Best Historic Restaurants in Temple Bar

My husband, daughter and I had a lovely lunch here today. My daughter wanted to taste the Soupe à L'Oignon and was not disappointed.. Lovely, tasty food and atmosphere with a French feel in a lovely cosy environment..would recommend

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.

Ate in front bar. Great atmosphere, delicious food, friendly attentive staff.

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.
