The Cliff Townhouse is a recent arrival on St Stephen’s Green, occupying the handsome Georgian building recently vacated by chef Richard Corrigan and Bentley’s.
This Dublin restaurants a sister property to the much fêted Cliff House Hotel in Ardmore, County Waterford. The Cliff Townhouse is a boutique hotel in the heart of the city with a beautiful dining room.
Sean Smith, former Head Chef of Bentley’s, is at the helm and his menus are rich with choice Irish ingredients like Warrenpoint monkfish, Ardsallagh goat’s cheese, and Skeaghanore duck - and diners can expect show-off dishes like Glenarm salmon served in a dome of fragrant oak smoke.
A comprehensive wine list, formal service and elegant surroundings make this a popular room for corporate dining and special occasions, and the central location makes it a handy choice for tourists.
