Ireland's most iconic drawing room looks out on the only garden grand enough to match: the glorious St. Stephen's Green. The Lord Mayor's Lounge is the perfect back drop for a special day in Dublin. A room sparkling with light; it is a welcoming setting for our celebratory theatre of that most civilised ritual: the art of Afternoon Tea. The elements have remained unchanged over the centuries: a fragrant pot of tea, a succession of sweets and delicate sandwiches, fine china, fresh flowers and delighted laughter. This time is all about enjoying the lovely things in life, an experience designed to be shared and savoured. Time slows down and the art of conversation is revived.From December 1st, our wonderful Lounge will convert to a casual dining venue from 7.30pm daily, allowing our guests to experience an exquisite food offering in our iconic setting.

We recently visited Pink Restaurant. The atmosphere was brilliant, and the food was good. However, the service was very slow, with nearly an hour wait for our food. Despite this, we were still asked to leave at the scheduled time. Overall, a mixed experience.

When making reservation (from USA) I thought that at 1:00pm I was making a lunch reservation. Only to find they only do afternoon tea on Sat and Sun. They did give us lunch but told us that we’d need to order one afternoon tea since it’s their policy! So an extra unnecessary cost. Not impressed by that, the very least it should say that on open Table. Staff were nice and apologized for the policy!
