Mary's in Dublin

13/04/2025: Bastible is a true gem in a lively part of Dublin. The food was outstanding — perfectly seasoned, full of bold flavours, and showcasing real culinary skill. The flavour combinations were unusual in the best possible way, each dish a surprise that worked beautifully. The mushroom custard was an absolute stunner, and the horseradish foam with caviar and tartare was a brilliant combination that worked incredibly well. The set menu was offered at a very fair price point, making the experience all the more impressive. The wine list, though small, was well curated, and the sommelier was helpful and attentive. The staff overall were friendly and the atmosphere relaxed and welcoming. The only downside was the double seating, which made the evening feel a bit rushed — we would have loved just a little more time to savour the experience. Still, an excellent restaurant we’d return to in a heartbeat.
