Liath in Dublin

I can only say that this was the most amazing experience of my life in terms of fine dining. The food was nothing short of spectacular, every single dish felt like a piece of heaven. The staff were so genuine and friendly. Their table manner was fantastic and you could tell they actually cared. My partner had a major food allergy and every single step of the way she was carefully catered to. The sommeliers really knew their stuff and had no problems really trying to understand what you wanted. My partner and I saved up to go on this evening for a good while. Yes it was expensive, it was worth every single penny and I can assure you we wouldn’t hesitate to spend that type of money again. We intend on coming back next season for a different menu. Thank you all so much for a wonderful evening.

My best friend surprised me with an incredibly special lunch at Liath, a restaurant located in Blackrock, just outside Dublin, Ireland. Saying that the experience exceeded all expectations would be an understatement. Writing a review for a restaurant is one thing, but writing a review for Liath is another entirely. I’ve never felt as comfortable or as welcome in any place as I did here. Liath offers more than just a chance to share a meal. This isn’t simply about food this is about stepping into the chef’s world. The owner and chef, Damien, invites you to experience his passion, his dedication, and his deep respect for his craft through his dishes. He shares a part of himself in every plate, revealing his character and his spirit in a way that goes beyond traditional dining. It’s not just a meal; it’s a journey where you get to know him a little better with every bite. This was a memorable experience, not only because I was with people who mean the world to me, but also because I had the honor of understanding a little more about Damien through his cooking. Each course was a revelation, paired beautifully with wine that enhanced each flavor, and the attentive staff ensured we felt right at home. You truly feel like part of a warm, welcoming environment, sharing something extraordinary. While I’ll let others discover the individual dishes for themselves, I wanted to focus here on the feeling, on the kindness, and on the powerful sense of connection I experienced at Liath. Rather than simply describing the food, I felt it was important to highlight how deeply I was moved by the whole experience. Of course, Liath is a place I wholeheartedly recommend, and I look forward to returning, seeing these incredibly kind people again, and reliving the magic they create.

Simply an amazing experience. We went there for Valentine's Day and my birthday and had a wonderful dinner both times. The chef comes to check on you which is very thoughtful and nice. The food is so elaborate and the vegetarian menu is simply a delight.

Every bite was incredibly flavourful, I didn’t think it’s possible to make certain foods taste good but here they surprise you with everything. The place is a bit small but doesn’t affect the experience

It took me months to snap a table at Liath but it was absolutely worth the wait. I did lunch with the wine pairing and it was perfect - outstanding quality with really interesting wines. I loved the setting (we got a table right beside the chefs table, I loved watching how they assembled and finished off all the dishes) and it was balanced with really friendly and not at all pretentious service. Stunning, I might have to try start hunting for a dinner slot.

Simply magic! Best dining experience in an unique venue. Cannot recommend it enough!

I recommend Liath Restaurant Dublin! This is a Michelin Star level Restaurant. Dress 👗 yourself well and enjoy a lovely dinner exoerience inside. The dishes are unique and very delicious 😋. Friendly, useful and polite staff. Recommend it 🙏

A great experience in this small (6 tables only) restaurant. The kitchen is right next to you so you can see the meticulous work the chefs are doing, organising each dish before it arrives to you table. There is a lot of thought behind each dish and the wine pairing helps to emphasize the experience. The service is spot on!

This is an outstanding restaurant. The food was incredible, with diverse and memorable flavours. The tasting menu was well structured and beautifully presented. We tried the wine pairing and it was delicious. The dining room is small, very informal and relaxed. The staff knowledgeable and extremely friendly. We have had a few bad experiences in Michelin Star restaurants recently. Liath has reenergised our interest in great dining.
