Top, Best & Fun Rooftop Bars in Dundrum

"It’s always buzzing in this corner of the city, and you can watch all the action unfold from the outdoor seats at Fade Street Social. Opt for the tapas menu, and don’t be shy with your order. The slivers of pink duck breast with pickled kumquats are a must, but don’t skip the smaller sides – the salted popcorn mixed with crispy truffled chicken is a standout."

"Fade Street Social is celebrity chef Dylan McGrath’s baby and it was voted Best Restaurant in Dublin by TripAdvisor readers. That should come as no surprise. We like it because it’s informal and relaxed but with really great food – and it’s got an interesting name."

"This charming back-to-basics restaurant promotes the use of homegrown, local produce. Its menu adapts to reflect seasonality, and food is presented in an uncomplicated way which emphasises its freshness, quality, and delicious taste."

"Brunch in Coppinger Row is truly aimed at those wanting to dive straight into a hearty meal early on. The menu is mouth watering and diverse, from your usual fare of Eggs Florentine to a mixed grill with lamb chops and Merguez sausage or salt cod croquettas with paprika aioli. This Mediterranean style of eating is fresh and seasonal and takes some interesting turns from the usual menu items that you might find in other brunch restaurants around the city, like the black pudding and caramelized apple salad that gives a twist to the usual Irish breakfast."

"Hidden in Dublin’s cultural quarter, just off the bustling South William Street is where you will find Coppinger Row, a restaurant that promises a culinary experience of the highest order. Amazing food in generous portions coupled with friendly helpful staff make this a firm favourite among Dublin diners so booking in advance is advised. Oh, and their cosy terrace is ideal for eating and people watching in the summer!"

Seapoint is home to a Martello tower that's now the headquarters of the Genealogical Society of Ireland.

The homemade tarts in this place are really to die for—we suggest trying the spinach and feta tart, and you can thank us later!"

"Bright spaces, light wood furniture, solid-colored coffee mugs, and chic, industrial vibes characterize the handful of outposts of this Irish mini-chain. Joe's uses house and imported roasts for its espresso drinks, allowing coffee drinkers (both expert and novice) nerd out about each variety's tasting notes and origins. The menu tends to be limited—sandwiches, salads, and pastries."

"Located near our Dublin hotel, Joe’s Coffee caught our eye with its brick wall and urban vibe. Plus, we were intrigued by the cafe’s menu featuring alcohol-free Irish coffee, cold press juices and smoothies. How could we resist trying Joe’s Vietnamese Latte?"
