3 modern european places in Dublin we have eaten in, sorted by editor score. All cuisines in Dublin | Modern European across every city.
Modern European cooking gives Dublin's mid-tier rooms their freedom, drawing on whatever the season and the wine list suggest rather than a single national tradition. Lottie's and Host in Ranelagh lead the neighbourhood end of the style, while Richmond in Portobello brings the same approach to a small, ingredient-led room.
Lottie's on Rathgar Road in Rathmines, Dublin, a Michelin Bib Gourmand neighbourhood brasserie holding the south-side family Sunday since 2023.
OrderA wood-fired pizza to share and whatever fish is over the fire that night.
TipBook the back garden room for two. Sunday from 12:30 fills with prams; Tuesday is the room at its quietest.
Richmond on Richmond Street South in Dublin's Portobello, a Bib Gourmand neighbourhood brasserie running modern European on Irish produce since 2017.
OrderThe set lunch at €25 for two courses; whatever fish is on the daily board for dinner.
TipTuesday to Saturday only; Sunday brunch is the bookings-required day. Closed Mondays.
Host on Ranelagh Village in Dublin 6 is a small open-kitchen room of Mediterranean small plates, hand-rolled pasta and charcoal-grilled cuts.
OrderA round of small plates, a hand-rolled pasta off the daily menu and a charcoal-grilled steak to share.
TipCommunal seating; dinner Wednesday to Sunday with weekend lunch added. Bookings open sixty days out.
