Host in Dublin

Exceptional! Would swim across the Atlantic for another dinner here.

Top class! Love the chefs menu, you get to try a fantastic selection of dishes from the main menu. Wine list is quite enteric. Staff are amazing and very knowledgeable. Highly recommend. (Rib eye steak not pictured - is beautiful!)

Host is consistently one of the best dining experiences in Dublin. Every dish shows great technique, balance and flavour. The service is attentive, knowledgeable and just right, with a nice balance of professionalism and warmth. The wine recommendations always complement the food well. Host is a restaurant that absolutely deserves its reputation.

For our final night in Ireland, my wife and I made reservations at Host in Dublin and decided to try the Chef’s Menu for Two. It ended up being one of the best dining experiences of our trip. We paired the meal with a bottle of Luis Seabra Xisto white wine, which was excellent. To start, we enjoyed the burrata with peaches and the shiitake mushroom arancini. The burrata was fresh and creamy, while the arancini was perfectly fried with a rich, comforting flavor. Our pasta course featured the Pumpkin Cappellacci with walnut and sage and the Pappardelle with lamb shoulder ragu. Both were outstanding, but the pumpkin cappellacci was our favorite. The highlight of the evening was the pork chop with mushroom gravy, fried potatoes with aioli, and a fresh tomato salad. It was hands down the best pork chop either of us has ever had—perfectly cooked, incredibly tender, and packed with flavor. To finish, we had the tiramisu, which somehow managed to top everything else. We both agreed it was the best tiramisu we’ve ever eaten. From the exceptional food to the attentive service, Host delivered what was arguably the best meal of our entire trip. If you’re visiting Dublin, this restaurant is an absolute must. We can’t wait to come back.

I had such a lovely night at Host. Great food... Trust me actually Great. Everything was delicious. Staff was friendly, professional and made our night even better. There are not many places like this in Dublin. I would highly recommended it for a special date night.

Food was excellent, nice ambiance and very good service. We love sharing food and we went for the chefs menu which was excellent. Our server, a very nice Irish guy (I did not get his name) was very attentive and polite. I’d be back!

Amazing food and friendly staff! I really recommend the chefs menu, you get to try a bit of everything and it’s good value for money.

5-stars but honestly go to Uno Mas (UM). Host struggles. Uno Mas dos it better in every single way, so don't waste your money going here.

Excellent service, food and produce very fresh and prepared to exacting standards. Very well selected wine list. Very friendly and well trained staff. Highly recommended, reservations only. Even the Friday late lunch was fully booked.

Great Italian dishes, shared menu. Have been a few times, service always excellent, food on first few visits excellent but unfortunately not as good on most recent visit which was disappointing. Hopefully a one off as previously ranked Host right up there
