Taste At The Bonsai By Dylan Mcgrath

All the courses were delicious and the staff were very friendly. Looking forward to trying the rest of the menu

We enjoyed the food and were pleased with the friendly attitude of the staff. We ordered a Sharing menu and it was delicious. We received prompt service and the waiters were quite friendly. The restaurant itself was warm and friendly and the atmosphere showed that all the diners there were enjoying their dinner. This for sure one of the most amazing food experience in Dublin.

Taste at the Bonsai is a Japanese-inspired bar, which also has a restaurant on the top floor. The location is ideal, and the decor and atmosphere are quite nice (although loud ! The inside of the restaurant still has the original red brick walls, which you can also observe from the outside of the building making the ambiance quite charming and cozy.Taste was able to accommodate a last minute reservation for dinner, which I greatly appreciated, especially on a Saturday night. The waiters are some of the nicest you will meet in Dublin, although the manager made us feel extremely uncomfortable. The food ideas are overall original, but this is not where would go to find authentic Japanese food. The slow poached egg was quite tasty as well as the akami and otoro nigiri. We however had questions about some of the food items, but the manager was not interested in answering them. I was therefore disappointed to find out that the chef’s special nigiri was all beef (wagyu and chimichurri based, and there was no fish (just one with prawn . As a pescatarian, I could not eat any of these nigiri, and this situation could have been avoided had the manager answered our questions about the food items. The tempura rice, although interesting, is quite a useless item on the menu. Overall ok place to go hang out with friends (great cocktails! , but on the pricier side for the banal quality of food.

Great! Discovery of flavors, impeccable service, we took the menu for two to share it was amazing: impeccable wagyu beef, extremely tasty meatball of caramelized rice and a sort of fondue in which we chewed salmon and rice balls, very finely seasoned. Classic elements of Japanese cuisine but revisited with inspiration. We recommend unequivocally.

Fantastic service, great and exciting food. Wonderful
