We came here for brunch after our stroll on the east pier. We didn't have a reservation, and I'm…read morenot sure if they take weekend brunch reservations, as everyone appeared to be waiting for a table. They seemed understaffed, and as a result, a little disorganized. We we standing right in front of the host stand, but it took 10 mins for them to take down our information. When they did, we watched them write down "blue coat" as their method for notifying us that our table was ready lol. Fortunately, no one else was wearing a blue coat, and we were seated after about 30 minutes. The restaurant is bright and spacious. It's a very pleasant place. The brunch menu is very reasonably priced. I split the kickstart and burger bowl with my husband. The kickstart was very basic, which was what we wanted. It had toast, bacon, poached eggs, tomatos and avocado puree. My only only qualm was that the avocado puree tasted a little stale - like it maybe wasn't made that day. I have a lot to say about the burger bowl, which was having a major identify crisis. I think it was trying to be a salad. There was a large slab of goat cheese on top of the burger, but the salad underneath it had large chunks of feta. Feta and goat don't go together. Pick one. The burger was thick and had potential. It would have been better if it wasn't well done, but we weren't asked how we wanted it cooked. I know a lot of places won't cook anything rarer than medium, but a well done burger is a travesty. The burger was served on a bed of mostly inedible greens - you know, the kind that look like artificial plants that your body would have some difficulty digesting. It was a greek salad with olives, feta, tomatoes, and onions, so you'd expect greek dressing to be an option, but it wasn't. You get either balsamic, tomato relish, or pesto. It was a strange meal, but not a bad one. When we were finished and ready to leave, it took us a while to chase down our server. They were very busy, so we understood. I'd come back for brunch, but I'm much more interested in trying their dinner tapas.

We were fortunate to experience Le Basement during our time in Dublin…read more It's located on the second floor of a restaurant in a small office sized room with a bar, sofa seats, and a few dining tables. When we came they had a band already playing. It was honestly like an American jam sess where people can come up and sing and perhaps play if the request is honored. My husband asked the guitarist if he could join and the guitarist was gracious enough to loan him his guitar and pick as we are foreigners and didn't pack his guitar for our trip. He was able to play for about three songs and it was amazing to see the two cultures mix and mingle on stage. You could tell that the vibe changed throwing him in the mix. I would imagine this magical mix occurs each time they invite any unique talent that visits Le Basement. The drinks were inexpensive, the environment was welcoming, and the music was soulful.

A hidden gem in the heart of Dublin's nightlife, and what a great discovery! Located on Dame Lane…read morejust across from the popular 4 Dame Lane, Le Basement offers a unique evening experience for Dublin. Presented in a similar style to the famous Parisian Jazz clubs, you descend the stairs to a small and atmospheric room with soft lighting and comfortable leather seating. There is decent quality beer on tap and array of the usual alcohol options available with a decent looking menu if you fancy a bite to eat (although I did not). Most evenings around the weekend there is a live Jazz act and, on the night I was there, we had a delightful lady singer with a fantastic voice and a great support band. Table service is available and the staff are friendly and prompt. There is a cover charge ranging from €5 to €8 depending on who is playing. Le Basement is part of Le Cirk - a hotel/bar on Dame Street. If you are looking for a romantic spot to take your partner or just a place to appreciate some quality jazz tunes, then look no further. I highly recommend Le Basement.

The service isn't brilliant but the whole staff is really nice you forgive them their forgetfulness (one order of gambas and the bill). And, because of its location, it feels kind of exclusive and intimate.

Absolutely incredible meal here last night. We had the tasting menu with paired wines and…read moreeverything was so delicious and exciting. Loved the pacing of the meal, we had it over the course of three hours and didn't feel in any way rushed which was so lovely. My favourite thing was getting to eat delicious very high end food in a more casual and relaxed environment, there was nothing stuffy or pretentious about the place, which can be the case in a lot of fine dining restaurants. We sat by the window and was lovely to see out on to all the fabulous colourful barges on the canal. Will 100% be back and telling everyone about here! A+
