I came here as a solo traveller, by chance, in the rain. Totally worth it, one of the best meals I've ever eaten. How do they make cabbage do that? Thank you for the wine recommend too 👌

My wife and I enjoyed an amazing lunch sitting in one of tables looking out of the restaurant windows. We had the bread service, oysters, soup, duck mousse, and the short ribs. All dishes were exceptional. What was even more exceptional was our waiter John who made us feel incredibly welcomed and well taken care of. Highly recommend!

We went here for lunch and quite enjoyed our meal. We both had a selection from the lunch menu, the sandwich of the day and a pasta with delicious beef ragu.

Exceptional food, service and atmosphere! The oysters were fresh, perfectly dressed and the rib-eye was perfect. Don’t sleep on the small side of scallop potatos and get the bread service. Wine list is very approachable. Well done Hugo’s.

We stopped into Hugo’s last weekend on a whim for a glass of wine before dinner somewhere else, and pretty much as soon as we walked in, we wished we’d booked dinner here instead.
The place has such a warm, cozy feel to it, with wine bottles lining the back wall, and after looking at the menu, we immediately regretted already having dinner plans.
But what really made the place was the people. A special shoutout to Imogen, who was fantastic. I’m very much an Italian red wine drinker, especially Amarone, and she took the time to steer me toward a few French reds I probably never would have ordered on my own. She even let me taste them before committing to a glass, which I really appreciated.
We only came in for a drink, but Hugo’s ended up being one of those unexpected finds you remember from a trip. Next time I’m in Dublin, it’s absolutely on my dinner list.

Absolutely delighted by my experience here. From walking up you could see the outdoor seating and the views into the window tables. You enter and it feels like going back in time to someone’s home with a wine wall in front of you and gorgeous, textured wallpaper, plush cushion and both booth and chair and high top table options. The staff (Luke and Imogen) were welcoming and friendly. The menu was full of
Delicious items.
Since I was at Hugo’s I opted for a Hugo Spritz which I paired with their signature oysters to start, the soup of the day a cream corn chowder with Irish bread on the side and finished with a light pannacotta for dessert. I had a late lunch so not a huge appetite or I would have gone for even more.
Great as a solo diner or a group. They had seating in the upper and lower dining areas. Plus the outdoors. Highly recommend and would return.
