Liath in Dublin

What an unique experience from start to finish exploring all the 5 differents taste pallets. The lobster tortellini was to die for, the deer was by far righteous the favorite of the sommelier and the cheese was in a unique way incorporated in the menu and style of chef Damien! We loved the last course where everything came together and the homemade bread was a dish on it’s own! The prestige wine tasting is a winner as well and highly recommended! If we ever have the pleasure tot travel to Dublin again, we will come back! Thank you for the wonderful hospitality end unique experience!

When you dine at a 2 star Michelin restaurant you expect exceptional food; that much is taken for granted; and, of course, unique carefully considered wine pairings, but what you don’t often get is a clear view of the kitchen and a head chef that brings the food out, chats about his decision making; his experimentation; and how your night is going, like you’ve known him for years. He didn’t seem to have the big ego that often comes with this level of culinary mastery. My date couldn’t make it, so I was forced to dine alone, which was a huge shame, however in some ways it allowed me to pay more attention to the smaller details of the evening. The Michelin award ceremony comes to Dublin in February 2026, could this be Ireland’s moment to finally claim an elusive third star—with Ozzy chef Damien Grey at the helm; I wouldn’t bet against it. I feel blessed to have a restaurant of this calibre only a stone’s throw from where I live. Niall O’ Connor, the sommelier, is a walking encyclopaedia of under the radar wines, you really have to try his classic wine pairing. Maybe next time I will try the private cellar wine pairing—just need to visit the Louvre first for some unfinished business 😂. Bonne chance for February.

Tastes, flavours explode The interplay of the tastes with drinks is great too. Great experience & its theatre on a table! Thanks to the great team in Liath

A culinary journey, an assault on the taste buds in the best way possible! Still not sure about olive oil with the plums! A thoroughly enjoyable evening. Great food and attentive service from Mr G and the team. Very special occasion territory! Privileged to have had the experience.

We absolutely loved Liath, and will be back. The food and wine pairing was excellent even for this type of fine dining establishment. The restaurant is run by a small team that loves their craft and it shows. Throughly enjoyable. The quality of cooking we had was comparable to some 3 Michelin stars we've done. It really shows the chef and team have an excellent understanding of flavours to go along their technique. If fine dining food is your thing, go here. If your experience is anything like ours, you'll love it. I can't give it a better review that saying we will definitely be back next time are visiting Dublin

Wow! What an experience we had at Liath last night. The food and wine pairings were imaginative, gorgeous and delicious. We'll 100% be back come the winter season to see what Chef Damien creates. The restaurant is small although manages to feel spacious while intimate. The service is impeccable without feeling pretentious and still feeling welcoming and friendly. Johnny created interesting and delicious wine pairings. Ailish was warm, passionate and attentive. The flow of service was quite natural and the restaurant clearly operates like a highly experienced and qualified team. Best meal of our life! We'll see you all soon!

I had truly hoped this would be a glowing review, full of praise. Instead, my translation of Liath into Turkish will have to be: “İçi Boş Balon”. I’ve eaten in top-end restaurants from Paris to Tokyo, Istanbul to Taipei, San Francisco to Singapore, and I’ve learned that disappointment is sometimes part of the journey. Sadly, this was one of those times. If not for the thoughtful wine pairings (compliments to the sommelier), a few of the sweets, and the excellent stout bread, the meal would have been unforgettably bland from beginning to end. The langoustine was lost in its role as a filling. The “pollan” fish was overly pickled. The pata negra drowned in vinegar. The eel cone —Liath’s signature— stood out as a spectacular exception, a rare highlight. Frozen cheese may be an intriguing idea, but here it didn’t land (save for its marvellous match with the 2018 Domaine Rolet Côtes du Jura). We left feeling we needed a second dinner — which, in fact, we went and had. 🙂

Esta es una experiencia mágica, con todas las papilas gustativas despiertas y nada dado por sentado. La bienvenida es cálida y profesional, el ambiente es íntimo y tranquilo, la comida es sublime, los maridajes de vinos son perfectos. Sin alboroto, se explicaron los platos. Esto incluía cada elemento, su derivación y desarrollo, junto con el sabor y las sensaciones que deberíamos esperar. Como podéis adivinar, me encanta Liath. Vuelvo a menudo y traigo familia, amigos, visitantes, cualquier excusa en realidad! Ya sea una experiencia única en la vida o un lugar para celebrar hitos, recomiendo Damien Grey y su talentoso equipo.

intimate, super friendly with flavours to die for. Outstanding!

Fantástica noche mientras disfruta de esta comida! La comida era deliciosa. Todo se veía fantástico, y sabía aún mejor. Todos los gustos coincidían entre sí, y gracias al amable personal, pudimos conocer cómo se construyó cada campo y el significado detrás de cada gusto. Muy interesante - especialmente para nuestro joven chef - ser. 😉 El vino - maridaje y no alcohólico - maridaje también fueron muy bien pensados y explicados. Muy recomendable - volvería de nuevo si viviéramos un poco más cerca.
