Daniel's in Dublin

We had the pleasure of ending our Dublin stay at this exceptional restaurant and highly recommend it to everyone. It's somewhat hidden, but anyone who finds it will be rewarded with truly excellent food.

An absolute treasure. Wonderful food, and the best hospitality I've ever seen. Daniel is extremely passionate about his craft, with a story for every item on the menu, as well as for each of the seventy-or-so wines he's sourced from around the world. Lovely man to chat with!

What an incredible place! Small, intimate and warm! Daniel himself welcome us, talked us through the menu and gave his recommendations. The wine list is carefully curated by him and even has his own comments printed on it! The food was the star of the show! We got Lobster Bisque, Whitetail, mushrooms with crab and Lobster Thermidor - all caught fresh and cooked to order! His recommendations and pairing were exceptional. The deserts are all homemade, down to the ice cream itself! I recommend the fried ice cream! It’s perfect! Thank you so much Daniel! We look forward to coming back!

Every single dish I have tried here has been incredible - favourite is the lobster bisque. One of the best restaurants in Dublin, great wine menu and Daniel is a fantastic host. Looking forward to many more visits

Dining at Daniel’s was a truly wonderful and unique experience. Daniel himself came out to explain every dish and his passion and knowledge is beyond measure- it added to every bite. Myself and my partner had never experienced anything like it. If you’re looking for an intimate restaurant with real heart to it, Daniel’s is the place!

Daniel was lovely. Very welcoming and chatty. He will advise you what is the best pairing for your mains and sides! I learned so much about potatoes 🤣 For starters, get the mushroom and crab cake. Very generous portion of crab.Lobster Thermidor tastes so wonderful! I was considering ordering another one but I need to make room for dessert. Definitely a must try. For the dessert, go for the deep fried ice cream. Will definitely come back again.

Had our galentine’s dinner at Daniel’s Restaurant. I had the mushroom soup (very good), ribeye steak (phenomenal, HIGHLY RECOMMEND THE CAFE DE PARIS SAUCE, you can only get that here) and fried ice cream (heaven on earth!). On top of this, Daniel is very accommodating/friendly to all customers, explains the food in detail and cooks soooooooo deliciously 🤤🤤🤤 Will definitely come back, good date spot as well 😍

IN my experience, the best cooking in Dublin. Every meal represents a sublime culinary experience. Thank you for making last night such a special evening with out 90 year old friend. The best Caesar salad I have ever tasted. Everything we ordered was outstanding. Thank you Daniel for taking such care and making it so special.

What a really great spot. I have been meaning to try this gem of a dining experience for some time and finally got around to it. I regret not going sooner. Sumptuous well cooked and presented dishes of ample portions. The side dishes were certainly not outshone by the superb mains. We had the duck and lamb shank which were both tender and delicious. Special mention for twice cooked potatoes as a side which are a standout. The really relaxed atmosphere was complemented by the extremely attentive and personable host the eponymous Daniel whose personal touch and friendly informality makes you feel as if you have known him for years. He is always on hand to explain each dish and what complements it best and to guide diners towards the most suitable wines pairings. In the desserts the unique deep fried ice cream is a must and the bread and butter pudding also has an interesting backstory. This restaurant is old style in all the best ways, good hearty quality food, classic setting and the personal touch that is rarely found these days.

I don't want to give too much away, just go and have fabulous food and an excellent evening. Me and my two friends had one of the most enjoyable dining experiences ever there last night. Would not change a single thing!
