Michelin Guide 2020: The Greenhouse, Dublin

"Chic and intimate, this modern yet elegant dining room sits discreetly on centrally located Dawson Street, with closely set linen-laid tables, smoked mirrors and a refreshingly relaxed atmosphere; while trams rumble past outside, the focus stays firmly on the plate and service is friendly, personable and highly attentive, with chefs even nodding hello as you’re greeted at the door. Head Chef Mickael Viljanen often presents the main courses himself and conveys clear passion, leading a dynamic kitchen whose accomplished, classically based yet creative cooking offers a 4- or 6-course set menu. Top-class French and Irish ingredients are treated with precision and an à la minute approach, yielding stunning sauces and intense, layered flavors, including a typically Finnish sweet/acid contrast in a signature foie gras royale with Granny Smith apple, walnut and smoked eel. Subtle Asian influences appear in dishes like steamed turbot with roasted yeast tapioca, maitake mushrooms, soy marmalade, truffle sauce and Château Chalon. Standouts noted by the Inspectors include lobster cooked in kari gosse with peas, redcurrants and lobster head sabayon, and milk-fed Lozère lamb saddle and shoulder cooked in kidney fat with asparagus, peas, morels, wild garlic and savoury jus gras. Ever evolving, with a recent kitchen refit and a room refresh planned, the restaurant’s maturity was recognized with the award of Two Michelin Stars in 2020." - The MICHELIN Guide UK Editorial Team

We had a great time at dinner here. The food was fabulous and the wine waiting quite classic but with a few twists and going well with the food. As other reviews mention, come here to enjoy your evening, not if you have plans afterwards. Service can be slightly slow, but we didn’t mind as it allowed us to have a break between courses and have a nice chat. Our table was very much divided on which dish we preferred which speaks to the quality of the dishes throughout the evening. I would definitely recommend a visit!

Everyone should go at least once time to meet! I loved the place, a little small but very well organized and clean! The service was excellent at all times, polite staff and always explained each dish, and also asked if everything was ok before removing the dish from the table, asked if we like the dish. About the meal I loved every detail, the mix and match of flavors was wonderful! I tried new things and also what I already knew I saw in a new way. It is very worth going and know and taste these dishes of wonderful quality.

Food was quite good. Tasting menu of 6 courses (115€) was very good, there was one course that missed the mark for me but otherwise the presentation and taste was exceptional. Oddly enough the real standout dishes for me were game and red meat, rather than the seafood which the menu clearly made a point of presenting. Overall though a great meal. The staff were extremely friendly and pleasant, we had an earlier reservation so the place certainly wasn’t off the walls busy but by the time we left it was certainly starting to pickup. As a final note I will say I think the presentation on these dishes is some of the best in Ireland, and there is a fantastic wine list.

My wife and I dined at The Greenhouse for a special occasion. Each and every aspect of our experience was perfect. We opted for the larger, six course tasting menu, and every dish was outstanding. The food was elegantly presented and absolutely delicious. The service was top notch as well. If you have one night to have dinner in Dublin, this is the place to go!

Great fine food. Everything was prepared skillfully, with beautiful presentation. The pacing was almost perfect, with only a long wait before the meat. Service was impeccable, but it was too formal for my taste; it's hard to relax when the staff is stiff.

Was expecting to be blown away but really wasn't. As it is two Michelin starred I was expecting great things but this would not have two stars if it was in London. Several of the dishes were confused with flavour and texture and didn't work well. There are two set menu options and we went for the larger menu with wine pairing - at over €600 it was eye wateringly expensive. I have no problem paying a lot of money for incredible food but this didn't feel good value for money. There were some stand dishes including the turbot gnocchi that came as a side with the turbot dish. The space doesn't have a lot of atmosphere as the room is split into several different levels and spaces so we could hear other diners but couldn't see them. Wouldn't say it is worth the money for the experience you get

Clean and modern restaurant. Had the 4 course meal with a party of 5. Fantastic food and enjoyed all of it. There was a slight muckup when they served a vegetarian cavier and someone that doesn't take beef, tartar. We did inform them before ordering, but i believe it didn't get passed to all the staff that was serving us. However they quickly sorted it out and the rest of the dinner was a delight. The staff were very friendly and I would love to come back. I am not usually a fan of foie gras, but their version was fantastic. Loved it, so creamy and full of flavour and balanced. Their lamb dish as well was very different, where we got lamb as well as brioche bread filled with lamb. It was very different having an additional bread piece to soak up the juices and sauce. Their chocolate dessert is probably the best dessert is probably the best I have ever had, and will be forever disappointed in future desserts that I eat.

Everything was unbelievable start to finish. Staff were so attentive, food was brilliant and full of flavour. Our sommelier Paul was so knowledgeable and very friendly. Amazing night. We got the tasting menu, highly recommend.
