A glasshouse restaurant, where the weather is our wallpaper. We serve breakfast and dinner 7 days a week. We do lunch on weekdays and brunch at the weekend.




Our New York – Italian menu is simple and delicious. Meats, fish, vegetables, fruits, herbs and dairy delivered daily by local suppliers. The restaurant vibe changes from a laid back sunrise through a buzzing sunset. A view like no other in Dublin, cityscape to countryside. No fuss, no formality, book a table and enjoy.




Sophie’s Bar is at the very heart of our rooftop restaurant. Pull up a stool and get comfortable at any time, day or night to take in the incredible views of the Dublin skyline while our amazing team of bartenders create a world-class cocktail for you.




Head out to our Rooftop Terrace to soak up the sun when it's hot, or wrap up in blankets under our heaters when it’s not.

    Very nice. Lovely staff. Excellent good. Only downside is the draught pints are poor. Probably not enough people drinking them. Stick to bottles.
    Sophie's @ The Dean DublinResponded 1 day ago
    Hi Rob, Thank you for your feedback! We're thrilled you enjoyed our food and found our staff lovely—it means a lot to us. We’re sorry to hear the draught pints didn’t meet expectations. Your comment about demand is insightful, and we’ll take a closer look to ensure our draughts are always fresh. We hope to see you again soon, and feel free to let us know your favorite bottled option! Best, The Sophies team

    Great for a group. Buzzy and good cocktails. Our waitress was so kind and professional - she was lovely. Food was okay - the gnocchi was not very flavourful.

    Amazing experience! Staff very nice, fast service and the food was absolutely amazing. The view is stunning what gives the restaurant a good atsmophere along the music on the background. Very full at the time I was there so a bit noisy. Strongly recommend it.

    Hi. I booked a lunch online and it was for my sister's birthday. When we went to order, we were informed there's only brunch on Sundays. Also, we then decided we'd both like pizzas. However, there were no pizzas being served that Sunday. Also, it was cold and we both had to keep our coats on. It was disappointing
    Sophie's @ The Dean DublinResponded 6 days ago
    Hi Michelle, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. I’m truly sorry to hear that your experience didn’t meet your expectations, especially on such a special occasion as your sister’s birthday. We sincerely apologize for any miscommunication regarding our Sunday brunch menu and the unavailability of pizzas that day. We understand how disappointing it must have been, and we’ll review our online booking process and menu descriptions to ensure guests have clear information moving forward. Additionally, I’m sorry to hear about the temperature in the restaurant. We will investigate this matter to ensure our space remains comfortable for all guests. We greatly appreciate your feedback, as it helps us improve. Warm regards, The Sophies team

    Had the prawns and they were fine, then had the €44 fillet steak and it was cold, completely cold. The sauce which was poured on top was even cold. They hadn't even bothered to warm the plate. Service was good up to about 10.00pm and then more or less disappeared.
    Sophie's @ The Dean DublinResponded on 6 January 2025
    Hi Paul, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re very sorry to hear about your disappointing experience with the fillet steak. Serving a dish cold, especially at that price point, is unacceptable, and we sincerely apologize. The lack of a warm plate and cold sauce further falls short of the standards we aim to deliver. We’re glad to hear the service started off well, but it’s disappointing that it diminished later in the evening. Your comments have been shared with our kitchen and service teams to ensure these issues are addressed and improvements are made. We truly value your feedback and would love the opportunity to make things right. If you’re willing to give us another chance, we’re confident we can deliver a much better experience. Best, The Sophies team

    Sophie’s is always a lovely place for dinner or drinks. Would highly recommend. However, the cocktails were quite flat and strong. Everything else was amazing!
    Sophie's @ The Dean DublinResponded on 6 January 2025
    Hi Holly, Thank you for your kind words and recommendation! We’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed your time at Sophie’s and that everything else met your expectations. We’re sorry to hear the cocktails didn’t quite hit the mark this time. Your feedback is greatly appreciated, and we’ll pass it along to our bar team to ensure we’re delivering perfectly balanced drinks that enhance the experience. We look forward to welcoming you back again soon for another lovely evening. Thank you for sharing your thoughts! Best, The Sophies team

    Service was average at best, we waited 40/45 minutes for our main courses from having our starters and not one staff member came near us. When the food finally came, it was warm which when you waited that long for food is a bit disappointing. Overall disappointed as was really looking forward to going.
    Sophie's @ The Dean DublinResponded on 6 January 2025
    Hi Lucy, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re truly sorry to hear about your disappointing experience. Waiting 40-45 minutes for your main courses without any check-ins from our staff is unacceptable, and we sincerely apologize for the delay and lack of attentiveness. Additionally, it’s disappointing that your food arrived only warm after such a wait. This falls short of the high standards we strive to provide to our guests. We deeply regret that your experience did not live up to your expectations, especially when you were looking forward to dining with us. Please know that your feedback has been shared with our team, and we’ll take steps to address these issues to ensure a better experience for our guests in the future. Best, The Sophies team
