Really Great food and service! Went to watch the rugby and the one TV wasn’t working. Then we asked if the sound for the TV could be turned on inside to watch the rugby and was told owner doesn’t allow this. The sound for TV was on outside and they did have heaters. Just an FYI if you wanting to watch rugby.

Best gluten free burger I’ve ever had! I never leave reviews but the staff went out of their way for me and my allergies and it was just a really lovely experience!

The Purty Kitchen (Dún Laoghaire) is a really lovely spot, great location, well maintained, and the soft sailor-style decor gives it a warm, coastal feel without being over the top.
Service was excellent from start to finish. Our server’s recommendation ended up being the highlight of the meal: the seafood chowder was genuinely one of the best I’ve had in a long time, rich, properly seafood-forward, and beautifully balanced. Food did take a little longer than I’d normally expect, but not to the point where it spoiled the experience.
Everything that arrived did so with style and tasted fantastic: kids’ burger, adult burger, seafood chowder, duo of beefs, plus the shrimp piri piri starter, properly satisfying and well put together. Desserts (apple and lemon curd tart, sticky toffee pudding) were the only letdown; they were fine, but didn’t match the standard set by the mains.
It’s a fairly big venue with plenty of seating, but I’d still recommend booking to avoid disappointment. Solid 4 stars, would absolutely return for that chowder alone.

Always a safe bet for really good food and a very nice location- however last night the service wasn’t great - had to ask for menus after waiting about 15 minutes at the table - requested condiments were forgotten about and had to chase the bill and then chase payment - staff were pleasant but went missing on occasion. Still a nice evening and always a good option.

Had a really lovely experience at The Purty Kitchen. The atmosphere is cosy and welcoming, with that perfect mix of traditional pub charm and relaxed dining. The food was genuinely excellent — fresh, well cooked, and clearly made with care. Everything we ordered was full of flavour and beautifully presented.
The staff were friendly and attentive without being overbearing, which made the whole experience feel easy and enjoyable. It’s the kind of place you can settle into for a long lunch or a relaxed evening and not feel rushed.
A great spot in Dún Laoghaire — would happily return and definitely recommend to anyone looking for good food and a warm, laid-back vibe.
