18/01/2026: Liath Restaurant has quietly become my family’s go-to spot in Dublin. Not because it’s flashy, but because it’s consistent, thoughtful, and genuinely comfortable to be in.
They remember you. Not in a performative way, but in a calm, reassuring one, they remember what you like, what you don’t, and they don’t make a big deal out of it. The service is solid and confident without hovering, and the space itself feels calm and unforced, which is rare in fine dining.
The food is where the care really shows. Almost everything is made from scratch, yes, even the salt, and you can taste the difference. Nothing feels rushed or lazy. Every dish feels considered, not precious, just done properly. You’re aware that someone paid attention here.
It’s fine dining without the stiffness. No theatrics, no ego, just a place that takes its work seriously and lets the food do the talking.
17/01/2026: Fantastic dining experience. We had the lunch menu and non alcoholic drinks pairing. It was two vegetarian, two fish, one meat, dessert and petit fours. Everything was presented beautiful and tasted delicious. It's our first time going for a non alcoholic drink pairing and it did not disappoint, so much effort was put into each drink, they were complex and they all paired well with the food.The dining room is very small, there is only 5 tables and the kitchen is open and at the end of the room, you wouldn't even know the chefs were there, they worked quietly and meticulously. Damien Grey was friendly and interacted with all diners, bringing food to the tables as did the other chefs for the last course. With regards atmosphere,there is no music playing but its not needed and while the space is small there is enough room between the tables. The whole experience from start to finish was wholesome and relaxed. The lunch was great value for money.
