18/01/2026: Absolutely phenomenal from start to finish. This restaurant delivers an experience that goes far beyond a great meal. The atmosphere in Peploe’s strikes the perfect balance between stylish and welcoming with their staff making you feel relaxed the moment you walk in. The service is very attentive, warm, and genuinely thoughtful and every recommendation felt personal.
The food is where it truly shines. Each dish is beautifully presented and bursting with flavor, clearly made with high-quality ingredients and so evident in their exquisite starter Scampi of Dublin Bay Prawns with the lightest batter wrapping the sweet succulent prawns. From the first bite to the last, everything was perfectly balanced and memorable.
Portion sizes were generous without being overwhelming, the main of Prime Irish Beef Fillet with Fondant Potatoes and Peppercorn Sauce was perfectly cooked with a beautifully caramelized crust that gave way to a warm, rosy center, seasoned simply to let the purity of the beef shine. The Mains Special that night was Barbary Duck with Foie Gras and Cherry Sauce. The Duck Breast had its fat perfectly rendered and foie gras added a silken, luxurious depth, while the cherry sauce cut through with bright acidity and gentle sweetness, bringing the dish into perfect balance. Even the smallest details, like the sides and sauces, were exceptional. Peploe’s menu offers something for everyone while still feeling creative and refined. This is the kind of place you keep thinking about long after you leave. A true gem with excellent staff that are welcoming, professional and mindful. An easy five-star experience and a big reason we’ll be back
