Bastible Dublin

Bastible is on South Circular Road in Portobello. It sits a twenty-minute walk from St Patrick’s Cathedral, putting the room well away from the tourist-heavy sprawl of central Dublin. The venue holds a Michelin star.

The restaurant serves modern, creative French cooking, and the room runs dressier than its neighbours in this residential pocket of the city. While the rest of the street consists of casual pubs and corner shops, the register here is formal. It is the better choice for those who want technical precision without the impersonal polish of the city’s more central hotel dining rooms. It acts as a neighbourhood staple that performs at a level far above the competition.
