Food was excellent and good value but the service was very slow. Drinks took ages to come and when it came to paying the bill, trying to get someone’s attention was difficult and when they left the bill we had to keep trying to get someone’s attention so we could pay.

About the restaurant

A glasshouse restaurant, where the weather is our wallpaper. We serve breakfast and dinner 7 days a week. We do lunch on weekdays and brunch at the weekend.

Our New York – Italian menu is simple and delicious. Meats, fish, vegetables, fruits, herbs and dairy delivered daily by local suppliers. The restaurant vibe changes from a laid back sunrise through a buzzing sunset. A view like no other in Dublin, cityscape to countryside. No fuss, no formality, book a table and enjoy.

Sophie’s Bar is at the very heart of our rooftop restaurant. Pull up a stool and get comfortable at any time, day or night to take in the incredible views of the Dublin skyline while our amazing team of bartenders create a world-class cocktail for you.

Head out to our Rooftop Terrace to soak up the sun when it's hot, or wrap up in blankets under our heaters when it’s not.

The service in Mama Yo is truly what makes the experience, the staff is exceptional and so attentive. The food is delicious and it has one of my favourite desserts in Dublin ( the orange crush bar). The ambience is great and the setting lovely. Overall would highly recommend!

The experience at the VCC was amazing. From the service, being understanding that we were late and making us still feel welcome to cocktail suggestions and attention to detail. All be it some of the cocktails were not to my taste it was clear that to someone who liked that type of cocktail would enjoy them as they were very well balanced. I would 100% return and I am glad I came here. I would recommend to everyone as a nice cocktail bar in Dublin as many others are below the mark.
