Best International Restaurants in Golden Lane

Irish Film Institute & Café is a unique central Dublin venue. Lovely to enjoy an arthouse film & chat afterwards over good food, wine, coffee, desserts etc. IFI annual membership also gives discounts for films + the café. The service was great, the food just right & very good value in a candle-lit relaxing atmosphere.

Food was very good. Staff were amazing However open table advertises a dinner for 2 Monday to Saturday for €80 which is actually not available at restaurant

Booked an early dinner for 2 people midweek. It was a small anniversary celebration for us. The restaurant was very quiet and we were greeted warmly and friendly by the host who assured us we could store our wheelchair without needing to bring it down to the table. Server was super friendly and personable. Our drinks and food came extremely quickly - right after our bread (fresh focaccia and olive oil) and drinks had just been brought. The food overall was delicious and very high quality. I had pork belly and sausage bucatini and got a full piece of pork belly on top of the pasta which had a delicious creamy sauce. My husband had pizza and ate every scrap of it. Also had a side of cheddar bacon fries. Yum! We got 2 desserts - mulled wine poached pears and a caramel sundae (couldn’t convince hubs to get the Christmas putting parfait with eggnog anglaise!) and a couple of cokes and a mocktail. Value was good for what we got - I did note a few items on the menu were quite highly priced a steak over €40 for example but that seems to be the norm now of extremely overly priced select items. Overall a delicious meal, friendly, attentive staff and a nice interior / vibe / decor in the place. My only small complaint was it was pretty cold - needed my jacket put back around my shoulders during the meal, It was the start of the freezing cold weather outside this week so maybe hadn’t thought to get heating going inside just yet! Otherwise no real complaints and will certainly be back ! Thanks for a lovely evening at Isabelle’s.

Excellent service and food was delicious. Very quick service.

The staff are so lovely. They don’t rush you , funny and chatty. foods delish and cocktails looked amazing. Will definitely be back.
