Lottie's

New Year’s Eve at Lottie’s was a genuinely relaxed, well-organised dinner. From the moment we arrived, the service felt calm, attentive, and perfectly paced — present when needed, never intrusive. The atmosphere was cosy and intimate, with soft lighting and a nice sense of privacy even when the room was busy. Everything felt seamless, from being welcomed and seated to the final moments of the evening. Overall, it was a polished, comfortable experience with great attention to detail — exactly the kind of place you want for a quiet night out.

For a restaurant with a Bib Gourmand I would’ve expected a more personal service with a bit of character and warmth. Some dishes were very good and inspired (fried artichokes), others were disappointing (mezze maniche with aubergines). The vibe was nice even if we were assigned possibly the most unfortunate table.

The true question about Lottie's is what is better - the cocktails or the food. I honestly cannot tell as both were absolutely magnificent. I visited Lottie's on a Friday evening and enjoyed the "Early evening menu". As the Guide Michelin, awarding the venue for the second year in a row with "Bib Gourmand" (rightfully so!) points out correctly - the menu is a true bargain. Three courses for 40€ needs no more words. Quality, quantity and taste were fantastic. I also enjoyed two of their signature cocktails - the "Hazelnut's Old Fashioned" and a "Salted Caramel Espresso Martini" which were a true joy as well. If I ever get back to Dublin, I know where my first stop will be.

One of my favorite restaurants in Dublin currently. Fantastic food. The best gnocchi I ever had! Fantastic potato skins, I’d eat them for a main course no problem… Beautiful, classy venue, but not too obvious. Truly wonderful service. Kind and professional. I’d only wish they’d be open for lunch daily.

We loved our dinner at Lottie’s! The food was very good. We had the potato skins and peppers as a snack. We really liked the potato skins, the peppers were nice too but not super special. We both had the Butcher’s Secret as our main, which was incredible. Often times you order a steak somewhere and it’s just that: a steak, with nothing special to remember it by. This time the steak had a great flavor (as if it was charcoal grilled or something like that) with a very tasty sauce. It definitely left us with a great impression. The staff is super friendly and attentive. You never have to wait long to order something and they take every request serious. When I inquired about the gluten free options, the chef came to our table to explain what’s all possible. Very professional and knowledgeable staff. I would definitely recommend this restaurant in Dublin if you’re looking for something a bit more special than your typical steak/burger with fries which you find in so many restaurants here. A bit more pricey, sure, but it also was worth the price!

We chose the New Year’s Eve course, and even though there was a kids' menu available, my 8yr old daughter decided to enjoy the same course as us. She finished every dish, including dessert, feeling full and completely satisfied! Our family was absolutely delighted with everything - the meal, the cozy ambiance, the attentive service from the staff – everything was simply perfect. We're so happy to have discovered such an exceptional place. Wishing you continued success, and we’ll definitely be back! I’ll be recommending this spot to all my friends visiting Ireland. Happy New Year! **My children especially loved the squid ink risotto and the cod. They wanted to have another serving. 🩷

The service was good and welcoming and the setting is nice. The food really doesn't live up to bib gourmand level. It was fine but nothing stand out in any way and not particularly high quality. Croquettes were very fast food quality with only thing giving any flavour being the sriracha. Everything else was edible but completely forgettable.

I‘d never thought, I’ll say one day: please serve me a pickled martini again. Thanks to the barkeeper, the cocktails are fantastic! We had a wonderful time, the food was the delicious and service was great!
