Dalkey (/ˈdɔːkiː/; Irish: Deilginis, meaning "thorn island") is one of the most affluent suburbs of Dublin, and a seaside resort southeast of the city, and the town of Dun Laoghaire, in Ireland. It was founded as a Viking settlement and became an active port during the Middle Ages. According to chronicler John Clyn (c.1286–c.1349), it was one of the ports through which the plague entered Ireland in the mid-14th century. In modern times, Dalkey has become a seaside suburb that attracts some tourist visitors. It has been home to writers and celebrities including Jane Emily Herbert, Maeve Binchy, Hugh Leonard, Bono, Van Morrison and Enya. The village and broader area lie within the jurisdiction of Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council.

We found this place because we're staying at Fitzpatrick Castle and was looking for some good food. We found it! The food was top notch and the service was friendly and attentive without being invasive. The steak was cooked perfectly and the warm goat cheese salad was absolutely delicious. Do your self a favor and have a pint or two, craic, and wonderful food in this beautiful pub.

I hadn't been to Bistro Le Monde for a while, so it was time I had a return visit! The food and service were as excellent as they had been before.This time we had been to the cinema nearby and were in time for the early bird menu which finished at 7.30 p.m. - good value at â¬21.95 for two courses. We shared a bottle of Sauvignon Blanc @ â¬24. I had the garlic prawns for starters and hake to follow, while my friend had their Le Monde salad to start, followed by the beef Bourguignonne. We both enjoyed our meals and had time to get the Dart to our respective homes.Again I was surprized that the restaurant was not packed - the food is so well presented and delicious. We discussed what improvements could be made to entice more people in and my friend said she would consult another friend for ideas!Hi Margo37, Thank you so much for taking the time to leave this review. We are delighted you enjoyed your meal with us. We take pride in only serving the best! Thank you for your kind words. We hope to see you again soon, Kind regards,Bistro Le Monde

8A Brasserie offers a quality dining experience at a very reasonable prices. The seating is comfortable, providing space and light to eat and talk without any background noise other than other human voices which is a pleasure in itself. Service is attentive and knowledgeable with good advice on wine recommendation for dishes selected. The menu is imaginative with attention to locally sourced ingredients and variety of choice. A 2 course meal for 4 adults with wine and coffees came to Eur 168. Irish and English understood and spoken, which is rare in South County Dublin

Dublin's oldest restaurant housed in a converted Coachhouse & stables offering local, fresh cuisine from Vintage Afternoon tea, evening dinner and also lunch at the weekends. Tucked away in Stillorgan, you will be astounded by the gorgeous gardens and won

I had the misfortune of encountering Julie Cox, the owner of this restaurant, on my visit to this establishment last Friday evening. After making a reservation for my elderly mother and my brother we arrived on time to an empty restaurant. We proceeded to walk into the coach house and stood at the doorway looking out into the garden.At this point Julie Cox ran down to us and started shouting at us âNO! YOU CANNOT COME OUT HERE! So much for a warm and friendly welcome then? At this point she extended both arms and shoved us, into the restaurant from the doorway reiterating that We CANNOT go out into the garden. I was absolutely appalled that someone would treat paying customers in this manner, let alone an elderly lady! At this point I said to her I have never in my life experienced such a terrible attitude, rudeness and lack of human respect. Without responding, Julie Cox just turned on her heels and just walked away from us leaving her astounded staff members to try and explain her despicable behaviour. I left angry: eye-gougingly, bone-crunchingly, teeth-grindingly angry. How bloody dare someone treat people in that manner. We have visited this restaurant on different occasions in the past and had good experiences. I have even recommended it to colleagues as a venue for large groups. I will never do this again, and I will ensure that this experience will be spread far and wide.In the end we went on to a fabulous restaurant nearby and had a wonderful experience. Ms Julie Cox needs to be reminded that stories of this type of behaviour will travel, there are so many other beautiful options in this area. If you have a wedding the following day and it puts you in such a terrible state of severe agitation, even with an empty restaurant, my suggestion is to close the establishment to save you the potential of such stress Ms Cox.There are several words I can drum up to describe the treatment that we received at Beaufield Mews, but let me limit it one: repulsive. No, wait, remembering the owner physically shoving us into the restaurant, I would add: offensive. I will never again cross the threshold of this establishment; you have lost 3 regular customers.Hi Orla Doyle, I am sorry to hear this but there are always two sides to every story. One important fact that seems to be missing from your review .... I was in the middle of serving a wedding for 120 guests and you walked past the top table, bride & groom and their guests; when I kindly said this was a private party (I am a bit over protective of a wedding couple's privacy, I have to admit), you were very taken aback. As for the shoving, I am a slight 5'3 (on a good day), so I wasn't going to take on 3 of you!
