The two owners were so wonderful, and both came to speak with us by the end of the dining experience. The food was unreal. Such good options with so many different styles of cuisine. Everything we ate was so impressive and tasty. I would recommend specifics, but I'd be listing out the 20 menu items we ordered. Their drinks were just as fabulous as the food. Great vibe in the place as well. Good lighting and fun environment right in the heart of Dublin. You seriously can not go wrong. DO YOURSELF A HUGE FAVOR AND MAKE A RESERVATION!

I know what you're thinking: tapas in Dublin?? Believe me, you need these in your life!…read more Bringing Spanish culture to the heart of Dublin and doing a great job in the process. Vanessa (one of the owners) is there helping you out and welcoming you as if you're family. Lovely atmosphere, honestly. We ordered these tapas for a party of two: chicharrones, chorizo frito y morcilla, carrillada de cerdo (pork cheeks), bomba de la Barcelona, and patatas bravas. I can't pick a favorite (but the pork cheeks, and the chorizo are up there!), but every tapa was incredible and well executed. Take your time, be adventurous, and explore the menu. Portions are small enough that you can order many things to share. Paired the tapas with a wonderful Tempranillo, and a Cava Sangria. They did start us with a free sample of their tinto de verano as well, in true Spanish fashion. Definitely worth visiting while in Dublin!

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+

If you need a place to go in Blackrock, definitely give this place a shot. I visited recently with…read morefive friends where we sampled a good few things on the menu - the gambas (lovely and in a great sauce), pa amb tomáquet (an odd but good serving a bread smeared with tomatoes and garlic), escalivada (delicious aubergine and tomato presented beautifully), pimientos de piquillo (a table favourite), albóndigas (my favourite), tabla de queso (everyone's favourite) and some churro (which I did not share). 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.

This was a quaint little Pub in the town of Killnney. It was close to the hotel we were staying at,…read morethe Fitzpatrick Castle. The teeny tiny town was about a mile away and had a couple pubs which was surprising considering most towns in Ireland have the streets dotted with pubs. The hotel and locals said go to The Magpie and we did and had a great meal. The portions were humongous and we ordered way too much food. Of course we had to try the local version of the seafood chowder which did not disappoint as it was loaded with tons of seafood. We also got a seafood linguine. When you're surrounded by the ocean you always go for seafood! At least we do.

Excited to try the Parmesan and truffle oil chips but the chips arrived hot but soggy/soft. Oh…read morewell. Likely it was since the kitchen just opened that the oil wasn't hot enough or the chips were put into the oil still frozen/cool. So while the chips flavor was spot on this is more of a glitch than consistent problem. The the crab and crawfish cakes came out and they were cooked perfectly and very tasty. It was a light lunch as my friend and I shared the chips as a starter and then ordered starters for our meals. It was more than enough . The restaurant has a great view of the intersection and the shops looking towards Dalkey Castle. Inside it was clean and spacious as the tables were spaced apart to feel not close.

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.
