I have had amazing experiences in this restaurant. The chief is master of his job. We had fantastic chicken with the cream broccoli sauce and after polish it with the homemade dessert. Danielās has more than 5 stars!

A very basic restaurant that could do with a little paint to freshen it up, however the food is absolutely excellent, I could not fault any of it, & at a respectable price, everything was fresh from the fish to the veg, Daniel does a special lobster bisque which is to die for, we had a 3 course for both of us including a glass of wine each total bill ā¬130 which was very fair, totally recommend this place, if you can overlook the place needing a good upgrade. Well worth a visit

If youāre looking for a home cooked meal (from
Scratch) then this is the place for you. Food was absolutely amazing and Danielās passion and knowledge for food and wine is evident in the quality of his food and wine list. The menu changes every 2 weeks and I could have eaten everything off the menu! Daniel is a great chef and host and took the time to talk the menu through with us and made suggestions as to what wine would pair with our chosen meal. So good we went twice.
The deep fried ice cream needs to be tried to be believed! It was the star of the showā¦. (Iāve attached a photo)
Presentation was on point as well, the restaurant is located a few mins from the seafront, perfect for a stroll along the seafront after eating the delicious food!
Highly recommend

Superb service. Amazing food. Daniel told us in detail every item he had on his menu and suggested the wines to go with the meal. We had 2 fantastic meals there. One of his guest was so friendly we had a great laugh on the Thursday with him and Daniel. Itās a must visit to his restaurant if in Dun Laoghaire. Thank you Daniel you deserve the praiseš

We popped into Danielās after reading some great reviews and were glad we did. The space is cozy and welcoming, with a design that feels more like someoneās home than a restaurant. While the dĆ©cor is a little dated, it adds to the charm and relaxed feel of the place.
What really stands out is Daniel himself. He takes the time to sit with you, walk through the wine pairings, and explain each dish in detail. That level of personal attention is rare and really makes the meal feel special.
The food is rich and full of flavor. I did find most of the dishes quite heavy, with a lot of cheese or cream, so something to keep in mind depending on your preferences. That said, the ingredients were high quality and clearly prepared with care.
This is the kind of place where hospitality is just as important as the food, and it shows in every part of the experience.
