Excellent culinary experience. The menu is creative, brilliantly executed and beautifully presented. I loved the diverse mix of flavors and textures. The courses were uniformly excellent, so it’s hard to single out winners but…I absolutely loved the cabbage tower, Coolatin cheddar custard, haddock tartlet and chocolate cremeux/blackberry sorbet dessert.
I also appreciated a more measured pacing to the courses which affords a bit more breathing and conversation time between plates compared to some restaurants that seem obsessed with delivering the next course seconds after the previous course is complete.
The waitstaff is approachable, personable and always in motion. I can’t recall a time when I’ve seen a higher performing front-of-the-house crew operating at their level of effectivenss or demonstrating such a cooperative, team-oriented attitude. They’re very familiar with the menu and are able to make excellent beverage pairing suggestions.
They contribute to the energy in the dining room, which only has about 10 tables for 2-4pp plus a larger 8-person table for larger groups, along with about 8 seats at a shared high top and counter extension (so definitely make a reservation).
A casual atmosphere and varied background music complement this Modern Michelin experience.
I look forward to returning when I’m next in Dublin. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Wow! All I can say is wow. There is actually nothing I can recommend to Bastible because everything was amazing. The service was spot on. Everyone was so willing to help. Now the food is hands down the best. Each dish was different and had incredible presentation. I savored each course.

Incredible cuisine and quality service, be careful, we warn the customer even if they don't ask when the food and wine pairing is 80€ for 6 half glasses...

Amazing! It’s always great to start off a trip with a wonderful dinner and Bastible was exactly that. The food was beautifully plated and every dish was good, and a few in particular I would say were spectacular (mushroom custard and Halibut come to mind). The staff were super attentive (accommodated no spicy components for our daughter) and friendly and it was such a great experience overall. It’s not a huge space, so seats are limited, but if you see an available reservation do not hesitate. This place is truly wonderful!

Maravillosa experiencia. Comida increíble en restaurante relajado. Gran frente atento del personal de la casa. Fabulosos sabores y combinaciones. Muy recomendable.
La navaja almeja divina, todos los platos tan inusuales, maravillosamente presentados y explicados.

Cordero sin condimentar y sobre salsa salada. Mala respuesta del chef cuando le dimos su opinión... . claramente trabajando en una cocina caliente!
