Restaurants near National Library of Ireland

We had our table booked for 7.15 but got there 10 minutes early, and they were able to seat us early, which was great. The service was great, and our waiter was particularly so, unfortunately, I didn't get his name. The food was lovely and each course came out on time on a very busy valentines evening.

We absolutely loved it. The room is beautiful, the service impeccable, food superb, ambience romantic and fairly priced. We loved it all.

Bouef & Coq – A Perfectly Balanced Dining Experience My girlfriend and I had the pleasure of dining at Bouef & Coq today, and from start to finish, it was an exceptional experience. The ambiance was warm and inviting, with a stylish yet relaxed atmosphere that made for the perfect date night setting. We started with two expertly crafted cocktails, which set the tone for the evening. The mixology here is on point—balanced flavors, refreshing, and made with quality ingredients. For starters, we opted for the calamari, which was lightly crispy on the outside while remaining tender inside, paired with a flavorful dipping sauce that complemented it beautifully. For the main course, we shared the selection of steak cuts, and it was nothing short of perfection. Each cut was cooked exactly to our preference, showcasing the quality of the meat and the skill of the kitchen. The variety allowed us to appreciate different textures and flavors, making every bite a delight. The bottle of wine we chose paired seamlessly with the meal, enhancing the richness of the steak without overpowering it. Service was attentive yet unobtrusive, with staff who were knowledgeable about the menu and happy to offer recommendations. The pacing of the meal was just right, allowing us to fully enjoy each course without feeling rushed. Overall, Bouef & Coq delivered a fantastic dining experience that struck the perfect balance between quality food, great service, and an inviting atmosphere. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or just in the mood for a top-tier steak, this place is well worth a visit. We’ll definitely be back!
