    Excellent meal at Bastible with great service. Set menu very heavy on fish which was no issue for us but if you don't like fish maybe not for you. A small point but would have liked to see more wines by the glass on the menu.

    It was a truly special evening. The food and the wine pairing were exquisite. The service was so attentive yet not intrusive. Bastible has such a relaxed yet informal ambience to it. A standalone evening !

    I had the tasting menu, which may or may not be in place every night, I don't know. Under those circumstances it's a fantastic restaurant, especially if you're a foodie interested in trying new dishes and appreciate not just taste but the artistry of food. I enjoyed my meal with the wine paring and it did not disappoint. I was dining solo and felt completely comfortable; the atmosphere is casual but lively and I did not feel out of place. Every dish was incredible, as were the wines selected. Fresh, different, beautiful and filling. My only regret is not tipping bigger. There are a lot of mixed messages about tipping in Ireland with people saying you don't tip at all lest you insult workers by suggesting they don't earn a decent living. As I spent more time, I discovered no one was insulted; many appreciated the gratuities. Unfortunately, Bastible was my first night and I only tipped 10% and in hindsight, that was cheap for the meal and service I received. My apologies to the staff. PUT THIS ON YOUR LIST AND GO! But make a reservation in advance so you don't miss out as it's a small place. P.S. - this is on the higher end of prices, but not so much for a tasting menu experience.
