I ordered a different wine as they don't sell Chardonnay by the glass .. ok .. but the new wine was extremely nice so I was happy . The starters of garlic mushrooms are to die for , and my hubby really enjoyed his wings. Unfortunately I was really let down by my main course of tagliatelle pasta w mushrooms, garlic , cream , chicken . It was so disappointing.,not creamy , not garlicky , just watery and flavour less . Even with extra Salt and extra parmigiana. The lovely waitress was very good to take it off the bill as I didn't eat it . Would def go again and try Something different

One needs to eat at this restaurant just for the novelty of saying "I've eaten at Butt Mullins"…read more It's old, nice, charming and has good service, good food and it isn't expensive. We ordered from the early bird menu. We started with a melon salad and bruschetta. Very nice. My wife had a steak, I had spinach and ricotta ravioli. Again, it was truly good. We finished it all off with a classic Aussie desert of pavlova. Butt Mullins is filled with history. The whole night was an experience which we both heartily recommend. We ate well in Ireland with only one lousy meal (Fish and chips in Dublin). If you get the opportunity, Butt Mullins is a pretty good place in which to spend an evening.

We were seated in an alcove that almost felt like a cave and a candlelit table added to the cozy feel. After we ordered fresh warm walnut bread arrived which we really appreciated. For starter we shared chilli prawns which came with samphire. Samphire is something new which i have never tried before but will definitely be trying to order again as it was delicious. For main i had a really big portion of duck breast, confit of duck leg and quinoa in a banana leaf. I almost licked my plate it was so good! To finish we had the chocolate mousse which is super rich and i loved it!

The quality of the food is very good, reasonably priced and its really very hard to fault the place. The service is friendly and efficient and the decor is warm and interesting. Last Saturday we had dinner here again in a foursome. We went for the EU21 Early Dining Menu - which was available all evening. This menu also included a Chef's Special starter and a Special Main course in addition to a good range of other dishes including vegetarian options. Wine and beer are served. Definitely recommended for quality, value and an enjoyable night out. Its important to make a reservation for weekends.

Great location, close to lots of tourist attractions, highly recommend.

Excellent restaurant! We came here about 30 minutes before closing on our first night in Dublin and…read morethe kitchen was still open so we ordered the goat cheese and portobello starter. It was excellent and the service was so pleasant and the dinner menu looked very good so we decided to return for dinner with 2 guests. We had the goat cheese and portobello starter again. The goat cheese is an award-winning Irish artisanal cheese. We had the pan-fried sea bream with the tomato and red onion dressing, the soy and ginger glazed poussin with coleslaw and chunky chips, the beef and Guinness stew with puff pastry lid, and the lamb shank with carrot and parsnip purée. We finished with the sticky toffee pudding with butterscotch sauce and vanilla ice cream. Everyone enjoyed their meals very much and the people who work here are really nice. (Our 2 starters, 4 entrees, 2 desserts, bottle of wine, and 2 coffees cost 117 EUR plus tip.) Even though this restaurant is listed as French (which I don't see as a positive) on Yelp, I would say it is more modern European with modern takes on classics such as Irish Stew and Lamb Shanks as well as other dishes. They are located one block south of the O'Connell bridge, not far from Trinity College. They have free wifi and accept credit cards.

On this particular day I ordered the Chorizo Benedict and it definitely looked good. All the ingredients were cooked enough but the flavor's didn't blend as much as I'm used to with Benny's. I think I would of liked it more if the Hollandaise sauce had just a little bit more flavor. Aside from that the decor is stunning and the staff like most people I've met in Ireland, were super kind!

This was about 2.30 with the advertised closing time at 3, so we thought we'd have to settle for take out. Not a bit of it. We were waved to a table in a surprisingly small but cozy room just as a massive posse of, I'm guessing, law students from Blackhall Place also descended. Anyway, service was brisk and there seemed to be no pressure to leave so we upped our order to a spectacular BLT served with excellent chips. My companion ordered a scone which was pretty good too. Coffee was excellent. Will go back for a more substantial meal next time. The omens were pretty good.

Ate here a while ago, and forgot to complete my review. It is a bit outdated, but still helpful to…read moresome I hope. The Greenhouse seems to be the "it" restaurant in Dublin at the moment. There has been much fanfare with the opening of the restaurant, and its chef, Mikael Viljanen. Although only opened for several months, many are anticipating a Michelin Star from The Greenhouse. Unfortunately, The Greenhouse did not get a Michelin start this year, but they are definitely headed in the right direction. Chef Viljanen is very creative and many of the dishes have a molecular gastronomy spin on them. The restaurant is extremely small, only 40 seats. Eating at The Greenhouse is more of an experience, so they won't rush you out the door trying to turn over tables. With all of the recent publicity, trying to get a reservation isn't easy at the last minute. It is suggested that reservations be made at least one week in advance. I was fortunate to get a lunch reservation. I had tried to walk-in the night before, but there were no openings and the kitchen was closing. We decided to eat at One Pico instead and the General Manager there, Andrew, called The Greenhouse to see if they could squeeze us in the following day. He was able to get a lunch reservation, and the General Manager, David O'Brien, from The Greenhouse even came over to One Pico to introduce himself and said he was looking forward to us eating there the following day. We ordered the Chef's Choice Five Course Tasting Menu. The meal started off with an amuse bouche of a maitake mushroom cream puff. A perfectly light and crunchy cream puff shell encasing, a rich earthy filling of mushrooms. The first course was foie gras, royale and frozen, green apple and candied nuts. This dish is a grab bag of flavors, textures and temperatures. Pairing the earthy and velvety foie gras with the tartness of green apples, and the sweet crunchiness of nuts will keep your taste buds dancing and wanting more. The second course was a Jerusalem artichoke veloute with truffle oil. The soup is silky smooth. The truffle oil adds some richness and earthiness to the dish. A very well balanced course. The third course was cod, smoked mussels and cauliflower puree with hazelnut oil. The cod was cooked to perfection. Still slightly translucent in the middle, the delicate flavor rose right to the top. The smoked mussels were tender and did not overpower the cod. The cauliflower puree added some earthiness to the dish. A great way to start the meal. The fourth course was venison, pumpkin puree, roasted shallots and bacon. The venison was a perfect medium rare. The roasted shallots added some sweetness to the dish. The pumpkin puree added some earthiness, while the bacon added some saltiness and a textural contrast. The meal ended with a dessert of chocolate, carmelized onions, with sorbet and a mousse like dish, and milk solid crisps. The dish just did not work for me. The sorbet and mousse was strange to have as a dessert and was rather tart. Unfortunately, I cannot remember the name of the ingredient and lost my notes, but it is something that is usually associated with savory dishes rather than desserts. To me it did not pair well with the chocolate. The menu at The Greenhouse is very ambitious and creative, but certainly in the right hands with Chef Viljanen at the helm.

My fish & chips was disappointing. The batter was too thick and though crispy on the outside it was…read moresoggy underneath. Batter was overwhelming for the amount of fish. The fries weren't great either, dry and lacking flavor. This was served with a decent tartar sauce, ketchup in a personal-size glass jar (fancy but wasteful) and a side of mushy peas. This was my first encounter with this strange-sounding food: literally mashed up green peas. These were livened up with mint and were a pleasing green color (though Wikipedia says this is usually from food coloring). The jury is still out on these but it was a change from the coleslaw I am used to. The wife's Eggs Benedict however was very good. Eggs cooked exactly as she requested, baby spinach, honey roast ham, herb salad, sourdough, and an excellent hollandaise sauce. As for service, no issues. The room was clean and comfortable but perhaps more formal than I prefer (this was a hotel restaurant). At the time we were there only the weekend brunch menu was available but I did look at the dinner menu. Plenty to choose from. And I expect most of the offerings are good, the fish & chips excepted. Though honestly, as a tourist, I found the place a bit too generic, so for our next meals we sought out spots with a more authentic local feel.
