I Monelli in Dublin

13/09/2025: Being visitors in town, we rely pretty heavily on reviews and ratings for restaurants - and let me tell you something that the already amazing reviews might not: Daniel's, Daniel in particular, is a rare find that you'll be lucky to have the chance to meet, interact with and remember. The food is French inspired with the Irish touch of top tier local ingredients - but it's the total experience that makes this a note-worthy stop for anyone in the area. Daniel sits with you, he talks with you, he tells your the stories of his food, his recipes and his travels. This isn't a fast paced modern restaurant with the most innovative food/non-food menu items. This is exactly the charm, in full, that those places are missing. It's classic food, beautifully done. It's an absolute wonder of an owner/chef who really enjoys this thing he's done for over 3 decades and who really is lit up from within to see you enjoy his food. This is the real deal of a restaurant that we're all too often missing in today's world. Take the time. Slow down. Enjoy your food. Go meet Daniel. You won't regret it.
