Little Lemon

I will definitely be back here the food and wine were excellent! The atmosphere is lovely and service was great! Portions are a bit small so it can add up quickly.

Delicious food! One if the hidden gems near Grafton Street, Dublin. The staff was mindful. Our food was delivered with minimum waiting time. We ordered 5 dishes and all were delicious. Highly recommended to visit this Little Lemon.

We went to Little Lemon for our anniversary dinner and couldn't have chosen a better place for such a special occasion. From the warm welcome and lovely atmosphere to the excellent food, especially the patatas bravas and burrata, our evening was truly memorable. Finishing the night with a delicious tiramisu and one of the best Aperol Sprits I've ever had in the city made it absolutely perfect. We'll definitely be back.

Mr.Toni was so helpful and kind, we wanna thank him endlessly; the food was almost flawless, squid was a bit too breaded than it should have been but other than squid, burger was amazing, chicken with popcorn was lovely and antipasto platter and also shrimps were highlights of the evening. We will come asap, thanks so much!🧒🤝♥️🧘‍♂️

The food is incredible. I’ve tried most of the menu and it is delectable every single time. The staff are so friendly and kind, they seem like they’re all good friends which creates a warm atmosphere. I would recommend little lemon to anyone.

Hidden gem! We managed to grab a last-minute spot at the bar, which turned out to be the perfect setting for cocktails and a bite to eat. The atmosphere was warm and lively, and the staff couldn’t have been friendlier. I had two of the best cocktails I’ve ever tasted – the Strawberry Fizz and Lemon Street Martini were both outstanding. The food was incredible too – ideal for a pre-night-out bite, with a menu that lets you order as much or as little as you like. Can’t wait to go back!

Great place for a Friday dinner. I was pleasantly surprised with the atmosphere and the funny drinks. Not what you would be ready for but something to laugh about when walking home 🤣🤣. Great food and super kind service. Quick with food and probably the best patatas bravas I have had in a long time. A must do place with your friends for a Friday dinner out.

Found this place per chance about a month ago, it opened recently and immediately I loved the decor and atmosphere. Went in and got great food and great drinks (props to the bartender!) for a very fair price. Nice to go with friends or on a date night. It has small tapa dishes which are well prepared. Even though you can share, it’s still impossible to pick from all the gorgeous dishes on the menu.

This place is sensational. The vibe is relaxed and chilled. The lighting is intimate and romantic. The staff were attentive and Alice is a super star, an asset to the staff. She was so prefectly professional yet warm, friendly but not intrusive. Alice even arranged a birthday dessert and sparkling candel for my husbands birthday, this was a lovely surprise. The dessert, a chocolate fondant was the best we have tasted, absolutely delicious. The cocktails are amazing and tested as good as they looked. 10/10 highly recommend.

Great little spot, cool decor interior, friendly helpful staff, great choices on the menu, Tapas bites.. 5 of us, 2 dishes ea, shared, we were pleasantly full.. for sure will return ✨️✨️

I had an amazing time at Little Lemon a few weeks ago. The focaccia was flavorful, the cheese croquettes were perfectly crunchy on the outside and melting inside, and the paella was to die for. To close the night, we had churros for dessert! The prices were fair, the customer service was outstanding, and the environment was quiet and sophisticated. Highly recommended!

The staff were lovely, the service was efficient, the food was incredible and the price is fairly reasonable - drinks also nice and bathrooms very clean

A comfy and chic place where you can had tasty and generous tapas ! corkage. Delicious dessert too : ice & chocolate fondant.

Lunchtime on a Tuesday. Very quiet but don't know why ,food was excellent. Pil pil to die for .portions small enough, so need 3/4 if sharing .Nice waiter.

Only been once, but the experience was fantastic! Food was great and well portioned and the staff were lovely. Would recommend

Really love this place. Great option for tapas and drinks on a sunny day in Ireland. Delicious tapas and good range of options!

Food was beautiful! Would recommend the gambas pill pill and white sangria *chefs kiss*

Fantastic food and service! Highly recommend especially if you want to taste different flavours instead of committing to one main.

What an experience. The only thing I can even fathom complaining about was how long it took to get our orders settled but they were extremely busy. Make a weekday reservation id imagine this place being packed on weekends. The food was absurdly good for how simple it was, super fresh ingredients and the staff was so friendly and helpful. I ordered crab sliders which I imagined would be more like a hot hammer or slider but with crab seafood salad, It was more like cold tuna salad style but with crab. Still tasty just wasn't what I imagined however I ordered the muscles and they made up for it greatly. The serving size in the muscles was huge and they were delicious. Even though I was extremely full from all the other food we ordered I couldn't stop myself from going for 'just one more muscle'. The drinks were also incredible I had the weekly special, forgot the name of it but it was something with passion fruit and it was phenomenal, my boyfriend had a lemon blueberry basil drink that was dangerously tasty, couldn't even detect the alcohol. 10/10 experience would absolutely go again. Hats off to all the super busy hard working staff that where there tonight (may 16th, 7pm) I wish I got their names to give them credit where credits due. Oh and I didn't even mention the price, we ordered far too much food and four drinks and the total for two people together having a literal feast was ONLY €108. breathtaking meal, struggling to save my leftovers as I type this.

Food was amazing, every bite we took was delicious! We were extremely full leaving! Great cocktails also, would highly recommend this place!

Met some friends for lunch at the Lemon and Duke. There was a match on and so we asked for a quieter table. We were moved to the Little Lemon. A fab migration. Lovely atmosphere, lovely decor, attentive and accommodating staff, delicious food. They allowed us to order from either menu because of the move. I ordered from the Lemon and Duke. Delicious, well constructed Chicken Caesar salad and steamed greens but the good on the Little Lemon menu was mouth watering. Everything being served looked delicious! Fresh well presented and nice size portions. Also to the table we had the selection of breads, burgers, chicken skewers, patatas bravas, pavlova & apple pie. All got a big thumbs up. Really tasty and fresh. Compliments to the chef and waiting staff. Will definitely be going back for more !

I don't usually write reviews but i just had to on this occassion. my husband and i called in with no reservation, very cheeky on a Bank Holiday Sunday. They were fully booked but the girl at front of house got us a spot at the bar, which was just perfect. The staff are so very friendly and helpful, the food was magnificent and very good value. It is now our favourite place in Dublin. I cannot say enough about the staff and atmosphere. We were also treated to a cocktail each by the owners, unfortunatley i never thanked them as they were gone when i came back from the bathroom. So a big thank you from Leon & Miriam. If i could give 10 stars i would!! Thank you Thank you.

This place is usually one of the liveliest spots at night, but we opted for a more laid-back lunch visit. Around 3 PM, it was relatively quiet — perfect for a relaxed dining experience. The food arrived incredibly fast, and Toni, who took care of us, was warm, attentive, and genuinely helpful from start to finish. We ordered the squid, pil pil gambas, wagyu sliders, and the antipasti board. For a tapas-style restaurant, the portions were impressively generous. Toni made sure to point this out from the beginning, helping us order sensibly and explaining their commitment to avoiding food waste — a thoughtful touch I really appreciated. As for the food: the squid and its sauce were absolutely delicious. The gambas had a solid kick — if you’re into spicy food, you’ll love them; if not, they might be a bit intense. The antipasti board featured freshly sliced charcuterie, flavorful olives and cheeses, and warm, soft focaccia — all high-quality and delicious. But the true star of the meal? The wagyu sliders. Honestly, I think it was the best hamburger I’ve ever had. From the foie gras to the perfectly cooked meat and soft bun — I’d come back just for that dish alone. We finished with the panna cotta, which I also loved. No trace of gelatin texture, just a beautifully smooth consistency and a light, balanced sauce. Tapas restaurants are my personal favorite, and in my opinion, this place has the best menu and service in Dublin. I’m already looking forward to returning many more times. Pricing was also reasonable — with a bottle of average white wine, we paid around €50–60 per person, which felt more than fair for the quality and flavors we enjoyed.

It is absolutely the best food combination I have had in Ireland since I moved here. So much passion and taste for every single fresh ingredient. Service was amazing. If you guys want a really high-quality food recommendation, go for: Chargrilled Sirloin with Mediterranean Mushroom Jus + Pollo a la brasa( with best coriander sauce) + batata brava, and for desert Chocolate Tartufo Gelato. The best food in all county Dublin so far. Really high recommendations.

Charming restaurant for some nice tasty Mediterranean tapas. The focaccia is to die for... Super fresh , pill pill gambas ( praws) were something else. The burrata was very good too! Great service & lovely atmosphere. Perfect place for a date or a catch up with a friend. Highly recommend 😀✨

Food was great, service was really warm, friendly and efficient. Food was reasonably priced at €21.95 for 3 small plates. These are enough to fill you up, don’t be put off by the word “small”. Tapas designed for sharing, my partner and I shared everything successfully. Cocktails were really nice and the wine list was reasonable. Would definitely come back again.

A stylishly decorated cocktail bar that offers you specialty cocktails and Mediterranean nibbles, tapas style. The walls are covered in posters from the 30s or 40s and the booths and tables are very comfortable. The cocktails are great, with lots of flavour and personality! If you want to have some spectacle with your drink, try the Pulpo en Llamas cocktail - you won't be disappointed, and it tastes great! The food is nice too, with a good variety of veggie and meaty plates to snack on. I had a nice focaccia and a black garlic aioli, and they were very tasty! I can definitely recommend this place, either for a date night or to catch up with some friends!

I think I was greeted by every server in the restaurant and informed of items they had run out of. Disappointing but admired the proactive approach. Great selection of tapas. The gambas were my favorite and I soaked up the sauce with every piece of bread available! Mussels were also tasty, though tiny, and the meatballs were a little lackluster.

We had a lovely dinner at Little lemon. The food was delicious, with a nice selection of meat, seafood and vegeterian dishes. The staff was kind and very attentive and the atmosphere was pleasant. We will definitely try it again!

Overall I give it a 5 stars. The food was tasty and there was a nice selection of everything. I have small mentions to make. I am a big fan of Burrata and I tried many places and I have to say this wasn't the best one. Also the mushroom was nice but was floating in too much juice and it was uncomfortable to serve as they were messy. The staff was lovely and very attentive. We ordered desserts but we waited more then the food to come, I guess I understand as it was busy. After 8 o'clock the place was so loud that I couldn't have a conversation at the table. Overall I enjoyed the wine and everything but I only had smal mentions. Not sure if I will be back because I like to visit new places always. I recommend it to try it at least once. Very good prices overall.

very sweet and nice atmosphere. The employees are very friendly. Since we didn't realize it was closed, we continued to sit after closing time and they let us sit without warning us in any way. I'm sorry we noticed it late 😅 Unfortunately, I didn't like the meat images hanging in front of the kitchen. I think it affects the atmosphere badly because the atmosphere is very stylish and casual, but the image of the meat is far from this stylish and looks very wild.

Amazing food. Definitely the best pork belly I've had in Dublin, huge portion of Calamari and very tasty. We also had Cocktails, 1 was okay, average. The other, the espresso martini, was devine.

My wife and I had a wonderful afternoon at Little Lemon. Their tapas styled food was incredible – everything we ordered was simply delicious. It was great to see they had gluten free options including GF bread. We also loved their stellar cocktails and wonderful staff. I highly recommend checking them out!

Nice place to have some mediterranean tapas. Las croquetas were super good and the atmosphere was perfect!!

Ambience and staff excellent - food not so much - croquettes were small soggy and tasteless. The tiramisu was a dry concoction of sponge fingers and a topping of cream. Seats also too close together no privacy. We want to chat and try enjoy our night without hearing others try parade posh! We won’t be back.

We ate here on a quiet Sunday afternoon. I have been twice before and enjoyed it thoroughly. On previous visits, the food was really tasty with great choice for all. There is plenty of choice of small plates including meat, fish and veg and great for sharing. On this occasion, the food was let down by being oversalted - almost every dish including the Foccacia was quite over-salted (and I love salt!). Whomever was in the kitchen on Sunday was far too liberal with the salt. This would deter me from returning. The wine was delicious and not over-priced compared to other venues. The service was good and the atmosphere was lovely; a nice chilled ambience on a Sunday evening. The toilets were very clean.

Nice restaurant with lovely interiors. Good acoustics and ambience. Food was yummy, especially the tuna. The staff were all friendly but spent the majority of my visit, chatting to each other. Very difficult to get their attention. 3 girls and two guys

Only for the fab service I wouldn't have given three stars. For the price point the food wasn't quite hitting it as far as I'm concerned. The chicken wings were subpar terms of meat/flavour and although some things were good (e.g. fish cakes & gateau desert) overall it was just satisfactory.. in area with lots choice..

Had a disappointing experience here recently. The food was underwhelming, and the service left a lot to be desired. Despite the website listing the closing time as 11:30 pm, we were made to feel unwelcome well before then — the air conditioning was turned up to the point of discomfort, and staff asked us to leave by 10:30 pm. The place looks great and certainly fits the current trends, but unfortunately, it doesn’t live up to the hype.

Had a booking for 4.30pm on the 12th Dec, arrived with my friend to restaurant to be met by a very dishevelled man with his shirt hanging out. We said hello we have a booking for 4.30 and before we could even give our name he said no you don't in an aggressive manner. My friend and myself looked at each other thinking oh no did we not make the booking. The man continued to speak saying there is a private party until 5pm you have no booking for 4.30pm and you must go. We were looking at him and asked do you have our booking to which he replied yes but you can't stay - I have a private party. He said I dont know how you got a booking for 4.30 as we have a private party. We did book 6 weeks ago so maybe the private party booked after us !! You can imagine how the conversation continued. We asked could we sit at the bar until 5pm as there was noone at it and he said no I have a private party you cannot be here. He then proceeded to cancel our booking to which I asked could I speak to the manager and he said I am the Manager. In the end he re booked us for 5pm. We left and our afternoon of catching up and having a good Christmas afternoon had a big damper put on it. Not once did he apologise for the booking error on their part, not once did he politely say any chance you could come back at 5pm to which this would not have been a problem. We went next door and had a drink to calm down and then we couldn't honestly darken the door again so I went into Isabelle's next door and the very kind Manager did give us a table and we had a lovely time in Isabelle's. We did cancel our booking in Little Lemon.

Very shameful, and disappointing. I paid 17 euros for a cocktail that was supposed to come in a very fancy glass of an octopus then they gave me a very standar glass(see on picture) and they said it is cos you are outdoor, why not explaining this before as this presentation doesn't cost 17 euros. Second part and the one that felt more as a total fraud was the fact that the cocktail menu explains they use a mix of white and reposado el Patron tequila but then my cocktail was made with cheap silver Jose cuervo tequila. Total scam
