    My favourite spot in Dublin. Excellent food in a relaxed atmosphere. The peach/nectarine and burrata is insanely good. The tasting menu lets you try most of the menu and will leave you full. Tough to get a booking here for good reason!

    Every mouthful at HOST is delicious. The food is of a very high quality and the service is attentive and professional. It is quite a noisy restaurant (certainly at weekends) but it all adds to the buzzy atmosphere.

    Food is sensational. We sat on high stools looking out window, could’ve been more comfortable…the whole vibe is relaxed and cool, brilliant wine menu and for the price, it is great value as the food is great .I did though find the waitress and waiter serving us indifferent and lacking warmth, which was a shame, but other than that it was really great.

    Really disappointed, we waited on the cancellation list and got an early sitting at 5.15 and opted for the chef’s menu which there clearly was not enough time to complete before the next booking. Rushed throughout and when we ordered a bottle of wine we were told that we would have to drink it quickly. The dessert came with a cork and a 10 minute warning. Hugely disappointing for a venue we had such high expectations for.

    Had a lovely meal in Host but would say the mains need to come with something a rib eye at €50 comes with literally a steak on a plate and nothing else. They also need to get in some non alcoholic options.

    Yet another fantastic experience at Host! One of my favourite spots in Dublin. We had with Chef’s menu with the Piri Chicken and a delicious bottle of San Lorenzo Montepulciano. Service was top notch and we enjoyed sitting at the counter watching the chefs hard at work. We will be back soon!
