The Vintage Kitchen in Dublin

Since I came here for the first time in 2010, I have been calling this place "The Best Restaurant by a mile" in city centre. Both the service and the food have always been authentic and there has always been a cozy and lovely vibe to the place. The BYOW was part of their charm and I was able to bring lovely Argentinian wines to our diners. We went with a few colleagues last week and I couldn't help but realize that the restaurant has changed. It is a more upper class level, no more BYOW, and the service although friendly and very professional, it is colder and sophisticated. The dishes are much smaller in portions and quite pricey. Overall it is still a top quality restaurant, I very much enjoyed our meal but it is definitely not the same vive and it is now too formal for my taste. But probably suits if you are looking for a high end, formal type of diner.

We made a reservation in advance since it was the weekend. It was our first visit, and with kids, we spent a while deciding what to order — but the staff were so kind and helpful. The pasta and dishes they recommended for the kids were absolutely amazing. 🤫》The only downside was the limited space inside, which made it feel like we were sharing a table with our neighbors. But once the food arrived, we were so focused on the flavors that we quickly forgot about it. A lovely experience overall♡

Have been here twice. Consistently very tasty and healthy food. Staff have been always very friendly. Place is small so you should come at your designated booked time as there will likely not be a table to seat at.

First time here and loved it. Food, staff, service and atmosphere were excellent. One of the top restaurants I've ever visited and definitely number 1 for Dublin.

It's worth it, everything is quite delicious

Excellent 5* place. We were happy to have a delicious lunch there 😋

We showed up there without a reservation and we're lucky enough to get in and all three of us ate the best meals any of us have had in months. I can't say enough about how great the meal and the people and the whole experience was.

Lord have mercy! My wife and I had the most amazing experience at the Vintage Kitchen. We found it completely by chance. I have dined in many fine restaurants and this one is #1. From the ambiance to the service.and the food, it was the best. Thank you! We'll be back.

¿La tercera vez será mejor la suerte? Visité 5 / 10 / 24 mesa para 7 con un grupo de amigos. El menú era excelente, el personal era alegre, la comida era excelente y buena relación calidad-precio. Lo visité de nuevo ayer y estaba bien. No había el mismo ambiente cálido, el servicio era más lento (por ejemplo, larga espera para nuestra botella de vino) , había una opción de menú más limitada / menos especiales. Tuve la carne de cerdo en octubre y fue increíble, así que pedí lo mismo - esta vez había grasa en la salsa, el corte era pobre y era muy muy graso casi nada de carne. La última vez había un plato de patatas pero no esta vez solo tres hongos que sabían a frito. Estoy añadiendo fotos del plato original que fue increíble y el de ayer que fue enfermizo. Para ser justos la camarera sacó 4€ de la cuenta cuando le mostré que el corte era principalmente gordo. ¿Fue suficiente para compensar un miserable plato fuerte? No estoy seguro. Una sustitución habría sido mejor ya que los platos en las mesas de otras personas se veían bien (burrata, sopa, pastel de pescado y lubina en particular). Iré de nuevo y les daré otra oportunidad, ya que este lugar tiene la decoración chique de mala muerte y podría ser un gran ganador con una buena comida consistente. Me mantendré alejado del cerdo la próxima vez.

Fantástico servicio y buena comida - muy recomendable - el risotto es excepcional, al igual que el paté - gran ambiente bien vale la pena una visita 💕
