Amazing meal, easy tram ride from our hotel, great service. Highlight of our stop in Dublin. Best meal we had in Ireland, without a doubt. Presentation, preparation and service were immaculate - dishes were fresh and innovative. read more

What a wonderful experience. The staff was extremely attentive and friendly. The restaurant was quaint with super cool decor. The food was obviously-- out of this world. We came in as a party of three and all of us were just mind blown with every dish we tried. It sounds like they create a very seasonal menu, so this would be a wonderful place for you to visit multiple times! Our starters were gorgeous and each element had blasts of deep flavor. Extremely impressive. The entrees were even better. We very heavily enjoyed the vegetarian entrees because to make a veggie taste good you have to create something wild, and that is what they did. The cod was also incredible as well. Desserts, as expected were nothing short of perfect. We got all three that were on the menu and were more impressed with each one. Can't forget about the drinks! They crafted an INSANE vermouth and tonic that had so much depth we didn't even think was possible. I loved the orange wine they had too! I mean, I wish I lived in Dublin so we could have a date night here every season. This is not a place to miss out on. Sincerely, someone who loves good food and hates mediocre food. read more

This is one of the best cocktail bars I've been to! We came here on a Wednesday night and were absolutely enamored! The ambience is so incredible- it's cozy while being very upscale! We had the entire bar to ourselves which was also quite interesting and nice! The cocktails were pretty unique! I really enjoyed the berry cocktail! The service was great! I really liked our bar tender, she was friendly! read more

Normally I really enjoy coming here, but today was a letdown. The lunch menu missed the mark. We waited an hour for our mains, and when they arrived, the duck confit was accompanied by undercooked, tasteless beans that were inedible, not just for me, but for the table beside us as well. The white wine was served at room temperature, and the loud Brit rock playing in the background didn't suit the atmosphere at all. read more

Seriously one of the best meals of my life! The food was out of this world! Every bite packed with so much flavor! Great wine too! Staff was very friendly and talkative! Would absolutely visit again in the future! read more

I think 'shabby chic' is a good all round description of Delahunt. From the faded comfort of the upstairs cocktail bar to the down at heel feel of the main dining area, there is a sense of a premises badly in need of a facelift. That said, the food is excellent. Last time we were here there was a tasting menu which was simply sublime. This has now been replaced by a price fixe menu with two choices of starter, main course and dessert. My choice of quail and pork were both very tasty but the portions on both were laughably minuscule. Frankly, I was still hungry when I left. The wine list is extensive but I struggled to find anything below €50 and, since there were four of us, we spent well over €100 on two bottles of wine and that's simply unacceptable. It was a special occasion and t;he birthday girl was impressed but my credit card was not. I may be back but I'll factor in a trip to McDonald's afterwards for additional sustenance. read more

Excellent service. Lovely atmosphere. A great deal of care was given for each plate. Creative, yet direct menu each with a pleasant surprise. I'd recommend. Only improvement might be the music. (We might have been there on "hits of the 80's night ;-) ) read more

Did the tasting menu. It was delicious and surprisingly more filling than expected. The staff are very attentive and make it an experience for you. Building used to be an old post office which they maintained some of the structure. Very cool. read more

Exceptional tasting menu at the price. The building itself brings so much charm to the experience, with a secret bar upstairs, it's a full experience. The waitstaff was very friendly and attentive. The 5 course meal was just so good ( really more like 7 courses if you include the snack course & bread course). We absolutely loved almost every dish. Some highlights were the casear salad, corn pasta, and the coconut dessert. Only complaint was that they didn't have more drink options in the restaurant and we had one course that was just ok. All in all though it was really a great experience and amazing food. Would recommend to anyone visiting Dublin, it is worth the visit, you'll be so glad you went. read more

What a great evening, the final meal of our vacation. We did the 3 course option. Appetisers were spot on. The octopus was perfectly cooked. Mains, I had the market fish and my Son had the steak. Fish was amazing and the beef had amazing flavour but slightly undercooked for my sons taste. Deserts did not disappoint and the suggested wine were a great accompaniment. Thank you for a perfect ending to our vacation read more

Tasting menu was incredible. Really enjoyed the evening. The seating arrangement in the restaurant also provided nice privacy. Friendly staff and not too formal. I would rate the food here as up with most Michelin starred restaurants in Dublin. And at €80 for the tasting menu it is much more reasonable. 5 stars. read more

Absolutely 100% stoked on this experience. It's the first Michelin restaurant I've ever attended in my life and it was so perfect. The food was so thoughtful. Their cocktail menu is small, but that's probably better so they can focus on quality. I particularly enjoyed the tartare with the additional and unique meats. I definitely recommend Delahunt if you're looking for an excellent dining experience. Not much more to say! read more

Wow, superb! Delahunt was everything I expected and more. Each course was better than the last! It's a tiny restaurant, so reservations are a must. But, despite the lack of space, the ambiance is fantastic! Very romantic and the old fixtures/decor make you feel like you're transported to another time. I can absolutely see why Delahunt has the Michelin recommendation. I would love to come back! read more

The menu reads like a good book! Smaller sized portions but beautifully plated and delicious. Ham hock terrine and blowtorched salmon were wonderful! Mallard and Sirloin were very good as well. Service is attentive and friendly. Happy we came but we may need to grab some crisps or even a sandwich on the way back to the hotel. read more

Went along to Delahunt for a Christmas lunch with the work crew. We were surprised that when we turned up at 2pm that it was very very quiet - I had assumed the place would be crazy, but it seems that not that many people are aware of this little hideaway - all the better as far as I'm concerned, we can have it all to ourselves! Really really loved it. The decor is really special. They've kept a lot of the wood fittings from the original place by the looks of things which gives it all a sense of time, and history, but then they've added some really nice touches like contemporary prints and luxurious place settings to really up the ante. The food was superb. Excellent value at 22 euro for two courses. Really beautifully presented and the combination of flavours was excellent. I got the pear and blue cheese salad for starter and the potato cake, with hen's egg, kale & capers for main. I would say, like some reviewers before me that the portions definitely are pretty small. You do need to get some sides with it unless you aren't hungry at all. The service was attentive but not overly so, and very knowledgable about the food and wines. Winner all round, will definitely be back. read more

Very enjoyable meal here the other weekend! The space is cozy and equipped with a very cool bar. J and I had dinner on a Saturday and helped ourselves to our own starters, mains and desserts. The starters were slightly average but the mains and desserts were really nice. To start I had the tomato salad and J had the poached duck egg with greens. Might try different starters next time. After that I had the cod with veggies and J had lamb. Both were really flavourful and well portioned. To finish I had the lemon meringue and J had the dark chocolate tart. Both of them were unique and left us with a strong desire to book a return visit. Good wine list and they accept online reservations. Will return! read more

The food was faultless It now has a Michelin bib and I can see why I love the feel of the restaurant as it's reminiscent of 1920s not that I am that old. Excellent wine list by glass and we'll priced by bottle. The beef cheek special was so well cooked that it almost melted on my plate and my deer starter was perfect. Our waiter wasn't the best sadly and if he was on top of his game it would have been a 5. He spilled water and never noticed so called him back to wipe up. He seldom topped water up after that as he was clearly scared. Nice champagne to start. Nice wine and good desert and desert wine. A 4 might be picky but service played a big part when your at this end of the spectrum. I did notice the other staff and they were much more fluid and far more pleasant. The Guinness bread is addictive so be warned. All said I will one back and bring along others. read more

We came here for dinner on NYE. So walking in here is a little like stepping back in time. That's hardly surprising considering its housed in an old Victorian building. There, however, is nothing old fashioned about their food!!! Great selection of wine by bottle and glass. They're not badly priced either. We had the French cremant to start. They brought out bread which included an extremely addictive Guinness bread. For my starter I chose the smoked salmon which came with more Guinness bread and pickled cucumber. Delicious. I also tried some of the Sika deer carpaccio and the toast with bone marrow. Onto main course. I chose the pheasant which came with parsnip, sprouts and white pudding. I gave my sprouts away lol but the rest was absolutely fantastic!!! Dessert is almost always my favourite part of a meal. I went for the chocolate fondant which comes with an incredible salt caramel ice-cream and a praline. The food was outstanding. The only reasons for this not being a five star review are: The service was OK but our main waiter wasn't great. He spilled water on the table when he was pouring it out and had to be asked on his way back to mop it up as he just walked away! I didn't particularly like our table. I had the bad luck that the table behind me were a tad obnoxious and kept banging my chair as they walked to get to their seats. They were entirely unapologetic. I know you can't account for other customers but unfortunately the same thing happened when some of the staff were trying to get by to serve the table. I think I just would have preferred to have had a table at the side. Just a personal preference. With all that being said I would certainly recommend this place to everyone and will definitely try to visit again! What a great way to finish off 2015! They truly deserve their Michelin Bib. read more

Greatest restaurant in Dublin so far. Hake for main course was so soft and carefully cooked that it almost fell apart just by lookIng at it. Went for team dinner - and yes I picked the place after hearing fantastic experiences from here. It turned out to be all true. Had the group menu which is a mix of starters and then main + dessert. Starters included salmon, goat cheese salad, and pigs ears. First time I'm eating pigs ear and truly enjoying every bite - without at first realising what it was.. I knew it was delicious, and that was it. For dessert, I tried the blood grape tarte with mascarpone cream. At this point though I was so full I could have been without. But instead i also tried some of the warm chocolate cake with ice cream from my friend - and that bite turned out to be life changing. Omg. It might have been the greatest chocolate cakes in Dublins history. The ambience super cool but slightly loud. Very cozy though. Will be back sooner than later, and I can't wait. read more

The food is epic, but dear god SORT OUT YOUR SERVICE!!!!!! If a bill hits over 1k for a table, don't have waitresses who have been unpleasant all evening suddenly light up when they see their mandatory 12 1/2% show up. If they just ditched their staff and hired pleasant efficient people it would get a 5* all day long, but I just cant handle inefficiency and disinterest bordering on rudeness. read more

I totally agree with Emily and Linn. Along with Etto and Forest Avenue, this is my favourite restaurant in Dublin. We will go back again and again and again. It was that good. I called at 5 pm on a Thursday and get a table for 8 pm. I don't think that will be happening much longer, once everybody finds out about this place. It's lovely inside - we sat towards the back beneath two framed jung koch quentell botanical posters - and the service is friendly and relaxed. There was a (very) long gap between our starters and our mains, but once dinner arrived, that was quickly forgotten. To start, we had: WHITEBAIT - vey tasty Rouille SALAD OF DATTERINO TOMATO - a kind of re-imagined insalata tricolore Broad bean and buffalo mozzarella, fried bread and aged balsamic For dinner, we had: GUINEA FOWL - divine Roast breast and crisp leg, potato cake with Morteau sausage, pea, baby gem and buttermilk POTATO DUMPLINGS - sublime Summer vegetable, pea broth, Fivemiltown goats cheese BABY GEM, ANCHOVY AND PARMESAN DRESSING For dessert: CHERRY AND ALMOND CAKE - excellent Amaretto ice-cream The dumplings were... I'm not even sure how I could begin to describe them, other than that it was one of the most perfect plates of food I've ever eaten. And beautifully plated. Well done, Delahunt. read more

My boyfriend and I went to Delahunt on our last day in Ireland. It was definitely a treat. While a bit pricey for what I'm used to, the food was delicious. We chose the 2 course meal. I started with the Shredded ham hock , roast cabbage, confit egg yolk, smoked broth. It was so good. The ham added a bit of saltiness, which was delicious. My partner had the Homemade ricotta, Irish radish, lovage, which he really enjoyed. We also received complimentary bread and butter. One was a sourdough and the other was a brown bread with Guinness and treacle. When I asked the server what was in it, he offered more bread, which I gladly accepted. The server also helped me select a white wine that would compliment my meal, which paired perfectly! For my main course, I had the Pan roasted free range chicken breast, white beans, chorizo, truffle, chanterelles and chestnut. It was amazing. The white beans added some texture since they were cooked al dente. There was so much flavor to this dish. My boyfriend liked it more than what he had (which was the beef cheek). We opted to not have the dessert, although everything looked tempting. Overall, great experience, and I would highly recommend. read more

Definitely one of the best restaurants in Dublin, and one of the most memorable restaurants I've been, period. Every staff member was incredibly friendly and accommodating, and the food was outstanding and fresh. The cheddar cauliflower soup was perfect and the beet root salad with goat cheese was also as good as it gets. Everything else was top-notch from the desserts, to the fresh bread and salty butter brought to the table. Can't wait to hit this place again next time I'm in Dublin. read more

What a fabulous comfortable experience. Delahunt is an elegantly casual restaurant with the feel of a cozy bar. And indeed it does have a bar as well. The food was outstanding. We had the grilled Wye Valley Asparagus in hollandaise sauce with slow cooked egg and the Smoked Salmon followed by The market fish poached in shellfish stock and the salt aged sirloin of lamb that was so perfectly cooked to be tender, juicy and well flavored. The pressed potato with Connemara lamb was amazing. Paper thin slices of potato were layered with also paper thin slices of air dried Connemara lamb showcased some serious skills of the chef. It was an amazing side that well matched the quality of the rest of the meal. At the waiters suggestion we had a really nice, well bodied Pinot Noir from Germany that bridged the lamb and the fish quite nicely. The next time we are back in Dublin, we will be back at Delahunt. read more

Just found this place yesterday, and youll pardon if I gush, but the food atmosphere and service are fantastic. A good old style Victorian pub, which thankfully the owners/occupiers had the good sense not to rip out but instead embellish beautifully with a simple modern lighting and subtle fixtures to create a comfortable darkness. The staff are pleasant and efficient. The food-well I dont think I could do it justice. All I'll say it is one of the best examples of proper modern Irish cuisine Ive had the last 5 years. Good traditional dishes of a vanished Dublin, ox tongue, beef rump, smoked salmon to start, lambs, fish and chicken but unlike other places which take a good food source and a decent menu and turn it into an overly heavy stodgy slop, this is perfectly and lightly cooked with appropriate accompaniments.Like Le Bon Crubeen this is the best of Irish, one of those meals that makes you feel proud of your country. Please recommend to all visiting foreigners if you want to show this city at its best. Decent, refreshing cocktails too. Only actual downside I would say is I couldnt find a good, decently priced red wine to go with it. Cost wise, it isnt cheap, indeed on Fridays its more expensive, which is a pity cus if I could I would eat here every day. But it is most definitely a wonderful treat and ye know what-treat yo self!! read more

Went there for a Sunday brunch hoping to give a good treat to my friend Final result was an ok food with the worst service, the waiters was not pleasant at all and a bit snappy on the manner,food came average and I got my toast almost at the end of my meal and I have to ask twice butter was not include so i have to ask for it to , another friend join us but despite the empty place no one look after her and we had to get fork glass and the rest ourself and the menu as well, very nice the place but I will suggest to be more welcoming and review the menu ...for a brunch in Camden street you can get much better read more

Fabulous in every way, from the upstairs sitting room for drinks before dinner to the delicious creative food and attentive friendly service. The ambiance adds to the culinary experience.

Was on a layover for a night and a friend from Dublin suggested Delahunt. She was right, it is lovely. Very friendly and accommodating right from the start. Two of us were meeting friends that were already in Dublin on vacation. They let me pick the restaurant. We all couldn't stop talking about the food and service. We each had an App, Beef Tartar for me and it was delicious and fresh. Two Cod, one Lamb and one Wild Garlic and Goats Cheese Dumplings. It was like farm/garden to table. Flavors were beautiful. Lovely cheese board to finish.....ok, that's not completely true. After a couple bottles of wine, it's only fitting to finish with a cocktail. Four Old Fashioned and it was a complete dinner. The cocktails were served with a glass of ice and a flask on the side. Very cool idea. Great night and was top notch. p.s. I sent a couple from NYC to eat there and they did. They loved it. read more

Had a wonderful dinner here the night before Harry and Meghan's visit! The Guinness bread is amazing. Everything others have noted and more! I had the smoked salmon starter which was fabulous, others had the burrata and tomato salad and the tartare of beef which were also greatly enjoyed. My entree of roasted hake was really really delicious, an incredible combination of ingredients and flavors ...the pork belly was also good but the gnocchi entree was not as well enjoyed...heavier than expected. My lemon line posset dessert was fabulous...light, but intense flavor ...still thinking about it. The sundaes were also enjoyed. Highly recommend this restaurant...really a quality, delicious meal. read more

I'm on a roll with these five stars right now, but I can't think of a trendy upscale casual restaurant in Dublin that deserves it more than Delahunt. Everything about this place is amazing!!! I can't even remember how I stumbled across it online - but I'm so glad I did. Firstly, the design. Faultless. The restored building, glass, gold, shabby chic, glowing bar -- it's quite simply a beautiful place and you won't be able to tear your eyes away from the attention to every detail. Second, the service. Wonderful service, suggestions and pace. I still remember the bourbon chai and gulped down during our first course of a perfectly poached egg and asparagus. Our mains - the guinea fowl and lamb - were plated gorgeously and accompanied by two glasses of Pinot noir recommended by our waitress. Dessert was coffee with real cream (ahhh) and a salted caramel tart that blew me away. Not too expensive, full of ambiance and delivering on high quality food and drink: quite frankly a perfect place to visit with a few friends or a special date. Go!!! read more

From the moment we stepped off the street into the restaurant we had a faultless experience. That's really the only way to describe it. The decor and staff were enough to win us over, and then the meal arrived... It was the nicest meal I've had in a very long time, everything on the plate was well thought out and delicious. And the desserts were perfection! Highly recommend this place, we'll be back and then back again! read more
