Loved the food here. I had a chowder and chicken supreme. The chowder was not the best I ever had, but still very nice. The chicken supreme was a pleasant surprise, it tasted amazing. Service was meh, the waitress was a bit rude. The interior is a bit dated, nothing special. The garden outside is nice when there's a lot of sun.
Overall, if you're in Monkstown and you're hungry, you won't make a mistake by eating here, but it won't blow your mind. I wouldn't go out of my way to eat here. I'd say the prices are high for what it is.

We have been to 8a Brasserie on several occasions, latest being a week ago for my daughter’s 2nd birthday. There were 10 of us in total and we asked for a table in a private section upstairs which we got. My toddler and her 2 cousins were running around playing with balloons and we just got friendly smiles from the staff. Our waiter, Michael, was very attentive and made sure we have everything we need. I think we spent there good 3 hours and nobody was rushing us to wrap it up. Great experience overall, especially for celebrating a special occasion.
Highly recommended.
Excellent food, staff and service. not forgetting the fantastic outdoor area for when the sun is shining 😎

Went in on a warm sunny day. Was promptly sat down. Ordered the seafood chowder and pork belly. Chowder was hot but very good. Pork belly was small but ok. Did not like the mashed potatoes. Not sure why so many more upscale restaurants feel the need to put shallots/green onions in their mashed potatoes, but I wish they'd stop. Other than that, was a nice place to eat that provided a nice respite from the heat and sun outside.

8a is a great restaurant. Consistently great. Today I turned up with 7 people for a Mothers Day lunch and I had made booking for the wrong day. They found us a table in what is probably one of the busiest days of the year for restaurants. We had super food and brilliant service. It's my favourite restaurant ❤️

Delicious and thoughtful brunches, rich homemade lemonade with bright sourness, the most delicate creme brulee and pleasant, sensitive, prompt service. I really enjoyed it and now I want to go back for other dishes.
