Two guys who like their food, over for the rugby. Booked the early bird menu, both had starter & mains. Best meal we have had in a long time. Tight fit in the restaurant, hence the name, but for me that adds to the experience, and in fact we struck up a conversation with the couple next to us which continued throughout the evening. Staff all pleasant and helpful, despite working in the confines of the space. This place cannot be beaten for quality and value. My second time here, and it is definitely top of my list when I visit Dublin.

Really nice place this. Small and plenty of hustle and bustle about it but the food and the staff really make it. Menu is good and the standard of what comes out of the kitchen is top class. Not focused on the “cheffy” side of things but more on putting out great tasting food.

My friends and I loved the Little Kitchen. The staff are super friendly and the service is excellent. The menu had something for everyone and the crumble was absolutely delicious. The chatter of other diners in the restaurant added a fabulous ambience. Top marks.

Food was incredible, absolutely outstanding and the service was professional and efficient. We were blown away by this great little restaurant. It is small so a larger party beside us made it very noisy, but that was the only minor problem.

We had a wonderful experience @ the Little Kitchen! Even though it’s a very small restaurant, they had our table for 6 ready when we arrived. It was anintimate and cozy atmosphere. The staff and service was top notch and the food was phenomenal! I highly recommend this restaurant when visiting Dublin. Just be sure to a reservation in advance!

Was going to the International rugby game and to be honest glad I couldn't get booked in anywhere nearer the Aviva as I would have missed out on one of the nicest meals I've had in a long time. They offer an early bird menu which is excellent value. The food was piping hot, not often you find that in a restaurant! Also what I didn't know was you can BYO for a small corkage fee, even though they do have their own wine menu.....now that is a rare thing but a brilliant thing 😀 I'm not from the area but if I was I'd definitely be a regular at The Little Kitchen 😉

We were a party of 5 for lunch. We had 3 starters 5 mains 3 desserts 2 coffees and a bottle of wine for less than 200 including service. The food was outstanding and the service was very good but unobtrusive - impressive in an intimate setting such as this. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience!

Good little spot and reasonable value for money. Maybe a bit of background music to drown out all the loud chatting for Dublin prices very reasonable
