The Pines in Dublin

08/08/2026: Got the most amazing food here at a quieter time in the restaurant so practically had the place to ourselves. The flavours used in each course worked so well together and we got a perfect wine recommendation for what we wanted. I got octopus risotto for main course and it was cooked to perfection. Only issue was that the restaurant was a bit bright.

26/07/2026: Loveliest experience in Ireland. Wonderful cote de boeuf with the perfect combination of vegetables (brócoli & salad), giving it the perfect texture and soft/balanced vinaigrette flavours. For dessert our boy chose the white chocolate with strawberry sorbet. The basil touch, freshness and texture were and ideal combination. As a courtesy (given they heard me saying it was the one I would have chosen) they brought us the Guiness cake with cream cheese and pecans. Simply amazing! Every dish and the combination of all the flavours, textures and authenticity made it the highlight of our trip! Will recommend it forever! Thank you also for the loveliest service extremely sweet while still subtle.
