Richmond
Price: Expensive•European•4.8(435)
Head Chef, David O'Byrne, has been running the kitchen since opening day, back in December 2015. Within two years he had earned a Michelin Bib Gourmand & has retained it every year since.
Owner/Manager Russell Wilde has been in the business for over 30 years, so he also has a fair idea of what he's doing.
And they both very much look forward to providing you with an enjoyable & memorable dining experience.Bastible

The Guinness Storehouse restaurants are open to the public without an experience ticket. We ask that restaurant visitors pre-book their table whenever possible.

- CClaireDublin •1 review5.0Dined 7 days agoFood was lovely. Good portion sizes. Chowder starter flavoursome with plenty of fish. Chicken wings very tasty- large portion for a starter. Sea bass and potatoes side - delicious. Mixed review on burger - one thought meat was just ok and a bit dry. Other thought it was good. Service impeccable. Very helpful, courteous, friendly staff. Would recommend and happily go back.More infoTenters GastropubPrice: Expensive• Pub• The Liberties•4.7
