I love the cozy atmosphere of the cellar. The wine selection is excellent. The traditional meals are quite good, at a very fair price given its central location.

We were overall satisfied and will likely return again.

Looking for a last minute dinner, we found La Cave. This is a unique little restaurant with limited seating. One of the oldest buildings in Dublin and is a gem. This wine bar and the staff were wonderful. A must visit while in Dublin. Walking distance from hotel.

This is a gem of a restaurant. Very cosy with lovely atmosphere. We all had the same main course which was simply delicous. The waiter couldn’t have been more charming and polite. The problem came with one of the starters ordered. Avocado mousse with prawn cocktail and smoked salmon. We noticed before eating it that the avacado mousse was missing and questioned the waitress about it…her reply was simply yes it is missing. It was replaced by 2 small slices of avacdo. We then realised the smoked salmon was also missing …..the answer to that was yes, sorry, I’ll knock a couple of euros off the bill. We made it clear we didn’t really think that was enough since we’d not have ordered the dish had it simply been prawn cocktail. She told us she couldn’t reduce the price anymore and we ought not to have eaten the prawns if we weren’t happy!! We would have returned to this restaurant but felt the customer service was not good at all…in fact I’d call this waitress ‘rude’. Such a shame .

We were celebrating a birthday in la cave restaurant and had the most wonderful dining experience. The food was excellent we had goats cheese which was amazing and a great ravioli. Our waiter long was so helpful with his food and wine recommendations. The decor is fantastic and the ambience was relaxed. We highly recommend it and can’t wait to go back
