We attended a festive afternoon tea and was waited on by David. David was patient and kind. The atmosphere was very cosy and fun, the food was exciting and yummy… we had such a great time. Thank you!

this was such a delicious afternoon treat! Loved it and such good value. I will definitely be bringing my grandparents when they come visit

We have come here a few times over the past few months for lunch and have always left happy. Service, food and atmosphere has been perfect every time. We plan on coming back for afternoon tea next as we have heard it is a fabulous experience!

Always a pleasure to have afternoon tea here. Every year myself, my husband, kids and friend plus kids come here for afternoon tea. The staff are always lovely, the food good value and the kids feel so grown up with their own afternoon tea. Definitely recommend it and it's great value. See you all next October:)

We came here to celebrate my friend’s 30th birthday with some afternoon tea and were overwhelmed by the hospitality we were met with! The staff had decorated the table with balloons and a birthday banner and they were so attentive and friendly. The food was absolutely delicious and we will definitely recommend this place to anyone coming to Dublin. 10/10! 🫶🏻

Was a fantastic afternoon tea I took one star off the food as is we could have got more of a selection of sandwiches The staff were very friendly and helpful

The Castel Hostel's evening restaurant. Live music from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. Hearty traditional Irish meals with decent wines.

We booked an afternoon tea for two at 3 PM at The Old Music Shop in Dublin, and from the moment we arrived, we felt genuinely welcomed and cared for. While booking online, I requested a window table if possible — not only did they accommodate this, but they went above and beyond. We were greeted with a big smile and such a joyful attitude that it set the tone for the entire experience. I had called earlier to say we might be running late, and instead of any stress, they completely reassured us — no pressure, no problem. The staff was outstanding. They created a warm, personal atmosphere, always making sure we were comfortable and enjoying ourselves. I wish I had caught the names of the team (two hostesses and a host), because they absolutely deserve to be recognized. At one point, the owner, Finn, came over to check on us 🤯 — and we made sure to tell him just how fantastic the team had been. The room itself, part of The Castle Hotel, is beautifully decorated and has that quiet, timeless charm that makes you want to stay for hours. Natural sunlight poured in through the windows, adding to the peaceful and elegant vibe. The menu matched exactly what was shown online and exceeded our expectations. We started with a generous selection of flavorful sandwiches, moved on to fresh scones (oh god 😍), and ended with a delightful variety of desserts — chocolate mousse, macarons, and more. The tea and coffee selection was great, and we were even offered free refills after the first round, which was a lovely touch. We’re not experts, but we’ve had our share of visiting cafes, restaurants, etc. — and this place gave us far more than we expected for the price. Honestly, I’m worried I won’t have such a good experience again for a long, long time. My mother was beyond happy, and I know she’ll treasure this day for years. A heartfelt thank you to the entire staff for such a memorable evening ❤️ — and to Finn for checking in and making us feel like more than just customers.
