Riba Restaurant

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.
