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.

    The place is lovely, I booked it there because the concept is lovely but I'm not to happy with the service because I was in the bar waiting for my table and I ordered to one of the bartender (from Spain) some drinks and his answer was " give me 10 mins" and after that he wasn't doing anything at all, so I ordered with another guy so kind. The food was good and we didn't wait for them too much time.

    I went in afternoon on recommendation of few my friends. They went in night. But I went afternoon. 1) There was not many options for the lunch. 2) We ordered the following: Seabass: was not that great. Especially the sauce was let down. It seems that it was made from morning's baked bean. The overall flavour didn't come together well. The fish was okay. I would expect the fish's skin to be slightly crispy; it wasn't. I'm not sure how fresh was the fish. It was bit dry. Vegetable Rigatoni: This was major disappointment. There something in the dish that was bitter in taste. Not sure if it is the standard. The artichokes were very chewy. Overall, below average. Margherita Pizza: Same goes for pizza. Fries: This was actually good. Above average and no complains. Brownie with Ice Cream: Again this was good. As you see, the sides and dessert were above average, pizza average. But the main courses were big let down. I have not tried this place at night, may be the experience is better. But I would like to avoid this place at noon. I mean, your local bar or pub would server much better main courses than this. It was no worth the hype.

    We just got our cocktail 1 minute and the food was already there! I didn't like the view because the windows were dirty. We wanted to order some dessert but they offered the bill instead.

    The food and service was second to none, we dined on the terrace and it was amazing the heaters are a life safer. The wait time for the food is good you get to enjoy your drink from the bar first and then your treated to some of the best food around

    Sophie’s was nice, service pleasant . Slightly noisy on a Saturday afternoon . Check bill before paying. Water should be left on each table, very unfair on servers, being asked to fill up glasses numerous times.Pizzas nice and very filling

    Enjoyed a fabulous evening out at Sophie’s thank you! Service was attentive without being overbearing. Lovely waiting and bar staff. Super friendly and professional. Older kids loved the pizzas and skinny chips. Steak was tender but lacking a bit of seasoning. Cooked as ordered and enjoyed. Greens were fresh and not microwaved - thank God, so many high end places do this with mash and veg, drives me nuts. Chicken Nduja was so so tasty. Would go back for this! Not a huge piece of chicken but plenty to fill me. Pasta Al dente - perfect Usual high price for soft drinks and cocktails etc but great views over the Dublin rooftops Looking forward to a repeat visit!

    I had booked Outdoor for my birthday, but they said they didn’t get that on the system, and it was an opentable mistake! They didn’t even try to get us a table outside, it kind of ruined my day

    Sophie's @ The Dean DublinResponded on 21 May 2023Hi there, disappointing to read your review seeing as how we actually showed you it didn't register outside on our system and you booked the table online yourself so no staff here had any input into the seating choice, only you did. We also sent you over a complimentary drink and let your party sit at the table well over your allotted 2 hour time slot to make up for an error that wasn't our fault. Regards, The Sophie's MGMT
