Best Historic Restaurants in Capel Street

Excellent service, speedy with a smile. Could have done with spoons for our desserts though! Cosy atmosphere and a roaring fire to warm us on a grey day in January. Stew was a bit salty. Apart from that, the food was wholesome and visually appealing. Would recommend the soup and Focaccia chicken.

Afternoon tea is one of life’s accessible luxuries, and tea at the Shelbourne is one of the best. You may only have a yacht or a fancy apartment in your dreams, but you can be treated like royalty while sitting in the Shelbourne’s beautiful lounge. The food, drinks, and service are all impeccable. For anyone looking for a special way to celebrate an event in Dublin, this is the place to do it.

My first time back at Chez Maz for almost a year. Excellent service and food. Had les escargot and the plat du jour which was haddock. The only challenge was a very loud customer having a meeting which we all heard

I was delighted by this oasis on the upper floor of Arnotts. The setting, decor, and service are perfect. I would expect to pay a premium for table service restaurants in the city centre, but it was very reasonably priced. There is a good choice of honemade pasta, pizza and salads, but with more interesting and good quality ingredients such as nduja sausage, Burrata cheese, artichoke and prosecco cream sauce. Delightful selection of flatbreads, dips, and drinks too. The pistachio ice-cream tartufo was sublime and generously portioned, at only €8. Low key jazz music was a welcome balm to the ears compared to the usual blaring cacophony one must endure in even the nicest cafés and restaurants. I congratulated the manager on such a well executed establishment. I will return.

Never a bad experience. We frequent DB every time we are in Dublin. The experience is always satisfying. We had dinner reservations for a Friday night (highly recommended). Quick to seat and serve us. Delicious food. Great drinks and the staff is always friendly. Will return. Family of four adults.
