allta in Dublin

Here's the English translation: "Beautiful place with a great atmosphere and service. The starters are good. I liked the lobster starter, but it was quite small. The T-bone steak was tasty but quite cold. We asked for it to be reheated, and they brought it back with hot gravy on top. That’s not what I expect from a place of this level with high prices."

I rarely post a review, however Alta provides you and experience where you simply need to share it. All vegetables, meat and fish are so fresh and all locally sourced. So if you want to try Irish produce here you go. We went for the menu experience and especially enjoyed the fresh shell fish, lobster with strawberries, and umami experiences from the chefs experience in fermentation. For the main I went for the Irish steak - incredible tender - while my wife asked for an vegetarian option (no problem) which was a plate mixed of homemade ravioli, mushrooms, artichoke and much more - probably one of the best dishes we have ever had. Allta has a great atmosphere, attentive service, and nice cocktails and wine list. Thank you for a wonderful and fun night by the water!!

I came for the two course lunch service and was delighted by the experience. It comes with a flight of snacks, and you can choose your choice of a starter and main. The oyster and beignet snack had a nice punch of flavor, but the salad and laminated brioche, outside of presentation, lacked much taste. The lobster, and rib chop were phenomenal though, each paired with a sauce that playfully brought out the flavors of the protein. The proteins were perfectly cooked, tender and a delight to the taste buds.

Allta is an absolute treat! Having been to their temporary restaurant in Trinity Carpark a few years ago, I was delighted to try their more permanent abode. The food is delicious, every bite is carefully crafted. The staff are attentive and knowledgeable, and the room is lovely. Will definitely be back and would highly recommend!

Had a meal recently , very nice restaurant , would recommend

Fantastic food and great ambience. Great for dinner and drinks.

It is still my favourite restaurant in Dublin. Third location and still top notch service and food. As always pure pleasure to be there and definitely will be back to see what Niall will prepare next.

Everything about the experience is worth a 10-10. The food structure, quality, they’re telling a story to us and is worth every bit. I recommend it to anyone that loved great food and se sensorial experience

So glad this place opened! Wonderful cocktails and small plates - the menu is very well thought out in terms of variety and descriptions are part of the experience! Also the friendliest, most helpful staff around. Music is never too overpowering and always reflective of the crowd no matter the time of day. Great for happy hour with friends, family celebrations, or even just casual lounging.

Exceptional Experience at Alta – A Perfect Corporate Dining Spot I dined at Alta last night and the service was exceptional from start to finish. Having been there socially before, I knew it was a great spot — but this time I brought some of my most important clients for the Chef’s Table tasting menu, and it exceeded every expectation. As a corporate experience, it was seamless. The relaxed atmosphere, chilled vibe, and fantastic cocktails set the perfect tone for the evening. Watching Niall and the chefs work with such focus and precision added a really special touch — it felt like being part of something creative and exacting. The food was nothing short of superb. Each course became a talking point — flavours were discussed, critiqued, and celebrated around the table. One highlight was a savoury doughnut, possibly blackened with squid ink and filled with risotto — absolutely incredible. Every dish was thoughtful and exciting, and the dessert was outstanding. Alta nails the balance of being both refined and relaxed, which made it ideal for entertaining clients. I’ll definitely be back — both for business and pleasure!
