Note Dublin

23 Dublin Restaurants to Visit in 2026 | Condé Nast Traveler

"Most evenings, Note thrums with a pleasing bustle as people drop in for an after-work Negroni and snack at the bar, or something more substantial from the bistro-style menu served in the wedge-shaped dining room. With its short but succinct menu, it includes plenty of crowd-pleasing classics with a twist such as fried potato bread with caramelized onion and anchovy and the must-order beef rib with béarniase for two, followed by a chocolate and coffee cremeux with buckwheat ice cream. The carefully put-together wine list features a cherry-picked roster of natural and low-intervention wines and grower Champagnes from small producers, as well as beers and a tight line-up of 12 classic cocktails, including two non-alcoholic options. Despite being pretty much in the center of the city, it still manages to retain a casual neighborhood feel. It’s also one of the few standout restaurants that opens for dinner on Mondays—worth noting if you are in town for a long weekend." - Aoife O'Riordain

The 38 Best Restaurants in Dublin, Ireland | Eater

"A Friday or Saturday lunch at this wine bar is one of the true joys of Dublin dining; options like mussels escabeche tartine and salted cod with butter beans are tasty, affordable, and presented in an utterly chic room. A midday meal will have you planning a return visit in the evening to pair Essa Fakhry’s small plates with the impressive low-intervention wine list. Dinner is pricier, but the markup on the higher-end wine bottles is relatively modest. Must-try dish: The crab crumpet with sea urchin has become a signature dish." - Corinna Hardgrave

"There’s a subtle retro touch to this enjoyable wine bar turned bistro. The cooking is modern yet unfussy and unpretentious, so don’t be surprised to find the likes of pork chops or date and toffee pudding on the menu. Bold, distinct flavours abound in dishes where the kitchen’s Irish influences often shine through. A charming team run the restaurant with a relaxed efficiency, and are always happy to recommend wines from their largely natural and organic selection." - Michelin Inspector
