Host in Dublin

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

The food was unbelievable, highly recommended the pappardelle beef shin ragu, it was really good. The steak was also perfect. Staff were excellent. Looking forward to going back :) Booking is definitely required.

We got the chefs menu with the striploin option, every dish was delicious. One of the nicest meals I've had in Dublin. We'll definitely be back.

Had such a lovely dinner tonight ✨ The food was incredibly fresh, every dish full of flavour and beautifully prepared. We decided to go with the chef’s recommendation, and it was absolutely the right choice, from the starter all the way through to dessert, everything was spot on. The service was superb too, attentive, friendly, and made the whole experience even better. The vibe of the place is cool and relaxed, perfect for a chill evening out. Couldn’t have been happier with the whole experience. Highly recommend! 🍽️
