Note

What’s the vibe?

A bistro and wine bar specialising in modern European cooking that wouldn’t be out of place in Copenhagen, Amsterdam or Paris. Located on Fenian Street, Note is a sophisticated, design-led space that lends itself well to dates, catch-ups with pals or special occasions. The ever-changing seasonal menu means you can eat there again and again and always try something new – and the wine selection is among the best in the city. 

What are the prices like?

Starters range from €15-22 while mains come in at €26-33. Wine by the glass starts from €10. But at €32pp, the three-course lunch at Note is among the best value meals in the city.

What should I order?

Note’s menu changes regularly, meaning you’re never quite sure what you’re going to get, but that’s half the appeal. For an idea, sample menu items include a crab crumpet with sea urchin espuma and Bavette steak with piattoni and anchovy. There’s plenty of veggie dishes too. If you’re only stopping in, order a Connemara oyster (€4) with a glass of wine. 

What’s worth visiting nearby?

Note is handily located just a short stroll away from Trinity College, home to The Long Room and Book of Kells. Merrion Square, a Georgian garden square, is the perfect place to walk off your lunch while the Gingerman stands ready to welcome you in for a pint of plain.
