Best fish & chips I ever ever had
Liberty G.

Absolutely wonderful food matched by the beyond lovely staff. We had four delicious meals since we were staying at the attached Harding Hotel. Great friendly atmosphere, well lit dining area with beautiful stained glass and conveniently located across from Christ's Church. All the staff were so friendly, personable and extra sweet to my mom. They really made us feel welcome on our first night in Dublin. Dining as a family of five we each ordered a variety of food and shared amongst ourselves. Enjoyed were the full Irish and vegetarian breakfasts, beef Guinness stew (very rich), Irish smoked salmon with eggs, their signature omelette, homemade seafood chowder (perfection), brioche french toast, brown bread with butter, Irish soda bread (addictive), Korean chicken wings, and a variety of beers and cocktails. The stand out star by far was the fish & chips--large pieces, light & airy breading, no excess oil. Really the best I've ever eaten. I would say that the portions served of everything was very generous, so bring your appetite.

We had breakfast here & the food was fantastic! I had the french toast & my husband had eggs, bacon, tomato, & mushrooms. Everything was delicious & the staff was so friendly!

We had a great lunch here on a rainy afternoon. I had the seafood chowder and it was wonderful. It featured a huge portion of mussels along with salmon, prawns, and other fish (I think maybe haddock). Everything was flavorful and fresh and the broth was excellent. The chowder came with fresh bread and butter. This plus a pot of tea was a great way to warm up before heading back out for more sightseeing. Others in my group had the stew and fish and chips; they greatly enjoyed their meals as well. Service was excellent and the atmosphere was relaxed with lovely decor.

Great food... cute little spot to sit and watch the busy streets of Dublin. Service was quick and attentive. Food was delicious. Definitely recommend stopping here especially after visiting the Dublin castle.

Beef stew
Maurice L.

Popped in for a bite to eat. The resultant was clean, the staff was pleasant and very attentive. I was seated right away. I had the beef stew and I was absolutely delicious!! The chocolate eclair was just ok but the ice cream that came with is was amazing.

Darkey Kelly's wouldn't seat is with a child so they sent us next door and we were not disappointed. For our first real meal in Ireland this set a great tone! Everything was amazing, especially the desert. The portions were huge and the service was great.

Don't make the same mistake as us and not make a reservation, we got VERY lucky we were staying at…read morea nice hotel next door that could get us in because HOLY COW. This might be one of my favorite meals of all my travels. We were immediately seated and taken care of in a small cove. It was very secluded and quiet for a nice date night. The service was on top of it, someone at the table every few minutes. It's definitely an experience. They have some phenomenal wine options by the glass or bottle. We started with the avocado ponzu which omg really set the stage, it had perfect flavors. My fiancé got the duck, which was so tender and flavorful and the pepper sauce (mousse?) was to die for. I got the potato dumplings on the vegetarian menu and they had chunks of perfectly cooked morels! The sauce and the flavors were so delicately paired and showed the no brainer of why this spot is recognized my Michelin. We also got the side of carrots and the aroncini, both super tasty. It was a wonderful meal, definitely an experience. I was impressed with the prices, I expected much more expensive for a place of this type, but it's very fair and makes it attainable for almost anyone to splurge on a delicious meal. 1000000/10 probably one of the best restaurants I've eaten at, highly recommend.

The gentleman who greeted me was pleasant and took my coat and offered to take my bag as well. I was escorted to the second room where multiple individuals were there to greet me. They recommended a berry vodka martini to start. It was sweet but not overpowering. I was given an appetizer of the tartare which was beautiful and delicious. For dinner I ordered the halibut with broccoli as a side. I would have sworn the halibut was cooked sous vide (don't know if that's how it was but it was amazingly soft and delicate). I could have ate the broccoli as a full meal it was amazing. The team here would come and check on me and have casual conversations with me. They were engaged and I enjoyed the conversations. For dessert I chose the crème brûlée. This was probably the best brûlée I can remember ever having. As most places in Europe there was no rush and I enjoyed my experience peacefully. Everyone thanked me for coming and the gentleman at front recalled the rest of my time here and conversed a bit before leaving. I loved this place and absolutely will recommend making a reservation here.

The absolute best meal we had during our stay in Dublin in July/Aug 2025…read more After stopping in another restaurant nearby that a local recommended and receiving the worst seats and attitude, we decided to leave without placing an order and find something else because no way.. life is too short. We walked around the corner, I saw Pichet and immediately remembered it from my trip research. I was visiting Ireland with my mother who is not an adventurous eater, so I looked at the menu online - found a lovely pasta dish that she would enjoy and she agreed to go. Turned out to be a great decision and a very memorable meal in every way. Service was wonderful... attentive, charming, and funny. Wine was perfection. And the meal was outstanding. My mom had the Knockanore cheese agnolotti with girolles, baby courgette, lovage and hazelnut pesto, and I had harissa spiced local lamb shoulder with tomato cumin puree, smoked yoghurt, roasted gnocchi, courgette and basil. We also shared two desserts, an Île Flottante with creme anglaise, Irish strawberry, strawberry prosecco sorbet, and an almond and black sesame tuile as well as the tropical themed and highly recommended coconut parfait with rum roasted pineapple, passion fruit gel, and coconut sorbet. Perfection. We chatted with a lovely local lady next to us for a bit and then two delightful & vivacious young women who arrived shortly after. One from Italy and one from Mexico. This is part of why I love travel. I recommend making reservations or arrive on the early side if you want to try your luck without one. We were able to get a seat in the bar/lounge area early as a walk in. All in all, I couldn't have asked for a better experience. 10000/10000 would go again.

It came with an appetizer main and dessert. I forgot what appetizer I got, but my main was veal and dessert was carrot cake. I don't remember what my appetizer was but it was tasty. My bf got the smoked salmon with dill sauce which I remember because it was different. The veal was amazing. Cooked perfection. Carrot cake was more bread like than i expected. Definitely not like the American cream cheese frosting carrot cake however still delicious. The meal was amazing and something I look forward to again!

Just over the Sean O'Casey bridge and right in the heart of uber-sleek IFSC shopping district, this is the kind of restaurant I wouldn't mind making a habit of. Our table was in the rooms under the main restaurant, enjoying a full view of the massive wine vault (glass fronted for maximum drooling) and stand-and-your-there bar access. The restaurant was buzzing that night but we could have been the only table there. The staff were, as to be expected, experienced professionals - suggesting wine / food combinations with practised calm. After a starter of oysters I opted for steak (done rare, pinking my mash so deliciously) and a good glass of red. If my little notebook could fit in my fashionably slim clutch, I could report on the name and pedigree of the selection. Suffice to say, it was tasty! Finishing off with espressos and a chocolate marquis, we raised our glasses, toasted the evening and wondered how to finagle another visit.

The authentic Victorian setting, the Victorian mahogany fittings, the mosaic marble tiled floors and granite tabletops, the mahogany bar, capped with red Connemara marble, follows the classic Victorian architectural pattern.

Tucked down Dame Court just off Dame Street, The Stag's Head is one of those rare pubs that feels genuinely historic rather than designed to look old. The building dates to the late 1800s, and the interior retains the ornate features of a classic Victorian "gin palace"--rich carved wood, stained glass, brass rails, and a warm, glowing bar that feels wonderfully preserved. We stopped in around 4:30 pm, which turned out to be a perfect time to visit. There were other patrons enjoying drinks and food, but the atmosphere was calm and relaxed rather than loud or rowdy. It felt like the kind of place where locals drop in for a quiet pint on their way home from work before the evening crowd arrives. The staff were excellent--friendly, welcoming, and attentive without being intrusive. The food was very good (we failed to take photos because we were too busy enjoying it). As a vegetarian, I was thrilled to see the Impossible burger front and center on their menu; it was deliciously prepared with guacamole on a brioche bun, and not an afterthought on the menu. My companions both chose the Irish Beef Burger, and said it was excellent. One thing to know: this is a traditional Victorian pub, so cocktails aren't really part of the program. Expect beer, wine, or spirits rather than mixed drinks. In a place like this, that actually feels exactly right. Other pubs do serve mixed drinks. Between the history, the ambience, the quality of the food, and the wonderful staff, The Stag's Head is the kind of place that makes you feel like you've experienced a real piece of Dublin.
