Was Anonym at Bastion a mag?
The best meal we had during our two weeks in Ireland—and the best I've ever had! From the moment we arrived at Bastion, the experience was exceptional. Helen at the front of house was warm and welcoming, while Pierre provided insightful details about each wine. Two in our group chose the wine pairing, and every beautifully crafted dish was presented with care, including a description of its components. Each course wa... View all feedback.

What Michael R dislikes about Bastion:
My partner and I visit a Michelin-starred restaurant every year for her birthday, so I was quite surprised that Bastion has received one. While some dishes were good, the sauce-to-meat or vegetable ratio seemed off, and there wasn’t a single truly standout dish.

Had one of the best meals of my life at Bastion on the occasion of my 10th wedding anniversary. The tasting menu and wine pairing was simply superb, and the service was stellar. Thank you Bastion for an unforgettable experience!

We booked Bastion last minute, normally not being a fan of long tasting menus, finding that they can be padded out with just average dishes however that is the complete opposite of my experience here. Every single dish was delicious and had something unusual or remarkable about it (while still being delicious no fancy techniques for the sake of it here! Highlights for me were the mushroom meringue; the poached monkfish in champagne sauce; chargrilled broccoli with aged parmesan foam; venison and the dessert of plum that had been injected with umeboshi. The service (thank you Pierre and Helen was attentive but not overbearing, and the wines (including a 2015 Sequoia Grove Chardonnay and a botrytised dessert wine from New Zealand were excellent and good value. We loved our visit here and very glad of our last minute reservation!

Fantastic meal. Friendly and relaxed but also professional. We had the discovery menu, order the cheese and the wine pairing.
