We know the Corner Note as breakfast Cafe but were in for our first dinner for two because we were drawn to the cosy candle light atmosphere and the small but tasty sounding menu. Spent a wet and windy date night there and loved it! Romantic atmo, food (fish tacos, schnitzel and fish stew, chocolate mousse) were all so tasty and the service really attentive and lovely. Great addition to Dalkeys dinner scene on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays.

Would recommend for a lunch or dinner in Dalkey. Great place with great food and service and decently priced.
Ignore the bad reviews as they come from old ownership. 10/10!

Went here for valentine's and the food was divine, the featherblade beef ragu and the vegan lentils dish were both amazing. As we were leaving they said they'd put more vegan options on the menu so we're definitely coming back!

We had a great dinner at The Cornernote. We popped in on a whim after noticing the cosy, candle-lit room and were really well looked after from the moment we sat down.
The staff were genuinely attentive and happy to talk us through a really well thought-out menu. The food was excellent — the beef ragù and roast chicken with ratatouille were standouts, full of flavour and perfectly cooked. Desserts were just as good, especially the bread and butter pudding with a citrus twist.
It has that relaxed, modern neighbourhood feel — easygoing but done properly. Dalkey has plenty of great spots, but this is one you’ll definitely come back to.
