Daniel's in Dublin

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!

Top quality ingredients cooked to perfection. Lobster Bisque is fabulous also Prawns with Pernod and rice.

Daniel’s where to begin, one of the best culinary experiences to be had in Dublin and probably on the island of Ireland. Myself a food lover and regular restaurant dweller. I would call this place rare, As, in no matter what you order off the menu here, it will be excellent. Plenty on the menu to pick from far from bare bones here. The place itself very understated but has a cool old school vibe clean and well kept but is very quirky under closer examination. Wine lovers this is the place for you his pairing of wine to foods is nothing short of exceptional. You won’t find a better wine menu in Dublin. Overall Danial is a master craftsman in both food and wine and no mystery here it immediately becomes apparent from the get go, simple starters like the broth hits the tongue and it’s complex and superior. Nothing is an after thought here every ingredient and element have been very well thought out here years in the making. If I could give 100 stars I would. We ll be back and on a regular basis.

This was a very unique dining experience that I will absolutely be repeating and would recommend to all

Unique and special dining experience in the heart of south Dublin. We got a warm welcome from Daniel who talked us through every item on the menu with passion and enthusiasm. Lovely atmosphere in the restaurant itself. Food was beautiful and Daniel himself went to great trouble to detail exact wine pairings with each dish - everything in this restaurant is carefully thought out with the best of ingredients. The menu is extensive with something for everyone on it. Highly recommend a visit and look forward to returning!

We’re still wondering what we loved most: the food or the chef’s incredible sense of hospitality… From starter to dessert, every dish is an absolute delight : generous portions, full of flavour, and beautifully executed. The wine list is exceptionally well curated and offers something for every taste. As for the welcome, it is without a doubt the chef’s greatest strength and the reason we will definitely return: warm, passionate, attentive without ever being intrusive ; a true pleasure. You feel right at home here (except the food is far better).

I found this restaurant by chance on the map, with no advertising at all. It’s a long-running family restaurant in a quiet location, and that alone made me curious. The experience did not disappoint. The place has a lovely old-fashioned atmosphere, and the chef personally served and looked after every table. The other guests seemed to be regulars, while it was our first visit, but we felt very welcome. The ingredients were clearly fresh, the food was well prepared, and the prices were very reasonable. You can really feel the passion Daniel puts into his food and his restaurant. I’ve been to many Michelin restaurants in Dublin, but this place still feels more worth visiting. It gives you the comforting feeling of being invited into someone’s home for a proper meal.
