the ambiance is nice casual! Also veg and pescatarian friendly if you request! The actual experience was on the longer side - 3 hours total, and the service was impeccable. Wines were expectional and well priced. Overall - cannot recommend this place enough - included are many photos of this experience which was a highlight of ours to the country!!

We aren't the fancy type but a friend recommended Bastible while in Dublin and she said it was her absolute favorite. The restaurant only had about 9 tables (mostly for two's) and the ambiance was not overly fancy but inviting and authentic and it has an open style kitchen. The menu is preset which we didn't mind at all and we did review it ahead of time before placing the reservation. Everything was carefully crafted and the whole experience was a perfect way to start a trip. The food is exactly what you would expect from a high end restaurant. Everything was dynamic and well thought out. 5 stars!!

This if the official splurge meal. We went for lunch and the chef's menu was so damn good. Make a reservation and go all in here. The flavors are unique and adventurous. Each course kept getting better and better. I was so impressed, that even a 3 course turned into 5+. The perfect amuse bouche, extra dessert and more. The duck breast was perfection. The cheese plate was a great taste of Ireland dairy. We had great wine recommendations for pairing and the server was the best. I'm so thrilled that we made it here during our visit to Dublin.

If nothing else, come here for the desert of Pain Brioche THE BEST DESERT EVER! I actually shared it with a coworker which was a major mistake of mine. The menu is very elegant and definitely for a more experienced pallet. I believe the menu does change on a regular basis so I won't go into too much detail on the food. It did look and taste great. The atmosphere inside the restaurant is quite good- it's small but by no means do you feel claustrophobic. Our waiter was very friendly and also knowledgable when it came to the wine. The price range is for sure a little steep but you are getting high quality food. Good for groups and perfect if you live in Portobello.

This has to be my #1 restaurant this year. Adventurous us, went for the chef's menu and were bowled over. 4 starters, a main and the best dessert. Since I can't remember the names, I've attached pictures to tell my dining story. The house red is an Albizu tempranillo, and we're looking to source a bottle. It was a great compliment for our meal. If you do decide to go to Bastible, be adventurous and order the chef's menu.

Delicious beef
William M.

An outstanding meal. We had heard great reports and were expecting dreamt things, and they delivered. We started with a selection of starters, a lovely gigas oyster, some gorgeous taramasalata, a croquette of broccoli and cheese, a beetroot salad with a soft goats cheese and Caramelised walnuts, and finally ducks heart with wild garlic and polenta to die for, sensational. For mains we had the roast beef for Madame and the black sole for me. This was as accomplished I meal I have eaten anywhere, confident well executed cooking, and the wait staff are utterly charming. Desert was a warm brownie and a poached rhubarb. Both excellent, the rhubarb won out, perfectly poached retaining just enough structure and not too sweet. I cannot wait to return, thank you.

Delicious lamb
Micah C.

FINALLY had the chance to experience Bastible last weekend and within 24 hours I had scheduled a return booking there for next month. While I might have no idea how to pronounce the name, there is no question that they know food. Everything from my tuna tartare snack to the lemon tart with earl grey ice cream were fantastic. For my main I had the lamb which is one of the most memorable lamb dishes I have had. It was smoky and so tender and just delicious. Bastible has a relaxed atmosphere and you can pick how glutenous you want to be with the two-course, three-course or full monty with three-course and a snack. They also have a nice wine list with several options under €40. Looking forward to next month!

Expected a lot thanks to great write-up in Conde Naste magazine. Our expectations were comfortably surpassed. Friendly staff, great meal and excellent wine choice. The main meal of black Angus flank was absolutely out of this world. To shine in Dublin you have to be spectacular. Bastible is.

For starter I had Spring salad with smoked ricotta and pistachio.

When we decided on traveling to Dublin, we thought the winding stair looked particularly nice and…read morebooked a dinner here. We were very happy we did! The spot is located up a literal winding staircase that takes you into an inviting room that boasts a lovely view of the river below. We didn't go to the third floor, but I can imagine it was equally lovely. They've got an impressive wine list and a moderate beer list that's predominantly bottle. Interestingly they don't have spirits so the mixed drinks are wine cocktails - boss! I tried a white port and tonic drink - seriously next level! I don't often find wine cocktails and even more rarely are they really good! The menu is impressive and seasonal, save the potted crab and haddock, which are on all the time. It should be know for any who dine with our crew, that we share a lot, so everything we had was enjoyed by all 5 of us. The crab was unbelievable! Creamy, flavorful, magical. The beef cheek and fish plate were also perfect for sharing. We also had two scotch eggs - these could have a Klondike bar (look it up youngins!) like marketing campaign! We shared the Haddock and the Pigs on Green Port Tenderloin. Both were awesome, with the Haddock more memorable. We haven't had such delicious mashed fish since Iceland and the cheddar mash and onions were the perfect accoutrement! The chocolate fondant was delicious and the bread and butter bread pudding was life changing. The whiskey sauce is something I'd swim in if given the chance! It was lick the plate good. The service was spot on and we got out of there for about €50 a person, full and happy! The whole evening was excellent and this place definitely deserves the accolades. If you're in the area, you should check it out!

This is evident by the name drop of some producers in each dish. My family was able to try a scotch egg for the first time, some beef cheek, crab and a charcuterie board with meats from Cork. Even the beers we ordered were local as well, mine from the Waterford area. Our server walked us through this experience with ease and we all couldn't be happier with our time here, especially for a Sunday afternoon when it could have been a lot louder and chaotic.

The ambience is trad Irish at bar with a very modern menu. The staff are really friendly and helpful. Roisin greeted us at the door and was super helpful making out choices for dinner. Though the patrons are packed in, the sound level was comfortable for conversation and tucked in the corner we had more room than most anyone else. The food was superb. There a Cajun influence to the chef's palate. The seafood chowder is a red chowder, a little spicy, and light. It's of course chock full of fish. The corn bread served with the soup is unique. I asked and the chef flavors the bread with Cajun spices. It's excellent. My wife chose the goats cheese salad. The pastry they held the salad and cheese was so delicate. Our entrees included the beef that melted in your mouth. It's served rare and it's totally tender. The sea bass was also excellent. It's served of the bone with mussels, brocholini in a curry based sauce. It was a very generous portion. The potatoes served with the dishes were great. My wife had a tawny port and I chose the cider-see pic. It was delicious and refreshing. We didn't enjoy dessert and so I can't comment. I highly recommend this place!

On our last day in Dublin, we had an early dinner at Platform 61, which we discovered through Yelp…read more-- so not quite a best-kept secret, but certainly a terrific hangout on South William Street. Usually, the dining room comprises an underground hideaway that is quite sleek and intimate. However, due to the lockdown measures, we had to do outdoor seating directly on William Street while we were there. The experience was still beautiful, thanks to the surrounding scenery. The cocktails were grand between the P61 Signature Cocktail and the Hugo -- both prosecco-based cocktails. The former was delicious between the peach puree and prosecco, while the latter was a little more tart with the elderflower cordial. For dinner, we kicked things off with gluten-free bread with a trio of dips that were quite tasty. The Tortellini I ordered was exquisite and scrumptious with how it was prepared between the goat cheese, asparagus, red onion, wilted spinach, cream sauce, and bacon. I applauded this lovely dish with the last bite. I devoured the warm almond flour brownie for dessert, served with chocolate sauce and gelato, which my wife could also enjoy since the dish was gluten-free. Overall, Platform 61 was a great way to conclude our second Irish journey. We will return, especially to enjoy the underground dining area.

What a beautiful event!…read more i've noticed events like this creep up in popularity around Dublin and isn't it a richer place for it. I know it sounds cheesy, but it's nights like this that instill in you a pride in being Irish, and a pride in our past, present and future. Honestly there were some parts that gave me goosebumps, the type I get every now and again when I'm wandering around the city and realise that after eight years away, I can honestly say there is no place in the world I would rather live right now. It's hard to decide what the highlight is. I won't go into massive detail as those before have, but allow me to point out the bones of what makes this into such a gorgeous way to spend a Saturday; - The setting. Old Georgian wooden stairs that are worn down in the middle by hundreds of years of stepping on them, the old crumbling cornicing, the candle lit old antique tables. - The food. Each course was a perfect size, and the perfect representation of modern x traditional Irish cuisine. Quality ingredients, beautifully presented - The talks in between courses by food historian Máirtín Mac Con Iomaire. Funny, informative, nostalgic, and funny again. If you didn't pick up on it already, I would highly recommend this as a night out. For any age, those who live here and are visiting, those who grew up here and those that are now making Ireland their home.

This night was the ultimate night of magic and delicious food - I just had the best time ever here,…read moreand am still thinking about it now. It's a wonderful way of enjoying some Irish history, poetry and music with delicious food. I knew we were in for an amazing night from Emily C's review but I was still totally blown away. Sure, the building itself is a little old and run down, but once we were seated and enjoying the food and wine, that didn't matter. Our host for the evening was awesome, lots of banter and amazing stories. It was really captivating and enjoyable hearing him speak, since and recite poems between courses. Everything was linked back to the food which was just as amazing - traditional Irish scran but served up a bit fancier than normal. Kind of like if your Mum went to a class to learn how to plate her Sunday meals in a nice way? I really enjoyed the food and only the main needed more sauce but they happily delivered us some. Yum. What a fabulous evening, this was a beautiful way to experience Dublin in all its glory.

The lunch special was a pulled pork sandwich on a brioche bun with a cup of soup of the day. It wasn't like the pulled pork we have in the states. It was more chunks of pork than strands.

My husband and I each had a starter, main, and shared a dessert. He had the soup (of the day? I can't remember), and I had the hummus. Soup was sweet potato and red pepper, he said it was great. Came with brown bread. The hummus was really yummy, came with pita and raw veggies to dip. For the mains, I had the chicken supreme and he had the fillet. Both of us ended up stuffed, but very happy. Neither of us had tried sticky toffee pudding before, so we ordered that for dessert. I'm glad we shared - it's VERY sweet. But we enjoyed it anyway. Highly recommend everyone flock this place now it's reopened. Quick note: the restaurant is upstairs, so the sign is pretty small and discreet, but they also had an A-frame out front when we were there.
