My husband and I spent two weeks touring a large amount of Michelin reviewed restaurants and this…read morewas the one that fell completely flat. My husband got the shrimp cocktail salad...it came absolutely saturated in sauce. The lettuce was cheap iceberg along with tiny fishy shrimp. There was nothing impressive. When I asked the waitress if she recommended the pecan chicken or the pulled pork, her only response was "well you can have chicken any day". No recommendation regarding flavor/texture. Lastly, our water was frequently empty, silverware fell off while plates were being set down by staff, wait staff seemed uninterested and rude. Overall just an odd experience and we were hoping for so much more.

The back corner contains a full range NEOM organic from London and Ireland's own Voya, all excellent premium products and beautifully displayed, but these skin care products and candles seem out of place in a coffee shop and the smells, while nice, can be overwhelming and uncomplimentary to your coffee or lunch. Like their fine dining establishment next door, the food is excellent.

Friendly staff, everything prompt and efficient. Nice ambiance and everywhere looked clean…read more Liked that seating was spacious enough that we weren't on top of other dinners but it was a bit annoying that staff kept kicking my chair while coming from the pass for dishes. Meals looked lovely and well presented. I went for the Beer battered fish option on lunch menu and my request for mash potato instead of the frozen chips was honoured. Unfortunately potatoes cold and even the warm dish they served in didn't improve temperature so I just had to eat some mash with every bite of fish so the meal wasn't spoiled. Not that I would have wanted the potato microwaved but they should have been tasted or checked before serving. Fish was oozing grease so had to soak it off both sides with the napkins. Fish should have been left to drain off a bit while the potatoes were being warmed. Anyway my sons huge Buttermilk Burger & chips went down a treat. Loved that tea came in a non drip teapot but would have been nicer with a spoon of sugar. After seeing my son drop 2 sugar lumps trying to retrieve them from a tiny jar that teaspoon didnt fit in put me off having any, especially realising that only little fingers could fit in that jar and wondering if the lumps fall out on others 'do they just pop them back in jar again'? More hygienic way of serving sugar should be looked at. Having seen the dinner menu I am interested to go back again and give the Hudson Rooms another try. The ambiance, pleasant staff and competitive pricing has warranted at least another visit with higher expectations.

After a full day exploring the historic grounds of Trinity College, we crossed the street for…read moredinner at The Pig's Ear, a Michelin-recommended restaurant that reimagines traditional Irish cooking with creativity, refinement, and genuine respect for the country's culinary heritage. We began with one of the evening's standout dishes: A layer of finely seasoned beef tartare topped with a plump oyster. It was essentially surf and turf in an oyster shell. It may sound like an unlikely pairing, but the briny sweetness of the oysters and the rich, velvety tartare complemented each other perfectly. Warm Guinness bread served with creamy Irish butter followed--a simple offering elevated by exceptional ingredients and flawless execution. For our mains, we chose two classics that perfectly captured the restaurant's philosophy. The Dublin coddle transformed a humble working-class staple into an elegant, deeply satisfying dish without sacrificing its comforting soul, while the Barnsley lamb chop showcased outstanding Irish produce through expert preparation and an impeccable sauce. Chef Stephen McAllister has built a menu inspired by centuries of Irish cookbooks, folklore, and family recipes, elevating familiar dishes through modern technique rather than reinventing them beyond recognition. It's a thoughtful approach that honors tradition while delivering a dining experience worthy of its Michelin recommendation. The setting is equally charming. Housed in a historic Georgian townhouse overlooking Trinity College, The Pig's Ear feels intimate, welcoming, and effortlessly elegant. Warm wood finishes, leather banquettes, soft lighting, and whimsical pig-themed accents create an atmosphere that invites you to linger. We arrived just after 5:15 p.m. and were fortunate to be seated by the front windows, where we enjoyed views of the college grounds as the evening light settled over Dublin. As with many historic buildings, there are practical limitations. The restaurant is spread across multiple floors connected by steep staircases, making it inaccessible for wheelchair users. During my visit, the sink in the men's restroom was out of order, making handwashing difficult. It was a noticeable oversight in an otherwise polished dining experience. No restaurant is perfect, and the restroom issue should certainly be addressed. Still, the quality of the cooking, the warm hospitality, the beautiful setting, and the restaurant's heartfelt celebration of Irish culinary tradition far outweighed that minor inconvenience. I would happily return the next time I'm in Dublin--and perhaps tuck a small bottle of hand sanitizer into my pocket, just in case.

If you need a break from pub food and want a real meal in Dublin, I can't recommend The Pig's Ear…read moreenough. Easily the best meal I had in the city. The chicken pie was incredible. It is perfectly cooked with great texture, and the subtle curry spice added something really special without overpowering it. The cheesecake was also a highlight, not just for the flavor but for the presentation. For some reason, it comes in a glass jar tucked inside a paper bag. The wait staff were attentive, friendly, and made excellent recommendations. The whole place has a warm, classy atmosphere. This makes it ideal if you're looking for something more elevated while still feeling comfortable. Highly recommend.

I…read morehave been coming here for years and only the name has changed, the food quality, service and standard has remained the same. It is all excellent. First off the decor is so inviting and cosy and reminiscent of an old gentleman's club or smoking room with large leather seats and dark wood tables. There is an impressive bar and the space is laid out well so that it is ideal for groups and parties as well as intimate dinners for two. But enough about that, lets talk about the food and menu. For me it is one of my favourite menus in Dublin. Good hearty meals and traditional flavours and styles with modern interesting twists like Chicken Lemon and Thyme, Braised Pork Belly and Grilled Goats Cheese, three of my favourites on the menu! As side dished the sweet potato puree and roasted veg are excellent! It is not the cheapest place to eat in the area but it is one of the nicest! Enjoy!

So I finally managed to get here for dinner, and the first time was so good I booked again the…read morefollowing week. Let's start with the staff, I have never met a more lovely bunch of people who absolutely love their job so much. They welcome you from the moment you book. I went for the Supperclub which is 50 euro per couple for two courses and a bottle of wine, what value. I can't comment much on the wine as I don't know anything about it, but I had a lovely bottle of South African Shiraz and we were given a lovely glass of prosecco on arrival. The ingredients are top quality and the dishes are all created with flair to showcase each ingredient and bring out the best in complementary flavours, the chef really knows how to create a well balanced and exciting menu. I tried the caramelised onion and goats cheese tart to start and we also had the most tender buttery brisket to start and both were full of flavour and top quality. We then had the baked cod with beautiful petit pois and baby new potatoes, which was so light and delicate and pleasurable to eat. We also had the pork belly served on creamy dreamy mash potato and turnip and I wanted to lick the plate it was so good, I was gutted when it was all gone. Desserts were equally delicious with lemon almond sponge, molten chocolate bombe, romantica and a gluten free almond and berry cake all being demolished over the course of both dinners. The coffee to finish was, as always, perfect, this is also one of my favourite places in Dublin to get a coffee. So it would seem that there is nothing that these guys can't do, their breakfast, brunch, lunch and dinner are all spot on and one of the best I have ever tried. It is highly unusual for me to ever go back to the same place more than twice but this place I can't get enough of, I just keep returning for more. Furthermore, they are about to open a second premises in Drumcondra along with a food parlour so there will now be more opportunity for everyone to get their chance to try their wonderful food. This really is my favourite restaurant in Dublin. Previous review I love love love this place. The décor and style and service is so Parisian and professional and just pitched perfect and the staff are lovely. I have tried nearly all their muffins and they are the best I have had in Dublin, maybe because they are so big and their carrot cake is also fabulous. My favourite thing to order is the Super-Food Salad with Haloumi Cheese, Roast Butternut Squash, Carrots, Peppers, Stem Broccoli & toasted Seeds, I won't even begin to try and describe how amazing this salad is because I won't do it justice, but it is a taste explosion! When here with my parents my mum had the pulled pork sandwich and loved ever mouthful and my dad had the turkey sandwich, he wasn't so impressed and would have preferred a salad with his food not a handful of crisps, but you can't please everyone! The French toast made with brioche and served with maple syrup, cream and berries is melt in the mouth delicious and I also tried a special of almond and plum tart served with cream and berries and again this just melted in the mouth. For such a nice place, great service and tasty food the prices are really reasonable. The place always seems to be busy, but last time I went in at about 3pm it was nice and chilled out. There are tables outside the front of the place, with bowls of water for dogs, I like little touches like this. There are two indoor seating areas and another few table out the back for when it gets sunny. The staff know a lot of customers by name, so that is always a good sign that people return again and again. One of the best things for me is their coffee and prices. For 2euro you get a huge big coffee to take away and a great loyalty card, buy 5 coffees get your 6th free. It is the best coffee around that area and I have been to everywhere around that area. I go out of my way to stop off and get my coffees here. My dad ordered 3 with his meal they were that nice and 'good and hot' as my dad described it. The next time I go back I will try a different meal, as I am sure that everything on the menu is tasty. I will also try and go in the evening time as well as I am yet to do that and I will let you know how I get on.

Feature 1: you avoid all the tourists while still getting a high-quality dining experience.

These might not be on the menu your visit since things change daily/seasonally, but you'll still have good similar options. Feature 2: The staff are friendly and the environs cozy, especially on a blustery evening. Drink selection is just right, with something for most from cocktails to beer and wine bottle/glass choices. My colleague and I had a lovely time, and I'll return as oft as possible.
