Old Music Shop in Dublin

Lovely experience and highly recommend!

Absolutely gorgeous place to dine. Sinead our lovely hostess was so helpful and nice.

A romantic hotel 🥰, the restaurant was the icing on the cake

We booked the afternoon tea menu and it was a wonderful experience: it's a quiet and very classy place, with a great variety of snacks and pastries. Highly recommended.

We had a lovely enjoyable afternoon tea here where the food, tea and coffee were delicious. The favourite was the toasted fruit cake. The selection of savoury and sweet were all tasty. The staff were very friendly and attentive.

We came for afternoon tea with my 8 years old daughter as her very first experience of this tradition. Until a certain point, everything was lovely: a calm atmosphere, beautiful table setting, and the feeling of taking part in a special ritual together. However, the moment that changed everything was when she noticed that other tables had plenty of fresh strawberries on their afternoon tea stands, while ours had none at all. For an adult, this might seem like a small detail. But for a child — and especially when it’s her first introduction to afternoon tea — it matters a lot. Her immediate question was simple and heartbreaking: “Why do they have it and we don’t?” From that moment, my attitude towards the place shifted. Afternoon tea is about care, attention, and making every guest feel equally valued. When that balance is broken — particularly for a child — the experience loses its magic. Perhaps it was a mistake or an ingredient shortage, but no explanation was offered, and no alternative was suggested. Sometimes a small gesture or a few words can change everything — but that didn’t happen here. The venue itself is charming and has great potential, but for us this visit ended with disappointment. When it comes to a child’s first impression, details are not minor — they are the foundation of trust and memory.

Me and my sister had the Afternoon Tea. The food was very nice and fresh. The only thing that tainted our experience was the lack of service. Other than showing us to our table and bringing the food, no one from the staff checked on us. We had to go to the counter a few times to get more coffee and tea. The ambience and decorations are lovely, and the price for two people is fair.

We had a lovely afternoon tea experience. The food was delicious overall, with the scones and éclairs standing out in particular, fresh, well-balanced, and clearly made with care. A special mention to Diego, who served us and made the experience even better. He was genuinely friendly, attentive, and very helpful without being intrusive. Great food and warm service. We’d happily come back.

An excellent place for afternoon tea and in general. Wonderful atmosphere and excellent service!
