Marco Pierre White’s idea of simple is old school: elegant dishes prepared using the finest ingredients by chefs trained in London by Marco himself. The deceptively simple menu demands every dish earn its place: the choicest cuts of meat, freshest fish, classic sauces. The vibe? Grown up, relaxed, playful. The setting? An opulent room you’ll feel at home in, only better!

There is also a full range of Salads and Sandwiches to compliment these and, as often as not, you can enjoy Oysters and Guinness.The classic Gorgonzola sandwich with a glass of Burgundy as mentioned in Ulysses is available every day.Unfortunately, we cannot accommodate strollers/buggies indoors at Davy Byrnes but subject to availability, we can at our outside terraced area.

Had dinner at Fade Street Social - The Main Restaurant tonight, and it was excellent! The atmosphere was lively but comfortable, with great attention to detail in the service. The staff were friendly and helpful, making the whole experience smooth and enjoyable. The food was top-notch—well-prepared, flavorful, and beautifully presented. It’s a bit on the pricier side, but the quality and overall experience made it worth it. Definitely a spot I’d recommend and revisit!
