The Balgriffin Inn in Dublin

07/05/2026: Finest meal and combination of flavours in Dublin. Don't miss it.

06/05/2026: This is not food... it is culinary art at its finest. It is a very rare restaurant that prepares food as delicate and precise as this. The chefs are of the highest standard, the food was delicious, well thought out and visually stunning. The night's conversation leaned heavily on the quality and taste of the food, especially after trying a couple of the chef's specials. The word "remarkable" found it's meaning in each plate we tasted. We, admittedly, cheekily ordered one or two of the pricier items on the menu and were presented with dishes so delightful, they are difficult to describe with mere words. That is not hyperbole. Alongside our meal, the summer menu cocktails went down a treat. There is also an extensive wine menu which we did not partake in. Staff are lovely, respectful and attentive. I would recommend this restaurant for a special romantic date night, for true blood fans of food and for any aspiring chefs. This is very possibly the best meal I have ever eaten in Dublin. Once again, not hyperbole. 10/10 - Rob
