Bastible in Dublin

Amazingly lovely food, very calm and welcoming atmosphere, and super attentive staff. Couldn't recommend more highly! They were really friendly about allergy requirements we had and made it very special for my wife's birthday. We both had a wonderful time and will be back

Really amazing place. It was my first time in a Michelin star restaurant and it didn’t disappoint. Food was amazing and so were the staff!

Un menú degustación increíble con vinos combinados. Algo que no harás muy a menudo, pero cuando lo hagas, te emocionará toda la experiencia. El personal era profesional pero amable. La comida era ejemplar con los sabores simplemente fantásticos. Su conocimiento de los vinos también ejemplar y los vinos aportados complementaban perfectamente la comida, algo que no siempre se consigue, en mi limitada experiencia. Un lugar fantástico para ir si visita Dublín durante unos días.

Summary: great food, bad experience. First of all: the food was absolutely fantastic. The reason why I am giving 3 stars is: we had the first seating and were rushed out of the restaurant. We were debating whether we should get the cheese plate or another drink which we couldn’t even have done. At one point we were told “We need your table back in 10 minutes” which was ca. 5 minutes after we had finished the last course. Then, 10 minutes later, someone came with our jackets, no thanks or anything, just left standing there in the middle of the room. In a restaurant of this price class (if I remember correctly we paid 180€ per person) I would expect them to give you an earlier notice or (preferably) have a longer time for their seating if the whole menu takes up the total time. I have heard from other people that they had the same experience. My visit was in August 2023, so maybe they have changed their seating times by now.

Excellent experience here. The staff were all welcoming, and explained each dish well as it was presented. Warm and modern interior. The food itself was absolutely delicious, in particular the sea food dishes. My only criticism would be the first three "courses" make up the snack element of the meal. And while it is a nine course tasting menu because of this I was still a little hungry at the end. But overall gold value for money in a Michelin dining experience and would recommend visiting.

In December, my husband and I ate our first Michelin star dinner at Bastible. The restaurant operates exclusively on a set system. The winter menu consists of nine elegant servings and costs €105 per person. The portion size is in the best fine dining traditions, but by the end of dinner we left the restaurant very full. It all started with freshly baked sourdough bread with seeds and fermented butter. It sounds simple, but very tasty! The already luxurious tart with oysters, fermented celery and cucumber was supplemented with black caviar. Next was the perfect combination of marinated sea bream with horseradish, grapefruit and carrots. The slight spice, tartness of citrus fruits and the sweetness of carrots surprisingly did not distract from the fish but, on the contrary, complemented it. I'm not a fan of scallops, much less with rutabaga, sake and chard, but in places like this you have complete trust in the chef and, as a rule, you are not disappointed. Wild halibut fillet with shrimp and clam sauce is a delicate dish with a marine character. The next two dishes are difficult to explain, so I had to turn to the Internet: Custard mushroom cream with stewed short rib and soubise sauce based on onions, cream and butter; Japanese sika deer fillet, crapaudine beets and ruby ​​port. I don’t mind rare meat, so I was able to appreciate the dish. Finally there were two desserts: Caramelized apple, vanilla, praline and milk cream and quin amman with chamomile and walnut. Cooking techniques, ingredients, service, presentation, contingent - everything corresponds to the level of the establishment. This pleasure is not cheap, but for a fundamentally new gastronomic experience and a special occasion in life it is definitely worth a visit. For an additional 80€ per person you can order a wine accompaniment, but we don’t drink alcohol, so we didn’t take advantage of it and have nothing to say.

Excellent staff and very friendly. Thanks to Aoife for helping me with a voucher enquiry

Thoroughly enjoyed it both times I've been. Great vegetarian menu for my friend too. Highly recommended.

Definately a great Michelin starred restaurant experience. Staff was fantastic, paying attention to their guests and delivering the amount of attention that was desired. Food was on spot, and portion size was correct to make it through each delicious course. The wine pairings were the best we have experienced (including The Inn at Little Washington).

Maravilloso menú degustación desde el primer sabor hasta los últimos petit fours. Cada plato una delicia para el paladar, especialmente los platos de pescado y ciervos. El personal muy amable y servicial nos mantuvo iluminados y entretenidos. Definitivamente volveré
