Reviews
The meal began with four snacks and immediately set a very high bar. The crispy chicken skin sandwich and the prawn beignet were absolute standouts and had us hooked from the first bites. Each course that followed was executed with precision and confidence. The scallops in the starter courses were cooked perfectly with beautiful balance and restraint. For the mains, the lamb and the monkfish were both outstanding and it was genuinely difficult to choose a favorite, which says everything about the consistency of the kitchen.
Service was incredible from start to finish. The staff were extremely knowledgeable without ever feeling formal or rehearsed, and the sommelier was friendly, engaging, and clearly passionate about the pairings, which complemented the food beautifully. One of our favorite parts of the evening was sitting at the counter and watching the chefs in action. Being able to see the teamwork up close and even speak with some of them added a personal and memorable layer to the experience.
We were also celebrating a birthday and the lit birthday candle was a thoughtful and appreciated touch. Overall, D’Olier delivers an extraordinary Michelin starred dining experience without the uptight white glove feel. It is refined, warm, and focused on great food and hospitality. Highly recommend for anyone looking for an unforgettable dinner in Dublin.
A full vegetarian menu is rare and very appreciated. Everything was delicious with the English menu and main fish dish being the highlights. The team is very accommodating and had lovely recommendations on the non alcoholic cocktails (a must).
The staff was incredibly warm and engaging, making the entire evening feel special. We’ll definitely be returning!
4 snacks:
1-Chicken & Stuffing Sandwich (kind of French pâté) with the chicken skin as bread. MY FAVOURITE snack here!
2-Venison Tartare with Pickled Onion & Rosemary. The balance of flavours was unbelievable.
3-Prawn Beignet topped with Fennel and Marie Rose. This was good but a bit disappointing and not on the same level as the other snacks.
4-Foie Gras Custard (similar to a spread) with a Pineapple gel accompanied by buttery English Muffin.
The combination of the bread and the custard created some sort of cheesy flavour and it was to die for!
As for the drinks we got a delicious and flavourful sparkling Pine drink which was light and refreshing & Sorrel Champagne.
Then we had 2 starters:
1-Scallop with Black Pudding underneath and Padron Pepper and an almond rayu if I didn’t mishear.
This was cooked to perfection and was superbly paired with the Mai Tai.
2-Seeded Pretzel (was unreal) with a Smoked Gubbeen “Obatzda” spread.
The pretzel was OMG so good I can eat 10 of those and daily! The Gubbeen spread was nice however a bit too cheesy and overpowering and it feels like there is less work on this dish compared to the previous one.
As for the drinks we got white wine and a Quince Bay Leaf Mai Tai (unexpectedly nice on the palate and a good cleanser after the spread).
Here comes the mains:
1-BBQ Monkfish with Jerusalem Artichoke and charred Leek accompanied by a Peppercorn sauce.
The fish was cooked to perfection and the sauce OMG! The whole dish worked perfectly together! This was my favourite main in here hands down to the execution and the details put by the chef!
This was paired with an Oxidised Pear Jerusalem artichoke martini (too sweet and did not go well with a white fish in my opinion and the hazelnut oil was fancy and smelled nice however this was unnecessary). The white wine was unreal, Or Blanc from Savoie region, it is semi-dry has a very deep flavour which paired superbly well with the fish.
2-Squab, Chanterelle, Truffle, Squash purée and a fondant potato.
The meat was cooked to perfection as well. Although the truffle was part of the dish we didn’t tasted at all which was a bit disappointing since it’s just here to sound great and fancy but doesn’t bring anything to the dish. The overall dish was really good though.
This came with a red wine and a Cherry & Beetroot Manhattan which was less sweet and was a very good surprise when paired with the squab. And hands down to the amarena cherry you can eat at the end of the drink by picking up the rosemary branch!
We got a snack after the mains a Ballylisk New York Roll with Truffle.
Too bad the puff pastry was not crunchy.
Here comes the desserts:
1-Orange Campari sorbet with White Chocolate pudding. It was good but not a wahou type of feeling.
2-Crunchy Pear with Pine Nut cake, Saffron Tamarind caramelised ice cream/sorbet & a lime jus.
3-Pineapple Pate de Fruit covered with Mint and Szechuan pepper.
Choux Bun Tobacco with a Whiskey dark chocolate ganache.
Black Forest Gateaux Bonbon.
The pate de fruit was not to my taste, the pineapple was covered by the peppercorns it was a great idea however it was too overpowering.
The Chou with the ganache was top notch!
The dark chocolate Black Forest was yum!
The last drinks were a Porto from the north of Portugal & a Tepache pineapple skin infused-with winter spices (sweet and semi heavy in taste type of drink loved it!).
Overall best Michelin restaurant we’ve had although the snacks were coming in way too fast at the beginning, the timing of the remaining courses were slower which left us time to fully appreciate the meal.
The ambiance started to become a bit more cosy and they started to dim the lights only from 7pm.
The service was excellent and one of our waitress Lola was very kind & took the time to answer all of our questions!
One small disappointment the desserts were not as elevated as the other courses.
And your hair will smell like food after dinner.
Just an amazing meal. Service was wonderful.
D’Olier…if you ever get a call from the US saying someone has requested their last meal from D’Olier, you’ll know it’s me! 😉
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
Chefs bring the dishes to the table most of the time, but the lovely staff just made the whole experience so much better.
