Riba Restaurant

Myself and my fiancé didn’t even realise RIBA existed, despite being in Stillorgan almost every week!

We were absolutely delighted with our First Table experience there from start to finish.

I would highly recommend the mussels for starter (the sauce was the best I’ve had to date), and the John Dory for main, it was simply scrumptious! The creme brûlée dessert topped the best 3 course meal we’ve had in a very long time off.

RIBA has a very cosy atmosphere and it’s complimented by the excellent service and good music!

We were very excited to have discovered a restaurant of this calibre in the area and will most definitely be returning.

You’d be mad not to check this place out!

I saw this place first on the Lovin Dublin page when I was looking for the best chicken wings in Dublin. They certainly did not disappoint lovely sauce, crispy wings and plenty of them

Lovely atmosphere. Attentive and never rushed by servers. Recommended a lovely red wine. Scallops perfectly cooked. Rib eye melted in the mouth with a salty crust. Creamy mushroom sauce was delish. We were stuffed but couldn't turn down dessert due to the choice. And all for under €50. Unreal.

Lovely staff. Very nice decor although the tiles were very slippy inside. Bread and olive oil on arrival was a nice touch and the starters of mussels were lovely although several hadn't fully opened.
Main course of pasta ragu was delicious but too heavy to finish. Will definitely come back another day.

We had an amazing experience at Riba. The food was top class, excellent service by friendly courteous staff.

Great experience lovely place to dine and the staff are top notch

Had a delisious meal in Riba. The chicken wings for starter were one of the best I've had.

I've eaten at Riba many times, it's a neighborhood gem.

The wings are amazing and for this review I got the fillet of beef, cooked to perfection.

We booked a table for 4 people for a family birthday for a 6pm sitting. The food was lovely. We had the Frito Misto and the chicken wings to start, which was plenty for 4 people. My SO got the special of the day, which was a gigantic T-Bone steak, and said it was amazing. The waiting staff were really friendly and helpful. And best of all - the food was all half price. What a treat!

Excellent food and service. Cannot wait to come back! Highly recommended.

Riba was a lovely restaurant. Great food and lovely staff.

We had a brilliant time at Riba, the staff were amazing! Food was very nice and very reasonably priced. Will definitely be back!

Riba delighted us with its spectacular menu. The food was, without doubt, the best we have experienced in Dublin and the service was outstanding. It is no surprise that this very reasonably priced top class restaurant was full on a Tuesday evening. You made our special occasion so enjoyable, thankyou.

Booked online, was made aware they may need the table back in two hours, but I explained I was meeting an old friend, and we needed a major catch up, so the greeter moved us to another table and we stayed til 11.00pm, given that it was a Monday night, we were fortunate and could be accommodated. The food was absolutely delicious, my friend had the crispy squid, and hake to follow, and I had the scallops followed by Pork Belly. All plates were beautifully presented and the food was beautifully cooked. I was impressed that on the menu they also list all their food producers around Ireland, so the quality of ingredients is very high. The proprietor was friendly and alert to our needs, without being overbearing. We got 50% of all food, and we enjoyed a bottle of house red, and a glass of pinot grigio to start, and coffee. The bill was good value, and my husband is now keen to return with me to sample the fare, as we live close by and it's a little gem of a find in Stillorgan.

Food was really good quality, we got chicken wings for starter and fillet of beef for our main which was absolutely delicious, the service was excellent too.
We will be back to Riba!

Amazing food and service

We had a lovely relaxing evening with excellent food, great value and welcoming and friendly service.

The food was superb and the service excellent. I will definitely be going back. It was the nicest meal I have had in a very long time.

We had a lovely evening in riba. From the moment we walked in the staff looked after us and made us feel right at home! We got wings to share for starters- I'm not normally a wing person but I'm already planning to order them on our next visit, they are the nicest ones I've ever tried, trust me! We had the chicken supreme for main and the fillet steak, cooked perfectly medium. We will defo be back :)

Great experience from door to door. The food was delicious and the atmosphere was perfect for a catch up with friends! Definitely coming back!

Such an enjoyable meal! Food was delicious and a wide range of wine available. We’ll definitely be back to Riba.
- We both had scallops to start and loved it. For mains we got the John Dory special and the duck. Overall the starters/mains had really nice flavour combinations and the dishes worked very well, in addition to the use of high quality starting ingredients. We couldn’t fault any of the dishes, they were all superb.
- There’s a really impressive wine selection over a broad price range which is a great offering - plenty of wines in the €24-€35 range, but also lots of choice north of that if you want to splash out on something more special.
- Desserts were delicious! I highly recommend the Nutella bread and butter pudding - it was a gorgeous combination of cinnamon, chocolate and hazelnut and had the perfect amount of sweetness. Nutella is a small feature of this dessert, not the main event (which is a great thing in my opinion!!)

Food and service was great as always

Lovely evening ,nice restaurant polite friendly staff ,no waiting on service
Thanks see you again

Don't be fooled by the cosy atmosphere of this restaurant, food and service are 5 stars! We were greeted since second 1 until we left. Food it's the best mix you could wish for from Italian and Irish cuisine, with the freshness of the local ingredients. You can choose from the standard dishes of a la carte menu or be tempted by the specials of the day. We ordered a fritto misto for 2, ribeye steak, sole fillet, with an amazing creme brulè to finish. Hands down, one of the best restaurants on First table.

Top class service and food to match. Will definitely be back

Friendly, efficient, knowledgeable staff. Seated immediately, prompt service. Food excellent, I had the special, seafood tagliatelli - very good, rest of group very happy too.

Four of us dined like royalty at RIBA on Monday evening. The menu is very impressive and our chosen starters of muscles, soup and crispy squid arrived very promptly. All delicious. Mains of venison, seabass, a giant steak cooked to perfection and the daily special of guinea fowl were presented so beautifully that it seemed a pity to disturb the plates. But disturb them we did, and were not disappointed. All delicious and satisfying and washed down with a bottle of montepulciano d'abruzzo. Only two had room for dessert, and the lemon posset and the mixed ice-cream looked great. All in all great value and the delicious food served by friendly and efficient staff made it very memorable. Thank you all. We will be back.

Lovely meal with friendly service.

We had dinner at this lovely restaurant last night and I have to say the food was amazing. We shared a seafood platter to start then we had a venison steak and a chicken dish, which were both cooked to perfection. We shared a brioche and Nutella pudding which was gorgeous. I would highly recommend this restaurant for great food and lovely service and it was a great place to find thanks to First Table as it’s not a restaurant we would have discovered ourselves.

Great food and service

Everything about this restaurant was excellent. The staff were all great. And the food! Every bite of every course was delicious - from the complimentary sourdough bread, to the starters (one mushroom soup and one terrific crab and avocado bruschetta), to the steaks (both of which were cooked to perfection as individually ordered, and served with a perfectly prepared rocket and parmesan side salad and hand cut chips), to the desserts (one lemon posset with homemade shortbread biscuits, and one vanilla creme brulee with lemon sorbet). I could go on and say more but you really need to go there and taste this food for yourself. Five stars for every single dish here.

Friendly staff and tasty food! Thank you

Ribs is my family's favourite restaurant ....there is always a friendly welcome and good variety of dishes to choose from...brioche nutella dessert is worth leaving room for !!!

I wanted to take my boyfriend for a special dinner and I didn't expect Riba was going to be so good. The staff were very friendly and I have no words to describe the food, it was absolutely amazing!. We ordered a flavourful starter for sharing, something with prawns and squid (totally recommended!) and for main dishes Rib eye super juicy and cooked as we asked to. The sides were georgus, soft sweet potato chips and creamy pepper gravy, long time ago since I hadn't eaten such a lovely steak. No doubt we will come back again!!!!

Excellent food and service couldn’t rate it higher, will be back soon

We had a wonderful time at Riba. The service was great, we felt welcomed and were given a great table by the window. The food was delicious and they even offered the special of the week with the first table discount. We will definitely be back!

We arrived slightly early, greeted with a warm welcome and shown to our table. The decor is classy and cozy with comfortable seating. The staff were very attentive and helpful with the menu selection, whilst bringing out Sourdough bread. We went with the Crab and Avocado Bruschetta (it's a must!), and the Crispy Squid. Both dishes were great and couldn't fault them. For mains, we went for the Crispy Pork Belly and the Roaring Water Bay Rope Mussels (a top contender for the nicest Mussels we've ever had). Finished off with the delicious Nutella & Butter bricoche with Hazelnut Ice-Cream (food coma). Would highly recommend and we will definitely be back again!

Great food and great service. Exceeded expectations.

First time we ate at Riba. The food was delish. My favourite was the Swordfish and the brioche pudding. The service was excellent. Will definitely be back!

Riba never fails to impress! As always the staff were attentive and kind. The food was spectacular; fresh, delicious and cooked perfectly. Riba is easily the best restaurant in the area!

Really good food and friendly and attentive staff. Steak was really nice. Both starters, the prawns and the wings were yummy with the right amount kick. The only negative and it's a small one is that the prawns should come with a little bread to mop up the yummy sauce.

We had a really good experience in RIBA on Saturday early evening. The food was great and the waiter & chef too great care to ensure dietary requirements were met without making me feel awkward. Our meals were piping hot & full of flavour. The quality of ingredients was very good. The service was excellent. When the bill arrived they hadn't included the discount but this was amended immediately. We will definitely be back.

My first time to visit Riba restaurant in Stillorgan was when my son was home from NZ, so wanted an early evening dinner as he was flying back next day. We were not disappointed with food and service. The staff were exceptionally welcoming and pleasant. We had crispy squid, soup and cheese for starters I had the duck special for main which was excellent. My son had the fillet steak which he loved and hubby had the hake . We shared 2 desserts creme brulée and cheese cake. Both were gorgeous. A bottle of red wine, pelegrino and a cappuccino completed the purchases. Using first table ensured a pleasant time. I will be back.

Great food and service and a lovely atmosphere in Riba!

Starter of Misti de Mar was not very good, pieces of squid, cod & prawn that were dipped in batter and deep fried.
Mains were really good - fillet steak and fish stew. Nicely cooked and lots of flavour. Dessert was lovely - brioche bread & butter pudding.
Service is very good, friendly and attentive. Would definitely return but avoid the starter.

We ate in Riba this week it was our first time to visit Riba so we we're looking forWard to seeing what they had to offer. We opted for a glass of Rioja and a bottle of craft beer called Underdog - both really good. The service was excellent throughout our meal, waitress was very good at explaining the specials etc. We went for a few starters as we arrived hungry; the chicken wings, prawns, and another dish of lightly batterred prawns, calamari, and cod. All of the starters were delicious. We also both tried the fillet steaks - really good also & cooked perfectly. My favourite dish was dessert we got the creme brulee and the nutella brioche butter pudding with hazelnut ice cream it was divine. The bill was charged at full price but when we noted this with the waiter this was quickly rectified, and when it was we left a generous tip as we felt we really hadn't paid enough for such great food. We will be back!

Greeted with warm pleasantries from waiter staff, menu was easy to read and straight forward. Location is great next to Stillorgan shopping centre, restaurant also has outside terrace, starters were nice, but the main course, steak which we ordered was magnificently prepared and very filling. We also got some truffle fries and lots of different sauces which was great, I would definitely recommend this great restaurant, 5 star for us, thanks and hope to go back soon.

Loved the option of sitting outdoor on the terrace. Food was tasty and the service was great.
Would recommend!

Never disappoints

This was our first time at Riba and we would all definitely go back. We sat outside as it was such a lovely day and enjoyed muscles as a starter and Pan Fried Hake and Tagliatelle al Ragu as main courses which were all delicious. The staff were lovely and friendly.
This is also a great spot to bring your child I bought my 5 month old and they were very happy to accommodate us.
