Best Dinner Places to Eat in Dún Laoghaire

"Brother Hubbard is a recent addition to trendy Capel Street and they're setting the bar high. Coffee and tea is sourced from two of the best Dublin suppliers, 3FE and Wall and Keogh and their homemade drinks including orange and lemon barley water and rose, raspberry and apple are refreshing and different. In recent months they have really stepped up their sweet treat offerings and there are now a range of baked goods from scones to friandes as well more dessert-style items."

"This Beans and Pulled Pork Special at Brother Hubbard featured cannellini beans in a rich and lightly spiced tomato sauce, overnight roasted pulled pork, a soft fried egg and toast. We loved Brother Hubbard during our first visit to Dublin in 2013. At the time, the new-ish restaurant stood out as a shining light in the Dublin culinary scene by serving modern comfort food and quality coffee in a trendy yet chill setting."

"A delightful slow-food sanctuary within the Dublin dining scene, Brother Hubbard is a cozy, elegantly designed Northside café with a stripped...Read More"

"Justly famed, Chapter One has been serving up contemporary Irish cuisine-with-a-French-twist for over 20 years. The dining room is comfortable and elegant, with all those starched white tablecloths nicely offset by warm lighting and exposed brick walls. Ross Lewis's food is serious and not cheap: the à la carte prices reflect its Michelin-starred rating – but there are excellent set-price lunch and pre-theatre options too."

"Michelin star awarded since 2007, Chapter One is one of the finest restaurants in the city and an ideal place to celebrate a special occasion. The food is insanely good – so much so that Chef Ross Lewis was invited to oversee the banquet held in Queen Elizabeth II’s honour during her 2011 state visit. Housed in the basement of the Dublin Writers Museum, the room is minimal but elegant."

"As far as fine dining establishments go, Chapter One is arguably the best that Dublin has to offer. This place is a Michelin-starred restaurant set in the basement of the Dublin Writers Museum. While it’s housed in an elegant and modern dining room, the atmosphere in Chapter One is surprisingly relaxed."

"For any vegetarian or vegan living in Dublin, Cornucopia doesn’t need an explanation. With Cornucopia having been around for 30 years, they have developed the reputation as the place to go to, when it comes to vegetarian eating. Maybe less known than their heavenly lunches and dinners are their delectable cakes and desserts."

"It’s a pity we couldn’t find a good daytime photo of this area of Fade street social because it does get an awful lot of sun. Cocktails and bar bites out here would be heaven. They do 2 for 1 cocktails on a Tuesday, so maybe that’s the day to go for those on a budget."

"Fade Street Social is a bar of many talents; boasting a spacious restaurant, tapas gastrobar, cocktail bar and a rooftop terrace. With a menu of Irish produce from the award-winning Chef Dylan McGrath, it's a lovely spot for drinks, dinner and relaxing."

"Dubliners around Dawson Street grab one of the best vegan-friendly cuisines around the city in Tang Coffee—another famous restaurant around Dawson St. They offer three, widely-varying menus—breakfast, lunch, and brunch. Their signature dish during breakfast is the Buckwheat Pancakes—for only €8.75 your squishy buckwheat pancakes are served with greek yogurt, fresh berries, pecan nuts, honey, and almond butter."

"Located in the opulent surroundings of Dublin's Mansion House on Dawson Street, Fire has been built in what was originally the Lord Mayor's supper room and is now a magnificent space with stained glass windows and vaulted ceilings. The food is all locally sourced and cooked to a high standard with a good mix of meat, vegetarian options and seafood - the jumbo prawn starter is the house speciality. There is also a special steak menu with a variety of cuts of ages, marinated beef that are sure to make a meat-lover's mouth water."

"Fire steakhouse and bar is right beside the city’s Mansion House and about five minute’s walking from the Fitzwilliam. It’s a really beautiful room – high ceilings, bright with big windows – with good food prepared without fuss. Our guests like it a lot as do those on TripAdvisor and other reviewers."

"Balfes' is the perfect place to go for brunch and a few cocktails with your pals. While the whole menu is fairly tasty, the pancakes are something else altogether. Made with oats and cooked in coconut oil, these are some of the most virtuous pancakes in Dublin, but thankfully they taste absolutely delicious."

"Adding a dash of New York chic to Dublin's city centre, Balfes is a romantic brasserie that's all about great brunch dishes and charming cocktails on their pretty patio space. Expect to find everything from eggs Florentine for brunch to dinnertime seafood and steak skillets."

"Located in the heart of Dublin just a short walk from O’Connell Street, Lao Chinese, and Korean BBQ Restaurant offers both Korean BBQ and authentic Chinese dishes. Try the crispy fried duck or order the tasty chicken curry with egg fried rice. Satay chicken skewers are also a big hit with the customers, as well as the king prawn."

"Located on Parnell Square in Dublin city is Lao Chinese and Korean BBQ Restaurant. This place is known for its epic menu of barbequed dishes, and it’s rarely empty either. Private rooms can be booked for groups, making this a great party setting, and if you’re planning a visit any time soon, make sure to try the hot pot."

"In the centre of Dublin city, you will find Buswells among the magnificent buildings of Dail Eireann, National Museum of Ireland, Trinity College and The National Library of Ireland. Located on a quiet street just a short stroll to all of Dublin Cities best sites. Enjoy a stroll around St. Stephens Green, located just 2 minutes walk from Buswells or venture to Merrion Square, 6 minutes walk, for one of the many outdoor events held throughout the year."

"Dinky and sweet, Dolce Sicily is a lovely café offering what appears at first sight to be standard fare – soup and panini – but the ingredients are first class and authentically Italian; try the mild and fragrant fennel salami. The main event, however, are the desserts and cakes: try the crisp cannoli filled with vanilla or chocolate cream, the strawberry cake, the pineapple upside-down cake or the moist and rich Nutella tart. Bear in mind, Dolce Sicily fills up fast at lunchtime."

"Dolce Sicily offers a range of high quality Italian food and drinks specialising in original Sicilian delicacies which range from a variety of sweet pastries all the way up to filling Italian dishes such as melanzane parmigiana. The location is unique in that customers can visit for any breakfast, lunch or dinner need and is also suitable for anyone looking to drink a few glasses of Italian wine or a cocktail or two."

"Their thick hot chocolate is probably the richest in Dublin and their delicate pastries and Canoli always leave me wanting more."

"Those who are fans of fine dining will delight at the mouthwatering French cuisine on offer in this Monkstown restaurant. Sip on a glass of wine while enjoying food prepared by their executive chef. They offer a three-course set menu, which can be paired perfectly with some cocktails or a bottle of wine."

"Monkstown is a real treasure trove of restaurants, while Seapoint is a great little spot with a delicious kids' menu. There's a great booth for larger groups that allows you to trap the kids away from harm or mischief."

"The Greenhouse restaurant pairs an opulent interior with Michelin-starred food and an excellent wine list – it was recently named one of the top 10 Irish restaurants for wine in The Sunday Business Post‘s 101 Great Irish Restaurants round-up. Having received rave reviews far and wide for their cuisine, this chic Dawson Street establishment prepares meals that you won’t soon forget. The €75 set dinner menu features such accomplished creations as scallop ceviche and seabass with Luberon asparagus."

The goal of this place is to offer you a 'memorable dining experience' and the lavish menus and settings help to create a lasting impression."
