Dillingers

A complete revamp has turned Dillinger’s edgy space into a retro diner, all black and green décor - but still with the trademark quirky menu, fun atmosphere and excellent staff
Seats 45. Brunch Sat/Sun 10.30am-4pm; D daily from 5.30pm. Set 2 course Early D €22 Sun & Mon all night, Thu-Sat 5.30pm-6.45pm. Also a la carte. House wine from €30. Children welcome, air conditioning. Set 3 course menu €35. Closed L Mon-Fri. MasterCard, Visa abbreviations

Dillinger’s gritty New York vibe made it an instant Ranelagh favourite since opening in 2009, but savvy restaurateur John Farrell (of 777 and The Butcher Grill) doesn’t rest on his laurels.


A complete revamp has turned the edgy space into a retro diner, all black and green décor. There’s a glossy bar that takes up a considerable part of the room too, and despite the floor space looking smaller, the combination of bench seating, regular chairs and bar stools means Dillinger’s can now accommodate more people at peak times.


 Fans of Dillinger’s signature nachos will be delighted to see them back on the menu. The “American-influenced progressive Irish cuisine” features lots of stateside favourites, including homemade hot dogs, sensational yellowfin tuna tostados, Hereford cheeseburgers and barbecue baby back ribs.




The décor may be basic but the cooking is anything but. Cheffy touches include venison haunch, potato fondant, smoked pancetta, creamy sprouts and carrot puree


For some of the best value in seafood, the hotpot is a feast, loaded up with gambas, mussels, clams, Dublin Bay prawn and chorizo. Served with grilled sourdough, at just €24, it’s excellent value.


 Dishes like exceptionally tender ribeye, striploin and flat iron, can be jazzed up with interesting sides although the accompanying house salad is pretty impressive. Each dish has original and thoughtful accompaniments, and portions err on the generous side.


Desserts include an orange and rum brioche bread and butter pudding, served with dulce de leche and Dillinger’s Devil’s Delight – vanilla and pistachio ice cream with hot chocolate sauce and crumbled Oreos.


Drinks offerings are interesting, and while the wine list is short-ish, but with about 13 offered by the glass, there’s a good choice of beer, cider, specialist juices and cocktails. The up-beat tunes, cocktail bar and dining specials like Monday Tacos and Tuesday Nachos aim to make this a cool drop in joint for Ranelagh’s discerning patrons.


Just like the original incarnation, Dillinger’s’ appeal lies in its quirky menu, fun atmosphere and excellent staff. The food is fresh and exciting and offers an affordable and hip dining option.
