The story

Note Dublin – Modern Cuisine Bistro & Wine Bar, Michelin Recommended

Note

On a quiet stretch of Fenian Street, Note has carved out a reputation as one of Dublin’s most compelling dining rooms. It describes itself as a new typology of bistro and wine bar, and the description fits: this is a place driven by a fierce determination for quality in food, drink and service, all presented in a low-key, humble environment that prioritises community and connection.

The kitchen works in modern European style, with an ever-changing menu that champions local producers. Dishes are unfussy and unpretentious, yet the flavours are bold and distinct. Irish influences often shine through, whether in a simple pork chop or a classic date and toffee pudding. The Michelin Guide has taken note, awarding the restaurant a Recommended status and praising the “charming team” who run the room with relaxed efficiency.

The wine list is a considered selection of natural and organic bottles, with over sixty choices and a strong focus on grower champagnes. Classic and in-house cocktails, beers and non-alcoholic options are also available. The atmosphere is relaxed yet refined, with counter dining, outdoor seating and private party options available.

Note serves dinner Tuesday to Saturday and lunch on Friday and Saturday. The press has been enthusiastic: The Times calls it “one of Dublin’s best dining rooms,” while Lonely Planet notes that “some of the most creative cooking in Dublin is happening at Note.” It is modern cuisine at its most accessible and satisfying.
