Restaurants near National Museum of Ireland Natural History

Ver enjoyable. All predictably lovely. We had a great ivy breakfast and coffee. The table for three could be a tad bigger. Difficult to fit everything on it. Otherwise no complaints

Always came for previous years for drinks before food somewhere else and decided to come for food this year, great spot. Only bad point was the server with the beard and white shirt was very rude to us upon arriving at our table. He should learn the rule of think before you speak. Other than that it was amazing and we'll see you next year. Rob

Everything about our experience was very good. We both chose the Christmas menu, and had steak, steak was a little under cooked for medium/well IMO. But the €8 surcharge and was served with chips and a side salad, seemed a little bit expensive - would have been nicer to have some veg and potatoes.

Such a lovely welcome with no delay to a lovely table in the conservatory at the front of the restaurant. The ambience was so Christmassy & really festive, making it a very magical experience. Plenty of room with a nice buzzy atmosphere & yet not noisy. The service was quick yet personable & everyone was very pleasant & professional. The food was sublime. Beautifully presented & perfect portion size. I highly recommend the cod! The wine - Pinot, was crisp & perfectly chilled. Had a really lovely night & totally enjoyed the food, drink, service & very lovely staff. Looking forward to my next visit. Thank you all.

The Festive Lunch Menu at e55 was well thought & varied. Our party of 4 enjoyed the lunch very much. We had 2 bottles of wine. At our spend level I was disappointed when we were put on notice to vacate our table & presented with our bill. Our sitting was at 1pm & at 3.15pm when I was still drinking my coffee we vacated our table as requested. We were asked if we would like a table downstairs in the bar to complete our outing but the moment had passed and we said our goodbyes. It is a very large restaurant & I did not see a line of guests waiting to take our table.
