Reviews and Kind Words

We had a fab dinner here. The duck breast with blackberry was delicious, and the potato side was unbelievable! Highly recommend The Night Porter cocktail - so much nicer than an espresso martini! Staff were lovely and friendly and it's a beautiful, quirky building. Would love to see the view from upstairs in the summertime!

We stopped in here for lunch and had high expectations based on reviews. The menu reads real foodie but every dish was flawless. I had the fried chicken with sushi rice and it was packed full of flavour. The food combinations were well balanced and complimented each other well. The staff were all incredibly friendly and helpful getting us a suitable table for a baby in a buggy. I will definitely return to Rúibín again!

There is a reason why this place has such high ratings! We couldn’t get a dinner reservation, so came for lunch instead. The service is attentive and the servers were very friendly. They have a good beer list, in addition to the cocktail menu. I had pan seared fish which was so tasty, and I loved the veggie sides. The oysters and fish sandwich were also great. Super centrally located, would highly recommend if looking for an upscale (yet reasonably priced) lunch.
