Daniel's in Dublin

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!

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.

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).

My group and I had a fantastic experience here recently and Daniel took care of our large (15 person) party brilliantly. The service felt personal and efficient, and the food was delicious. And that Cafe de Paris sauce… what a highlight!

Went for a large works dinner last week, was an absolute delight. Food was absolutely excellent, didn't need the menu as everything on the specials board sounded so good off the bat - very very highly recommend visiting for a meal, whatever you have will be of the upmost quality. Daniel himself is a gracious host, a wonderful character and is more than happy to walk you through every dish in great detail if needed. His specific knowledge and use of as many seasonal varieties of potatoes was particularly impressive. Can't wait to visit again!

Great experience, great food. Carl is a legend

Visited with family recently for a celebration. Hadn't been to this restaurant for many years and its just as good as I remember. Everyone was blown away by the food. The atmosphere is so unique and warm, and Daniel is just the perfect host. We didn't want to leave and can't wait to visit again.

Classic well presented food, generous portions and a chef that shares his passion for quality ingredients with his customers.
