I dined at The Dunmore over the Christmas period and even though the dining room was jam packed the atmosphere was still amazing and staff were very lovely, we had a girl looking after us and she was so friendly and attentive. The food was outstanding! I had the venison for mains and it was cooked to perfection and the apple and pecan tart for dessert was delicious. For drinks, the wine menu is very well priced. Good choice of affordable wines but also a good offering of higher priced wines too. The cocktails are very tasty…….my favorite espresso martini was perfect. I love The Dunmore and will be back again, I’m very happy to see a local, neighborhood restaurant doing so well, it’s well deserved.

I visited the Dunmore for a new years lunch, it was my first time and it definitely won’t be my last. Everything was perfect from start to finish. They have a great choice on the lunch menu, I went for the sandwich of the week which was incredible. The staff were so friendly and went above and beyond, adding to our experience. A great addition to rathmines, thank you for the lovely afternoon!

Lovely restaurant and decor, very friendly and attentive service who are not over-the-top, with a good menu selection. The fish pie was the big hit in our group! Some of our party ate there two nights over our few days, a testament to the place!

The experience was amazing from the time we walked in.... the staff were lovely quick and prompt... the food was absolutely delicious..so was the wine recommendations... we had the crab claws and prawn pil pil for starters, which was juicy and the bread to soak the juices. For mains, we had 10oz dry aged delmonico medium rare paired with a merlot, and it was perfectly cooked... for dessert, we had the sticky toffee pudding... was a perfect meal for New years Day... I was treating my mum to the dinner before she left back to India... and the experience was just memorable... I sure will be back with friends for the cocktails as the menu looked amazing...

The restaurant bar is beautiful and the service, both writers and a lady who seated us were really polite & professional that's the only reason we left 20% as service charge. I ordered salmon special and the outer layer was cooked, however, it was wide piece and the inside was raw. Some may love this cooked that way I prefer mine cooked inside too. I asked politely if could be cooked and it was taken away exactly 10 mins later & the same dish was returned, the plate was roasting so I assumed they put whole lot in oven or under lights. The inside was smeared in oil but still undercooked. It was 30 euro and of course I have no issue paying for something edible to that standard money suggests but sadly couldn't eat. It came with a deep fried rice ball coated in breadcrumbs which seemed odd too. As we had movie I asked for this to be taken off the bill. Really dissapointing.

The Dunmore is perfect as a neighborhood restaurant or a destination night out. It caters for one and all, close enough to the city center if you want to go out out. Living locally its the ideal spot for a cosy meal or a girls lunch (I did both over the holidays). The room is a knock out, stunning art collection, comfortable and luxurious interior making you feel like home from home. The cocktails were a hit with all the girls, especially cosmo on the rocks and the cherry baby. The staff could not do enough for us and the vibe was fun, friendly and so accommodating. Not forgetting the food, I had the quince terrine (mix of apple and pear who knew) with goats cheese, light enough to leave room for the mains but really satisfying and tasty. The main event was a filet steak cooked rare to perfection on a BBQ grill with a side salad and chips with a Chimichurri sauce mouth watering. The table shared a number of deserts 12 of us had 6 deserts and a spoon for everyone the winner was the chocolate fondant. Looking forward to my next trip to the Dunmore!

As a family we love the Dunmore. The food and service are excellent and the room is beautiful with a great atmosphere and a fab art collection. It is also lovely to sit in the front area for a cocktail or coffee. All in all a superb restaurant in Rathmines.

This is a spectacular gastro pub. It was great to see both sides of the place busy tonight - the restaurant and the bar. The service and food are 5/5. The decor is classy with unique art work surrounding the restaurant and bar. One consequence of a busy restaurant is the noise level rises, however I would view that as a positive. We've been to the Dunmore several times and each time, the quality has been excellent.
