U. M.

The food, service and cocktails were excellent, best steak I've had in Dublin thanks to the awesome chef Brian. Will definitely be back. I would highly recommend the Sussex Restaurant for any event.

O. S.

Straightforward, well-priced, conventional lunch option in a lovely upstairs room of a pub. Simple and unpretentious menu - burgers, prawn linguine, superfood salad. Service is unassuming and prompt. Beers are reasonably priced. Missing a bit of care for the fifth star - my burger was a bit dry, for example. Overall a safe and dependable choice but not terribly exciting.

D. C.

Fantastic night catching up with 2 pals. V helpful waitress named Jennifer, service was excellent. All Covid guidelines followed so felt safe. Food was very good and good value for money. Impressive wine list, pre dinner drinks on the street below prior to entry added a nice fun intro to the evening too.

D. M.

Really impressed with the Sussex. The staff are friendly, courteous and on the ball. Particular mention to the chef Brian who cooked us an unbelievably tasty ribeye steak that I'm still drooling over!

M. M.

Amazing simple and delicious food. Nice portion sizes. Mussels were brilliant. Service was excellent and extremely helpful. Highly recommend the place for a nice dinner date or smaller groups.

C. M.

Great restaurant. Lovely friendly staff and delicious food. Would recommend

J. B.

Had a really good staff night here last Saturday evening. I would highly recommend this restaurant

J. S.

Great steak. Visited 4 well-known steak houses in Dublin on my 5 day trip, and this place served the best seared rare steak. Bread was good too. Reasonable portion. Dessert was meh. Given we went to this restaurant for the steaks, this is not a deal breaker. Would come back again in future trips.

M. T. B.

Great food and fantastic service. Got the steak absolutely delicious !!!

C. L.

Great food , great service. Would recommend to a friend.

B.

Really loved the restaurant upstairs. Felt very posh but wasn't too overpriced. The service was nice. The food and drinks were great. My only complaint was where we were seated. Our table wasn't quite long enough to fit two bodies side by side. My friend and I are both thin, but she was tight against the wall and I was squeezed against the table leg. A bit uncomfortable. Our table was also situated in a narrow passageway where only one person could pass at a time. So a bigger table wouldn't have been manageable anyway.

D. T.

Great service and attentive servers. Shepherd's pie was good and cocktails were tasty

M. C.

This traditional Irish pub was close to where I stayed. It certainly lived up to it’s fine reviews. So homely; warm and cosy on a cold winters evening. The bread was delicious as was the wine! Steak was perfectly cooked - medium rare! Smoked salmon starter couldn’t be faulted. Unfortunately only the one picture this time - and not of the food for a change!! That was gone a long time ago. Sorry! Highly recommended indeed!!!

M. O. D.

Brought a group of 26 people here for dinner on Monday night. All I can say is the food was incredible, the service was fantastic and the attention to detail was outstanding. Everyone at the table has something different and they all really enjoyed the excellent food. Would highly recommend and I’ll definitely be back with another group.

S. O.

Booked the Sussex for a group lunch from work. Great communication by email when booking. We pre-ordered the day before so there would be no delays on the day. Lovely, bright restaurant. Relaxed atmosphere. Service was friendly, quick and efficient. Everyone from our group of 12 enjoyed their meal, no complaints at all. Would highly recommend.

M. B.

Great authentic shepherds pie and loved the atmosphere.

P. F.

My wife asked for boiled potatoes, not on the menu, but the manager went out and got some. Easily the best service in Dublin. Food is excellent - try the salt and pepper calamari as starter; and with a full bar just a floor below you can have any after dinner drink you can imagine! A really good night out - highly recommended!

J. D.

What a great little hidden neighborhood gem! One of our favorite restaurants in Ireland!

S. S.

I was so glad that on my first night in Dublin (I was on my own) that I stumbled across the Sussex. The food was great and the service made me feel very welcomed. I liked the atmosphere, food and service so much that I went back the very next day with my family friends after they arrived. I highly recommend the Sussex. It's an authentic Irish experience with much more and should not to be missed.

A. “. L.

Really nice place for food. The staff were really lovely and were very welcoming. There is a wide variety of dishes on the menu and the food is excellent, especially the dessert! Would definitely go there again.

M. B.

I had the superfood salad it was so tasty & my brother had the duck he said it was lovely although the portion was a bit small for him they brought out an extra side of potato very fast. Desserts were our favourite part! Baked malteaser cheesecake was to die for and the peanut butter & chocolate brownie was definitely the nicest I've ever had. 5☆

H. H.

This place is immensely delicious!! I had dinner there solo tonight and every bite was delectable. I started with the seafood chowder and soda Bread - tastes so fresh. Enjoyed the 32oz ribeye with butter de Paris and garlic and chili broccoli!! So YUMMM - staff was great, great atmosphere- highly recommended

T. B.

The restaurant is located above M O'Brien's so take the stairs in M O'Brien's to get there. Food is not available in M O'Brien's. The interior offers a nice, somewhat upscale atmosphere without being extremely fancy. The service was fast and friendly and the food was delicious. The bread was enjoyable and the Shepherd's Pie was hot, rich and flavorful though the portion size was unexpectedly small. The accompanying salad was dressed perfectly and it was otherwise unremarkable.

M. M.

Did'nt quite meet my expectations in terms of ambiance, decor or food. Very much casual dining in my opinion. Food was underwhelming for price tag. I went for half a chicken, mash potatoes and gravy..could have cooked a more exciting dish myself at home.

B. G.

Wonderful service, quality food, and a clean and beautiful restaurant. I had the Lamb shepherds pie, and my husband had the seafood linguine. Both dishes were delicious, and we both thoroughly enjoyed our visit from start to fjnish.

c. w.

Found this gem when we were tired of driving in very heavy traffic. Food was great. Best Irish Soda bread I had during our trip. And staff so helpful even printed concert ticket for us for our last minute show.

P. T.

Good food, friendly staff!

G. T.

The food was very delicious including the starter and the braised lamb, but the wine selection turned out to be a good choice, too, with the Hungarian red wine (Bikaver). Besides, very friendly service, ready to recommend the next pick.

T. T.

One of my favourite places near Dublin! Food is phenomenal, lovely atmosphere, and the service is wonderful. We stopped by multiple times while visiting Ireland to get the Sussex Burger, which is, by far, one of the best burgers I have ever had. I wish I lived nearby so that I could visit more often.

P. T.

Went here for lunch one day accidentally I was wanting to go to the bar but went upstairs and ended up in the middle of the restaurant with very well dressed professionals. I decided to stick with it and was happy I did. My food was amazing and the staff was attentive. I'm happy I went here instead of the bar downstairs, although, I believe they are served from the same restaurant so I imagine it is equally impressive.

S. C.

Amazing food! Visited this evening for my boyfriends birthday and had a lovely evening. Staff were very friendly and attentive. Would definitely recommend!

D. D.

Lovely local restaurant above a pub. Excellent service and delicious food. The halibut was amazing and so was the créme brulée! A shame about the plastic straws in the G&T. If they can fix that it would be perfect 😊

W. M.

Superior pub food. Warm, friendly wait staff. Traditional menu, nightly specials. Wonderful selection of premium Jameson whiskey and other Irish whiskey. More a 4 1/2, than a 4 rating.

D. L.

A June Week in Dublin... The Sussex was recommended by the B&B, for good reason. We ate there a second time as the menu deserved additional attention! The service was perfect, start to finish, on each visit!

R. S.

Great staff, with a nice small selection of foods and good selection of wines! The seafood pasta was surprisingly great, definitely recommend it!

G. B.

Loved this place! Had a great view of the kitchen and was able to see everything coming out, all looked delicious. Everyone enjoyed their food; had the Ribeye and finished it with a Peanut Butter & Chocolate Brownie . A must visit and is a great place with a short walk if you're staying at the Doubletree Burlington Road.

c. s.

Beautiful room, excellent food and really good value for money. Love the waiting staff, attentive but not intrusive. Not to mention super cocktails. Great spot for a couple or groups night out.

D. O.

Honestly one of the best meals we have ever had. The service is friendly, fun and quick, the ambience is quirky but the real star is the food.

J. S.

The staff were so lovely. Food was really nice, good variety just be sure to ask have they vegetarian options as they don’t all appear on the menu.

A. M.

The Sussex is a friendly and relaxed restaurant. Ideal for both business leisure lunches. There is a fine selection of wines to suit all budgets and helpful staff to guide you through the menus.

J. G.

...gorgeous food and brilliant imagination with the menu and selection, you will not go far wrong with this and make sure you leave time to have a drink next door in O'Briens to cap off a proper meal...

G. M.

Friendly proprietor from Hungary. Great food. Local craft beer. They accommodated us on a busy Saturday night without reservations, even though they were booked for hours

B. N.

Great restaurant above a lively pub, with casual friendly atmosphere and staff. This is my go to place when I want a nice steak. Ribeye, Fillet or Sirloin, I am never disappointed.

N. W.

Great meals and prices are reasonable ,the drinks are cold and the staff are polite and very helpful Young Sonia is very good as PR towards guest , We highly recommend that you try the meals and meet the Staff .cheers from Bob and Juanita from Australia. ,🍀

L. B.

The Sussex is an amazing little hideaway restaurant located above the M. O'Brien's Bar. What a pleasant surprise for our last night in Ireland. The service was flawless, the fine Irish food was sterling. I only wish I would have discovered the place a little sooner.

A. L.

Food was great and service very friendly. Waiter even gave some nice tips on what kind of activities we should do while here in Ireland.

V. S. (.

A cozy restaurant with a bar downstairs and the restaurant upstairs. Seats are close to each other and the kitchen is located in the middle of the place. A lot of staff walking around. The food was ok but didn't feel that special, it was more the atmosphere that made it.

S. S.

Excellent hidden gem in Ballsbridge with tasty affordable meals, a wide range of wines and cocktails and selection of Irish crafts beers served by lovely attentive staff. Recommended!

D. H.

Amazing Sheppards pie and was even gluten free. Really nice place and staff. A good note is it's just a pub downstairs and a popular one at that. Upstairs is the restaurant

C. M.

Busy restaurant with great food and atmosphere. Staff are friendly and the service good. Great location if you are staying in one of the nearby hotels. Parking might be tricky at busy times.

H. A.

Loved the food had the mussels and was really nice just a tiny bit too salty for me though but alright with a nice glass of wine.

E. K.
