Bastible in Dublin

Fantastic spot. The menu is perfectly crafted from beginning to end. Highly recommend especially if you’re looking for an intimate low volume restaurant with high quality cuisine. Great service with about 10 tables and a high top. Loved every minute here.

I had an incredible anniversary dinner here. The food was extremely good and the staff was so lovely and generous. Aoife, the manager, was very charming. Highly recommended. We'll be back for sure.

I went there for a special occasion. Food ad service are amazing. Highly recommended!

Tasting menu: The razor clam was nicely presented and good but was very disappointing in terms of texture. The seeded bread was still warm and the cultured butter was yum! The rest of the courses were much much better and were really good and special mention to the execution when it comes to cooking fish and seafood related dishes. The sauces you have with the scallops and the cod were unreal. Just a small note on the cod, I didn’t really see/taste the liquorice so that was a bit confusing. Perhaps this is because I’m French but some bread would have been to avoid wasting those delicious sauces/jus. The meat dish was very well cooked and so tender! I wish the waitress had left the jus/sauce and had given some bread to soak up the sauce. The dessert was nice and surprising. Loved the yuzu sorbet it was very refreshing and I love how bold it was by integrating ginger and artichoke however I was really disappointed as a ginger lover I didn’t have the kick from the ginger at all. The petit four (hazelnut financier) was nice as well. The service a bit rushed at the beginning we had the bread and butter served without even knowing whether we were going to get the wine pairing or not. It was a bit too quick for us, this is maybe due to restaurant having 2 services on Saturday night. Overall the service was still good and we got very clear explanations on the dish/wine. This was for a birthday celebration and although this was mentioned in the reservation this was almost missed, thankfully my partner reminded them when I went to the bathroom.

We had a great time at Bastible tonight The pros first: - nice work around the wine pairings, really nice and well explained. - Fish dishes were amazingly executed with some really beautiful sauces. - dessert were really well designed with some original pairings, loved it however for 5 stars it was coming a little bit short for the price and Michelin star in our opinion for a few little details: - the tempo of the menu, especially at the start felt a bit rushed, we like to take the time to settle in and in between dishes to really enjoy. - the sizes of the dish overall, we felt didn't fill the stomach as much compared to other Michelin star restaurant. Overall we still had a great evening with nice food and lovely service which is the main part! Thanks 🙏

Extraordinary food and 7 stars customer service.

I brought my brother for his birthday here and it did not disappoint. The food was excellent and every dish was unique, tasted complex and smelled fantastic when it hit the table. The service/staff were knowledgable on the food, friendly and had great attention to detail. I would recommend going for the set menu as you get to experience all the restaurant has to offer. We sat at the high top table which I enjoyed as you got to see more of what was going on in the restaurant as you waited for dishes. The staff provided excellent care and attention to my brother who has a serious nut allergy. They prepared alternative dishes or elements of dishes to accommodate him which was great to see. I also think for the experience, level of food and service that was provided the price point is excellent. I can’t wait to come back during another period and try a different seasonal menu offering. Thanks again 🙏

Honestly can’t even remember the food because we had to sit on a backless STOOL for the hours-long meal. What kind of nice restaurant doesn’t provide their patrons with some back support or relaxing seating. Our backs hurt us so much that we asked to leave before the courses were done. It’s such a shame, so if you make a reservation INSIST on a backed-chair, or perhaps the restaurant can read this and be kind to their customers and have all chairs to have backs. Otherwise was nice so I’m sad that that’s my main memory of the experience.

The food was outstanding, from start to finish - every dish its own highlight. The desserts were off the charts. The wine pairing perfect. The service is impeccable too - all perfectly timed, the staff warm and friendly, and the ambience convivial and relaxed. 10/10 experience

Everything was smooth - well oiled machinery at work. The service was timely and not pretentious. The food was good and not overly complicated - allowing for longer memory of the taste. The whole group was happy with the selection and they catered for our dietary requirements. While the price was high, one cannot complain about it - it is the experience, quality and service which were worth it
