The Wooden Whisk in Dublin

06/01/2026: Absolutely amazing food and such a lovely atmosphere. Staff were amazing and so welcoming. Dog friendly too which is a bonus. Will definitely be back with the whole family.

04/01/2026: October 2025 My wife and I traveled from Ohio for our anniversary. This was a must visit all thanks to Anthony Bourdain’s episode featuring this restaurant. We didn’t realize you could stay here (based on the show.) Well, we did! Our room was “Oyster Bay” and it has one of the prettiest views either of us had ever experienced. If you choose to book a room, breakfast is included and it’s delicious! Everything here goes far and beyond any expectation(s) one might have. We were fortunate enough to eat and drink while Jack was working. His kindness throughout our visit was lovely. He is a master of music playlists! We devoured so much of the menu. Dublin Bay Prawns, Mussels, Lobster Thermidor, and even more. The bread and butter itself is incredible and that says a lot! Everything was crafted with such care. The limited Black Sole entree was being featured that evening. Of course we ordered it- and it was heavenly! We had a variety of cocktails and some of the best Irish whiskey! Everything was excellent! The staff for the hotel portion and the restaurant are all amazing people! This is a must, MUST trip to make. Once you’re here, please ask for Jack and tell him Mark and Gail from Ohio say hello and they’d rather be listening to Steely Dan (there not in Ohio) ;)
