Host in Dublin

What a great place, ambience, service and outstanding innovative foods and wine.

The best food I've had in Dublin. We went for the Chef's menu. Each dish was amazing, it's hard to pick the favourite. Staff was brilliant. The only downside is crowded tables, but it's a minor issue considering everything else.

We ordered the Piri Piri Chicken and the Tagliolini with Mussels & Chilli—both dishes were absolutely delicious. The pasta was fresh and full of rich, balanced flavors. We also ordered some dessert to finish off the meal, and it was equally impressive—beautifully presented and satisfying. Overall, Host is a fantastic spot for a quality meal with great service and a relaxed ambiance. Highly recommended for a memorable dining experience in Dublin.

I’ve been here a few times now and it’s always a hit! Absolutely love the food, atmosphere, and service is always lovely. 10/10

My new favourite restaurant in Dublin. Fantastic food, service and atmosphere, I can see now why it's always impossible to get a table. The crab tostada was fantastic but the sharing steak was one of the best I've ever had. Can't wait to go back.

Absolutamente sorprendido por la comida y el personal. La comida era fantástica, en particular la pasta, mi pareja y yo pedimos fuera del menú de chefs y adoramos el entrante y la pasta pre principal. Solo una pequeña queja fue que el entrante y la pasta pre principal era tan increíble que cuando llegó el principal solo era bueno tan ligeramente baja la calidad de la comida. Para ser claros, esto iba de excepcional a grande en lugar de bueno a malo. Es tan difícil quejarse. El personal era muy amable y servicial. Esperamos con interés nuestra próxima visita.

It unfortunately did not live up to the hype. We booked a table for six people and apparently that meant that we were limited only to the chef's menu. The staff said a warning about this is on their website, but I still cannot find it. The atmosphere is quite lovely and the wines were delicious, but the food was lacking. The burrata with the tomatoes was yummy and the crab tostadas surprisingly fresh. The Pumpkin Cappellacci was delicous, but the lamb ragu was very forgettable. The ribeye was cooked well, but lacked seasoning and felt like a very cheap cut with little flavour. My friends' sole was extremely salty. The sides were also a big disappointment, with the broccoletto being so tough that I needed my steak knife to cut through it and the salad fell flat. The potatoes were okay. The tiramisu I got at the end was really good. I do have to mention that the chef's menu said that each pair could pick two sides, but when we were trying to order, we were told not to and that they would bring everything. Apparently that meant bringing all three sides twice, which was very much not what we wanted, so I have no idea why they would just assume that this was okay without asking or explaining. They did fix this when we complained, but we did get some weird looks from the staff. Overall, I found the experience to be lacking, especially for the price point. Please be aware that for large groups, you can only get the chef's menu and be very specific about ordering the sides you want. Not sure if I will be returning, but if I do, it will be in a much smaller party, so I can actually order the things I want to try.

Beautiful food in a calm and relaxed atmosphere v welcoming

Hermosa comida y personal encantador. Realmente se puede apreciar la calidad de la comida y la cantidad perfecta se sirve. El personal es amable y servicial. La mejor comida italiana de calidad que he probado en Dublín. Nuestra única queja era el tiramisú - era muy promedio.

Quite frankly best dining experience I’ve had in Dublin. Not cheap, but absolutely worth it. Chef’s menu recommended
