Variety Jones Dublin 8 Reviews
Zingy, fresh and exciting flavours.
Fantastic food and wine, friendly and excellent service, attentive but not intrusive. First time eating in the restaurant although we were lucky enough to get a "box" meal during covid. The box meal so impressive that it has been on wish l
Wonderful!
While the food was very tasty (not quite 5 star), this place deserves high praise for presentation and service. Everything was lovely and for the portion size, the six course menu is a bargain!
Perfection
Food was unbelievably tasty, wine was perfect, service was excellent. 100% recommend this beautiful restaurant, zero faults. This restaurant will not disappointment.....
Superb experience
Best food experience. The vibe is casual with incredible attention to detail. Our wonderful sommelier paired wines with each course and explained each one. Fabulous flavours. Smoked lamb was divine. Service exquisite. A real treat.
True Dublin gem
A fantastic evening. Food and service were top. Each course unique and packed full of flavor. If I was to make one observation it would be that the pasta course - while delicious (as cream, cheese and butter always is) - was probably not necessary an
Over Rated
Went for the early sitting 5.30 to 7.30 .Far too rushed to be able to enjoy 6 courses. You’ve only put down your knife & fork & your plate is whisked away and on to the next course .You are not offered tea or coffee and your bill is placed
It was ok
It was ok. Nothing to write home about. I guess the best thing to be said about it was the friendly service and it was good value
Overhyped, but lovely food and wine
Went for the early sitting. The food was delicious, wine absolutely perfect. Staff friendly. I think it’s a bit overhyped - as in I was expecting it to be more of an experience. The chairs are uncomfortable. Music wasn’t great. Kinda more café d
Outstanding
Top class everything about this place greeting, service, food etc. perhaps my best dinning experience ever in Dublin! Keep up the good work. Kevin and Jose
A true Dublin gem.
Found VJ while walking by, so we booked a table for the next evening. We got the Chefs seat. It was a memorable experience. Food was unique and tasty, and the wine pairing was bang on. Thank you to the staff for the memorable evening. Will definitely
Amazing food, great atmosphere!
Visiting with 2 friends we were made welcome immediately. Service remained attentive but never intrusive. The food was fantastic, particularly enjoyed then initial 4 small tasters to start, and the crab dish. We arrived at the 5pm sitting and were th
Disappointing service
5 stars for the food but 2 stars for the service. We went in for the dinner tasting menu. Portions are on the shared basis, relatively small as you would expect for this type of establishment but satiating. Definitely left full. Also food was tasty a
A well-deserved star
Star, completely deserved! The staff is incredibly kind, the menu is imposed and so much the better We had an amazing time from start to finish. Thank you.
Unknown excellence
Nobody knows about Variety Jones! Truly a hidden gem. Michelin starred, but very reasonably priced. The room is small, and the service is exceptional. The food did not blow us away, but it was tasty, and substantial. The wine pairing was competent.
Best night out ever
I cannot think of ever having enjoyed a meal and a night in Dublin out as much as i did last night in Variety Jones. Keelin, Kathleen and the rest of the team were terrific ... and the food and the wine pairings ... well ... WOW!
Surprised with hype
A little overhyped for me. Went for tasting menu with wine paring. It is cheaper than other Michelin starred places but produce is on cheaper end and cooked well. Wine pairings were the same! Not very many you’d usually go for or care about again.
Dinner at Variety Joned
Had an amazing meal here. Food was so good all fresh ingredients cooked in front of us as we were lucky to have the top table. Flavours were really good with lots of herbs and spices. We had the wine tasting also and our server was so knowledgable ab
VJ’s exceptional experience
I recently celebrated my partner's birthday at Variety Jones on Thomas St, and it was an exceptional experience. The friendly host warmly welcomed us, guiding us to our table. The delightful sommelier impressed us with a fantastic selection of wines.
Fabulous
Amazing meal in Variety Jones again. Everything was wonderful from the greeting to poor Valeria having to chase us twice because we forgot our belongings! The food, the ambience, the paired wine and the service. We loved everything and will be back a
Gluten free dinner
The food was beautiful and most of it was amazing especially the first starter plate. However, being gluten free is becoming more and more common but there was no alternative to bread or the pastry part of the dessert which left my partner feeling a
Memorable experience
We had a very special meal at Variety Jones during our trip to Dublin. Definitely a memorable experience with excellent food and a nicely curated wine paring - appreciated the quality and quantity of food (come hungry) and generous wine pours. Staff
Relaxed atmosphere with hearty food
My partner and I enjoyed an interesting meal here last week. Through out the whole experience the staff were very friendly and it was much more relaxed than some of the other Michelin star restaurants. We had the 6 course sharing menu. There are no
Best meal I've had in Dublin
...and maybe the best ever. Small room, with lovely bright artwork. Super-friendly staff, able to talk through the menu and describe each dish. The menu was a mixture of "basics" done brilliantly (spaghetti alfredo, basically a hug on a pla
Sensational
Brought my mum there last night. Flawless. So good. No wards. She thinks I'm a great son for finding such a gem!
Stunning food
Was so lucky to get the opportunity to eat here . Was hoping it would live up to the hype and it does . Amazing food service and wine . Honestly it was one of the best dining experiences I’ve had . Laid back atmosphere with incredible food and serv
Cool laid back Michelin star dining
First time visit and we’ll be back. Loved every part of the experience. Great food, wine, staff and ambience. Nice to experience Michelin star dining without the fine dining vibe. Really cool place
Food and Experience is Worthy of 2-3 Michelin Stars
I have been very lucky to try different Michelin starred restaurants in the US and this was my first restaurant in Europe. What an absolute treat! I took my girlfriend here so she was able to experience a Michelin starred restaurant for the first tim

Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience

If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Variety Jones Dublin 8 at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Variety Jones Dublin 8 page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* FamousStation67, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's bid.
* FamousStation67 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to FamousStation67 for any questions Peter may have as FamousStation67 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* FamousStation67 now uses their connections at Variety Jones Dublin 8 to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If FamousStation67 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, FamousStation67 receives the $200 reward which is credited to FamousStation67's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Variety Jones Dublin 8!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
