Daniel's in Dublin

Having dinner at Daniel's was a very pleasant and tastefull experience. From the starters till the dessert with fried ice cream. Daniel's is a very passionated chef and he made us discover his long hours cooked receipes with love ! The Lobster is rich and excellent. We will come back ! Thanks

Those comments are real. After reading the comments, we booked immediately and Daniel delivered it successfully. we tried many highly rated restaurants in Dublin and so far we found majority of them overrated or we werent fully satisfied by the value. But Daniel is definitely undervalued. it is a gem. we are so glad we live nearby. if i talk about the food, we were craving seafood, mostly shellfish. we tried crab salad, crayfish cocktail, scallops and prawns. all of them tasted so nice. so fresh. so flavourful. That deep and rich marine smell and taste. And all of them crowned with an amazing French wine that Daniel recommended. The atmosphere at first looks very modest. But as Daniel talks to you, you understand how much effort he puts it into every detail. I truly appreciate the food and service we received on a very regular Sunday evening, that made it a special.

Daniel provides an experience. In a cozy, intimate setting, delicious meals are provided with exceptional customer service and attention to every detail. The lobster entree and scallops starter were divine and the steak was so perfect, my daughter didn’t need the accompanying sauce. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and will be returning for the next birthday in our family. Thank you, Daniel.

That was a meal to remember! What a wonderful experience and the hosting was second to none. The sauces tasted incredible and our group of 4 had such a laugh with Daniel. Not a scrap of food left on the plate! Can't wait to go back.

Fantastic experience all around! Daniel takes time to explain the menu, pairings, and makes dining a very personal experience. Food was delicious and reasonably priced for the quality!

A hidden gem in Sandycove/Dun Laoghaire! Warm and welcoming atmosphere and excellent service from Daniel. The Chicken Romano, Prawn Pernod, and homemade desserts were all delicious. Highly recommend, we'll definitely be back!

very good atmosphere and the food was perfect!!!

Daniel is an absolute gem of a human being. He let me take a peek into the kitchen and I can say with certainty that he & his cook are doing it right- food made from scratch with love & heart. Will be back next time I’m in Dublin!

We arrived at Daniels at about 18.05 on Tuesday. Daniels opens at 6 so naturally it was quiet. When we arrived, Daniel was attentive, friendly and the right kind of eccentric for a chef that has worked for over 30 years. Food was good, classic French cuisine. The fish cakes were good. Im no chef or food critic but I would say the starters and mains were 7/10 and fairly priced for the quality. We didnt get dessert. Daniel is a lovely person, but he was a bit too much. I'll try keep this brief but he was sat beside us chatting while we were still eating our mains. He seemed more focused on showing us his holiday photos on his phone. It was quiet and it was a one man band with just Daniel there but there is a line in my opinion. After we had paid our bill (while he was there sitting with us the whole time) he asked us to leave a positive review on google. He expressed his aggravation with the negative reviews that had been left previously (you can see his replies for yourself). This may go some way in explaining why the reviews here are so high. All in all, this was good food at a fair price somewhat spoiled by the host in my opinion. Again, Daniel is a lovely person but he did ask for a review so here it is.

Couldn’t recommend this restaurant highly enough! Easily the most memorable meal of my last few years. Stunning food, excellent ambience and Daniel is a true gentleman who provided some top recommendations and great chat! As a first time visitor I’m already looking forward to returning.
