After years of moving around Dublin at festivals and pop-ups, the talented team behind allta finally have a permanent home in this spacious dockside building in a swish area of the city. The space is split into two parts: an industrial-chic cocktail bar complete with DJ and a separate dining room with an open kitchen where guests can sit at the counter. The cooking has a strong Irish base, with quality seafood from Union Hall prawns to day-boat sole making an appearance. If you like your dessert with a side of nostalgia, go for the soft serve ice cream.
