Don’t spend time reading reviews, book and you will not regret it. Best food in Dublin. Vibe and Service are amazing, very friendly and polite. Chef menu option is a bit pricey but the quality worths it 100%. Coming back very soon ! Well done.

Just excellent. Service is super, everything was super fresh and incredibly delicious. Would recommend the chefs menu, but really can't see how you'd go wrong with anything.

Host is a tiny, lively restaurant with very high culinary standards in the heart of Ranelagh. The menu is short but well-balanced with small plates, lots of fresh pasta choices and grilled meat and fish. We were looked after, as if we were VIPs, by the well-informed and super-friendly staff! Early booking advised.
