What an absolutely amazing night. The space is very intimate, our service only had 12 people, which means you are truly in for an experience. The chefs cook in an open kitchen steps away from where you are sat and they encourage dialogue and question asking. It was truly special to watch dishes being prepared while being able to ask about their methods and have the staff gladly answer and engage. It feels a bit like you are at your friend's place talking to them while they cook away. I could go into the food for awhile, but I think it is good enough to say that each dish was delicious while being unique and memorable. When you spend that type of money you want not only something that tastes delicious, but also something that you know you will not have anywhere else. They definitely pulled that off. My wife said the Parmesan eel cone served was the best thing she has ever eaten. Truly a memorable night, and one we found worth the price. From the space to the intimate service to being able to being served by the chef, and the memorable food, it was all perfect.

An absolutely stunning experience. Nestled in the narrow back alleys of the Blackrock Market, it truly feels as if you stumble across a hidden gem. With a sleek, unassuming exterior, we immediately felt at home upon entering the restaurant. The interior is absolutely gorgeous & so well designed. It contains a tiny seating area, so you'll only be there with a handful of other diners, and the service runs like clockwork with each table receiving the same dish around the same time. Each dish was amazing, but the lobster, bread and pigeon dishes stood out to me the most. Certainly the best restaurant I have ever dined at in Dublin, while priced at a heavy premium, the food is certainly worth it, although for special occasions only. The service was amazing, with a very kind and knowledgeable team that do their best to make you feel accommodated. I particularly enjoyed how Chef Grey came around to the table multiple times to introduce dishes and just chat, a really unique experience all-round!

Fantastic dining experience. We had the lunch menu and non alcoholic drinks pairing. It was two vegetarian, two fish, one meat, dessert and petit fours. Everything was presented beautiful and tasted delicious. It's our first time going for a non alcoholic drink pairing and it did not disappoint, so much effort was put into each drink, they were complex and they all paired well with the food.The dining room is very small, there is only 5 tables and the kitchen is open and at the end of the room, you wouldn't even know the chefs were there, they worked quietly and meticulously. Damien Grey was friendly and interacted with all diners, bringing food to the tables as did the other chefs for the last course. With regards atmosphere,there is no music playing but its not needed and while the space is small there is enough room between the tables. The whole experience from start to finish was wholesome and relaxed. The lunch was great value for money.

Liath Restaurant has quietly become my family’s go-to spot in Dublin. Not because it’s flashy, but because it’s consistent, thoughtful, and genuinely comfortable to be in. They remember you. Not in a performative way, but in a calm, reassuring one, they remember what you like, what you don’t, and they don’t make a big deal out of it. The service is solid and confident without hovering, and the space itself feels calm and unforced, which is rare in fine dining. The food is where the care really shows. Almost everything is made from scratch, yes, even the salt, and you can taste the difference. Nothing feels rushed or lazy. Every dish feels considered, not precious, just done properly. You’re aware that someone paid attention here. It’s fine dining without the stiffness. No theatrics, no ego, just a place that takes its work seriously and lets the food do the talking.
