Description

There’s a subtle retro touch to this enjoyable wine bar turned bistro. The daily changing menu offers modern, unpretentious cooking with bold, distinct flavours, in dishes that often look to the Mediterranean for inspiration – such as pressed lamb with beetroot and a terrific, umami-packed bagna cauda. A charming team run the restaurant with a relaxed touch, and are always happy to recommend wines from their largely natural and organic selection. The long counter is the best place to sit if you'd like to engage with the team.

Review summary

Note offers modern cuisine on Fenian Street, Dublin. Food quality is polarized: while creative dishes, fresh salads, and excellent wine are praised, others report skimpy portions (e.g., little meat in Ragu) and bland or poorly executed items like mackerel toast and venison tartare. Service is generally friendly and knowledgeable, though staff appear stressed during peak times. The atmosphere is calm and peaceful, ideal for dates, but can become uncomfortably hot in summer. Despite positive experiences, many guests feel the value is poor, citing high prices relative to portion sizes and inconsistent execution.

Best for

Suitable for diners prioritizing ambiance and wine over portion size and strict value for money.
