The Ivy Dawson Street

The Ivy Dawson Street occupies a handsome building on Dawson Street, one of Dublin’s smarter city-centre thoroughfares between Trinity College and St Stephen’s Green. It is the Dublin outpost of the well-known Ivy brasserie group.

The interior leans towards theatrical: rich colours, patterned floors, artwork and a busy bar. The all-day menu runs from breakfast through to dinner, with Irish produce on the plate and vegetarian options throughout. Booking is advisable, particularly for weekend brunch and evening tables.
