                                              I found an amazing restaurant in Dublin City Center, right next to Dublin Castle. The food was fantastic, beef carpaccio, grilled prawns & Chateaubriand highly recommended. The quality of the products consistently exceeds my expectations. Their customer service is exceptional, 5-star service by Samu, Marko, and Irina. We will definitely be back!

                                              We had not realised upon booking that Fawn was a hotel restaurant. And it did indeed look like one. We were one of two tables at 21.00 on a Saturday evening in Dublin! However, the food and the service made up for the lack of atmosphere. The squid ink spaghetti with Dublin bay prawns were excellent and perfectly cooked. Al dente, slightly citrusy and the prawns were cooked to perfection. My daughter said that she could eat the butternut squash pasta every day for the rest of her life and my husband was impressed with his chicken dish. Desserts were just as delicious.i recommend the carrot and chai pudding. Service was really courteous and friendly, a big plus. All in all, if you are looking for delicate and flavoursome food with attentive service, and you are not fussed about a lively atmosphere or a restaurant with character, Fawn is for you. The same chef in a more traditional restaurant would be a massive hit.
