Union8 in Dublin

Stop looking for the best restaurant in town, I've found it for you! The dining room is incredibly beautiful, tastefully decorated and the chairs/banquettes are ultra-comfortable. The staff are friendly, helpful and attentive, without being too stuffy... in short, everything you'd want in a restaurant. Finally, the food is delicious, concocted by the chef with quality ingredients and very well executed. The seasonings are surprisingly accurate! I recommend that you take your pick from the menu and try as many of the tapas-style dishes placed in the middle of the table as possible. Individual main courses are also available. Exceptional value for money !!! Thank you so much for a wonderful evening temps🫶🏻

They serve good brunches here, recommended on your visit to the prison.

Lovely place for breakfast especially if the sun is out. Has a lovely dining area outside.

I had an Avo toast, it was absolutely delicious.

We ate here this afternoon (Fri 4th April 25) with four adults and three children between 17:00h and 19:30h. There was a kids menu with 3 options, which was good. There was a reasonable evening menu presented with some nice starters and light bites and then a short but ample selection of main courses, full disclosure the kitchen only opened at 17:00h. But the brava sauce was not ready when we tried to order bravas. The wines were expensive, we ordered one white and one red (I have to call it out) with the cheapest bottle at €29 euro which was highly overpriced although very nice. The seating was a nice table in the window but with the setting sun it was glarey. The staff were very over anxious to clear the plates even when there was still food to eat, a server even asked to take the cutlery when there was still food to be eaten. Overall we felt it was a bit rushed for us for an early evening meal.

Tried the new menu and the food has improved so much since the last time we visited a year ago. It’s a little expensive but great quality food. Wings and fries were great. My husband got the special — a steak — and he said it was the best he’s had in Dublin. It should definitely be a permanent fixture on the menu! Looking forward to trying more of their small plates next time.

Held a celebration here, the staff were perfectly amazing and accommodating. Had the fish and chips for lunch and was completely blown away as a person who doesn't normally like fish. It was so moist and fresh and crispy!!! Service was also quick. Atmosphere was lovely and the place looks very pleasant too with a dine outside option. Will visit again!

I’ve been here several times now but the last time was a little disappointing. The menu has changed (again) where they have very few mains. Only two burgers, fish and chips, and a special. This is in lieu of adding in loads of small plates. We went on a day where we were told that they had delivery issues so it seemed like a third of the menu was unavailable. The food was good for the most part, except perhaps for the gambas which came unshelled, and I was given a hand wipe as it’s very hard to pull off the shells with a knife and fork. I wasn’t aware they would come like this, honestly the first time I’ve had them served this way in Ireland where I had to crack them open with my hands. The patatas bravas were good. Unfortunately if you want a full meal you need to order several small plates but the tables aren’t big enough for the plates they use. They did let us drag over another table for the extra plates but that was a bit chaotic. I hope they return to their previous menu set-up, I probably won’t be back otherwise.

Exvellent place to eat and unwind

Went here for a Valentine's dinner and we were very happy with everything. The food was delicious, service fantastic and a lovely atmosphere. Thanks to Camila & staff for great and friendly service, and for making a surprise Valentine's dessert plate too. The calamari starter was unreal & the beef shin lasagne as a main was delicious. The cocktails are handmade and top notch.
