Very nice food, but it's definitely quality over quantity (I ordered the duck breast and was still hungry). My starter was small too, meaning I had to take dessert, and again it was OK, I wasn't blown away by the meal tbh.
All in all the bang for buck wasn't there for me, there are plenty of over nicer restaurants for better and more affordable prices.

My daughter and I stopped at this lovely wine bar/ restaurant in the midst of our sightseeing. We were immediately greeted by Greg who felt like an old friend from the moment we met him. The wine list is wonderful, the small plates were perfect! We had the smoked mackerel which was divine. The window seat was a lovely place to rest and rejuvenate before our next event of the day. This will be a stop for me any time I return to Dublin.

Two of us had the duck dish and raviolo dish with scallops starter. It was the best duck I have ever had. In my personal top five meals hall of fame. The sort of dish that makes you desire a second helping. Our server was excellent. I ordered a wine and she brought two different samples to see which I liked better because most people preferred the one I had not ordered. She was right and I think the one she recommended may have been cheaper too. So not just upselling I think. Great place. Wholeheartedly recommend.

Myself and my husband were seated at the window which was special!.
We are both vegan, which can be tricky in a lot of restaurants but not at Hugo's..a lovely choice of dishes and the food ..the textures and flavours were wonderful!..Delicious wine and cocktails..we had a fantastic wedding anniversary!
The staff are warm and welcoming..the decor is beautifully decorated and cosy.
Would highly recommend!

Amazing food and service. The schnitzel was perfectly moist and the mackerel had marvelously rich flavor. Lovely decor as well.

Great, amazing place which we visited with my husband during our several days stay in Dublin several times both for lunch and dinners. Awesome food and drinks, cozy, warm atmosphere, elegant design and amazing service. Special thanks to David for perfect, high quality and super professional service. The Hugo's is now one of reasons for us to come back to Dublin :).

Reservado Hugo's por consejo de amigos, luego leí algunas de las críticas y todo lo que puedo decir aquí es, si la Leona en hugo's defendió su restaurante con tanto vigor no puede ser malo y no lo fue. Tuvimos una comida maravillosa, hecho aún más especial por la cortesía y atención de todos en Hugo's. Greg gracias por tu ayuda en la mesa. Gran encuentro Gina la niña del convento de Occidente.

I had read about Hugo’s restaurant in an article about Ireland two years ago in the United Hemisphere magazine.
Today we had a lovely sunny meal on the sidewalk cafe surrounded by beautiful flowers pleasant waiters and ate delicious food. I highly recommend this eatery. You won’t be disappointed. Also the street views both ways for my husband and I were lovely.
