Best Fine Dining in Enniskerry

"If you want a Michelin-starred experience with less of an impact on your wallet then don't shy away from Dublin's other, much-coveted, fine dining experience. Situated just over the Liffey on Parnell Square, Chapter One features wide ranging menus from the Kitchen Table Tasting menu with matching wines to the decidedly more cost effective Pre-Theatre menu which offers 3 courses for �36.50. The restaurant itself offers some private dining rooms as well as the experience of dining at the 'Chef's table' – a volcanic rock table that allows the diners to look into the kitchen and speak with the chefs as they enjoy their meal; a unique dining experience with the credentials to match."

"We sat in the bar before beginning the tasting menu and I loved seasonal approach to cocktails. While there is a list of popular cocktails, I chose the Can’t Beat a Bramble with lillet, chambord, St.Germain, Blackberry Syrup and beetroot. It was created to reflect the first dish on the menu of Irish beetroot, charred baby cucumber, watermelon and goat’s cheese."

"Ross Lewis’ basement restaurant has retained a Michelin star since 2007 with its elegant, modern European dishes that celebrate the terroir of Ireland paired with impeccable service."

"It offers a grown-up dining experience, traditional in the best sense of the word, with white tablecloths, low lighting and endless bottles of (mostly Italian) wine lining the walls. Fresh fish is delivered daily, displayed to patrons at a wet counter by the restaurant entrance and transformed by the chef into a selection of authentic Italian dishes. These include capesante gratinate (oven-baked scallops covered in breadcrumbs and parmesan) and the house speciality: fresh calamari and gamberi with spicy spinach."

"Rosa Madre is located in Temple Bar and specialize in fresh fish which is delivered by local suppliers where they guarantee to have the finest quality available. Rosa Madre focus on the quality of their ingredients with their specialities including fresh Calamari and Gamberi served with spicy spinach, Lobster tonnarelli or Ravioli al Tartufo made by their Chef from Pesaro, Francesco Mambelli."

"In an era when casual dining is more popular than ever, a hit of buttoned-up elegance can go a long way. At Restaurant Patrick Guilbaud, the waitstaff dons three-piece suits and plates hide under shiny silver cloches. Yes, it’s formal and yes, it’s fancy, but the Irish have a way of doing luxury well—and without pretension."

"On the Michelin guide for 2020, Pearl Brasserie is an award-winning find dining restaurant that specialises in French food (naturally). The basement setting is surprisingly light, while the interiors are dressed in a modern yet formal style.

"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."

"FIRE is located in the heart of Dublin in the popular Dawson St. area. Offering exclusive dining options in a historical dining room including the best private dining in Dublin. A mix of styles the current structure was built in 1891 as the Lord Mayor’s Supper Room."

"This 12 room 16th century castle sits on nearly 600 acres and has its own 18 hole golf course. Visit the place where soccer super star David Beckham and Posh Spice tied the knot."

"Liath, the Irish word for grey, is a fine dining restaurant created by chef Damien Grey. Grey was the co-owner of the one-star Michelin Star Restaurant, 'Heron And Grey' which closed at the start of the year. Right now, getting a booking here is like gold dust."

"BANG Restaurant, recommended by the Michelin Guide, offers discerning diners exquisite culinary experiences. From the unique experience of 'The Gathering' Tasting Menu, a seven course meal proudly showcasing the very best of Ireland, to the long-established pre-theatre menu, these dishes are synonymous with local culture and high quality. Passionate about food, menus are seasonal, fresh and locally sourced."

"One of the top hotels in Dublin, the five-star Fitzwilliam, can also boast about having one of the top restaurants in the city, Glovers Alley. Dublin-born Andrew McFadden first went to London to show off his culinary talents and, at age 28, became the youngest chef ever to earn a Michelin star in the UK. McFadden decided to return to his roots and opened Glovers Alley in tandem with the hotel."

"Glovers Alley is a swanky Millennial pink fine-dining restaurant on the first floor of the Fitzwilliam hotel. Dubliner Andy McFadden is the executive chef, having moved from London where he lived for 12 years, working in the prestigious Pied à Terre restaurant. Fun fact: At age 25, Andy was the youngest chef in London to hold a Michelin star, so you know he means business."

"Here's a spot in Sandycove that will absolutely blow you away. This hidden gem has just about every type of fish you could ask for, with chips that make for a perfect combo, regardless of what you order. Do not pay this place a visit without ordering fish and chips – fried or grilled, hake or monkfish – whatever suits you, do it."

"Located just outside the main Temple Bar area, Fish Shack Café offers fresh seafood cooked the way it should be!. Don’t be fooled by its small size; the place has a cosy atmosphere and is perfect for a sit down lunch. Amongst others, we recommend their fried calamari, grilled scallop and fish and chips."

"The Cake Lab Bakery is a family-owned business, spearheaded by mother-and-daughter team, Yasemin and Susan. Yasemin has a BSc in Baking and Pastry Arts Management, so she takes care of the flavour and concept of the cakes. Meanwhile, Susan is in charge of the structural aspect of their creations."

"Established by two Irish culinary arts graduates who spent time in San Franciso perfecting their craft, Scéal Bakery specialises in sourdough bread and handcrafted croissants. Their baked goods are painstakingly made over the course of multiple days to ensure each loaf and pastry has their signature aroma, flavour, and texture. Scéal Bakery source local Irish ingredients where possible, and adapt their menu to take advantage of seasonal produce."

"Price: €3.50Look: 5/5Texture: 4/5Taste: 4.5/5Value: 2.5/5Total: 16/20. Verdict: The lack of a decent bakery on this side of Dublin 8 explains the ridiculous queue to get to the Scéal counter inside the Fumbally market on a Saturday morning. But is it really worth the hype and the painful wait to get this croissant?"

"Closing our list of the best museums in Dublin is the Zoological Museum. It is housed on the grounds of Trinity College and is home to over 25,000 specimens from around the globe."

"The exhibitions here are constantly changing, and an interesting combination of science and art. Past exhibits have included insights into the secret service and spies, illusions and risks – there’s usually something that kids will be into, as well. The fact that exhibitions change so frequently mean that it’s worth checking opening hours before visiting, as it may be closed between exhibits."

Scientific debates usually take place between the pages of academic journals, but the Science Gallery at Trinity College helps bring the issues to life for visitors of all ages. The cutting-edge exhibits touch on human perception, biomimicry, and the future of technology in the workplace."

"Hands-on, interactive and compellingly relevant, the Science Gallery is devoted to explaining the intricacies of science and how it applies to everyday life. Exhibitions explore big ideas, so bring your curiosity with you. The striking Poolberg Lighthouse is the perfect conclusion to a stroll along the Great South Wall © Cezzar 1981 / Getty Images"

"The home of the national collection of Irish and European art, the National Gallery of Ireland has been sharing inspiring artworks with the public since 1864. Itquickly developed an impressive collection that required the addition of an extra wing, when the Dowager Countess of Milltown left the contents of Russborough House to the gallery in 1897. Two years later, wealthy art collector Henry Vaughan also bequeathed a group of Turner watercolours to the collection, with the stipulation that they only be exhibited in January – a tradition that still continues today."

"It is a museum of the mid-19th century full of fantastic pieces. An enjoyable way to spend the afternoon in Dublin, especially if it’s raining. Take time to explore all galleries full of art and sculpture."
