24/07/2025: I've eaten there quite a bit over the last couple of months and have never been disappointed. We had a family dinner for 6 adults and my 6 year old grand daughter a couple of weeks ago and everyone was very happy with the service and their choices of food. If your hesitant to bring children don't be, the staff are very good and attentive were children are concerned .
I would definitely recommend Roly's Bistro for all occasions and especially their stakes.
21/07/2025: Roly’s Bistro, Dublin — Exceptional Irish Dining in Ballsbridge
If you're searching for top-rated restaurants in Dublin, Roly’s Bistro in Ballsbridge should be at the top of your list. This long-standing favorite offers a perfect blend of Irish hospitality, fine dining, and locally sourced ingredients; all in a warm, welcoming setting.
Despite arriving near closing time (without a reservation), our party of three was graciously welcomed. The staff went above and beyond to accommodate us with absolute professionalism and kindness, turning what could’ve been a rushed experience into one of the most memorable meals of our trip.
We enjoyed:
- Wild Mushroom Soup with Truffle Cream — rich, earthy, and beautifully balanced
- Roast Vegetable & Cherry Vine Tomato Salad — fresh and vibrant with parmesan and basil lime dressing
- Ricotta & Spinach Tortellini — comforting pasta with sun-dried tomatoes and basil cream
- Grilled 8oz Fillet of Irish Hereford Beef — perfectly cooked, served with fondant potato and a peppercorn brandy cream sauce
- Irish Berry Meringue Roulade with Lemon Curd — light, tangy, and refreshing
- Sticky Toffee Pudding with Rum & Raisin Ice Cream — indulgent and unforgettable
Every dish was beautifully presented and tasted as good as it looked. Whether you're craving the best steak in Dublin, vegetarian-friendly options, or traditional Irish desserts, Roly’s has it all.
Highly recommend for romantic dinners, business lunches, special occasions, or just an unforgettable dining experience.
Book ahead... though clearly, even at the eleventh hour, they know how to treat their guests right.
