While visiting my sister in the nearby Hospice, I was extremely hungry and needed food. I happened on Lockes and asked for a quick bite - unaware that this was a Michelin starred restaurant. We had a lovely meal and relaxed for an hour before going back to the Hospice. The staff were wonderful and very down to earth. The... More

Was here for a work lunch the other week and it was very pleasant. They have a lunch special of two courses for 25 Euro which is the best value in Dublin! Everything was immaculate the service was great but what I really like about locks is that unlike some other Michelin star restaurants it isn't pretentious and the staff... More

We booked a table for 5pm on a Saturday evening and had a very lovely dinner. A very warm welcome on arrival and everything thereafter was faultless. If I had to make one complaint, it was that the early bird menu was too restrictive in choice and we ordered from the A la Carte. My duck main course was truly... More

Whilst en route to elsewhere, I was cycling past and popped my head in to see if they had a table available for a quick bite to eat, telling them that I would be gone by 7.30. Had dined here a couple of times in the past but not since it was awarded their 1* Michelin. A great value 2... More

As one of Dublin's latest michelin star restaurants we were keen to try this while we were there for the bank holiday weekend. Very relaxed atmosphere and not as stiff and formal as other restaurants of a similar standard. Presentation of food was excellent and everything was cooked to the high standard you would expect. Only small criticism was there... More

I had booked this restaurant because it was the only Michelin establishment open on a Sunday in Dublin, I am the head chef of a restaurant in belfast and I came along with my sous chef. I'd spoken to staff on the phone and asked if they could do a tasting menu at lunch time because we were a little... More

We booked our lunch time sitting well in advance - having heard that it got busy, being one of the few top restaurants open on a Sunday. A lovely warm welcome on arrival, an explanation of their philosophy and then a superb meal featuring experimental flavours based on traditional themes. Everything was beautifully presented, perfectly cooked and left us wanting... More

My favourite restaurant occupies a small corner site in a quiet neighbourhood overlooking a canal. It has French influences and is friendly and informal and serves wonderful food. The front of house staff take a great pride in sharing their knowledge and enthusiasm for food and wine with their customers. Locks Brasserie in Dublin has recently been awarded its first... More

We visited Dublin over a long weekend, and we were so happy to discover the canal system. Since Dublin is quite the foodie town and we'd already eaten at the fabulous Patrick Gilboud, we sought out another French restaurant and came up with Locks Brasserie. It is a 10-minute cab ride from the city center and a very pleasant view... More
