The Sussex - Menu

we visited the sussex as a party from 24 to 3 cancellations due to Covid restrictions, the restaurant was so courteous at cancellation and given refund of the deposit. when we were finally there, we were thrilled with the food and the service. everything was a1. the personal was incredibly attentive, but not intrusive, eating was excellent and high quality. 100% recommend .

difficult to find the restaurant while going through the bar. bar seemed very old and looked like a real irrigation hole, but keep them to foot coming to the stairs. the tight-fitting restaurant, but still space to move around was actually packed. menu offered good hearty eating. fresh fish of the day was cooked salmon to perfection with crispy skin. the sweetheart loved it. the mushroom and aspharagass soup with cream-fraiche was delicious. the free bread and the butter should die for it. very tasty.

Best service in YEARS, and that’s not just because of lockdown. I forgot how much of a difference a good waitress can make. Pleasant, efficient, glasses magically always topped up, knew the menu, confident food recommendations which were bang on i.e. the black pudding scotch egg which was knockout good! I had the 12oz ribeye medium rare for main and it was amazing, really nice. Then the crème brûlée for desert just seemed like the best one I’d ever had. So I can’t fault the evening really. Many thanks.

If you didn't know it was there, it would be easy to miss, but the Sussex is a great little spot in Ballsbridge. The decor is lovely, very comfortable and homely with a modern twist. The staff are very attentive and friendly which lends to a really good atmosphere all round. On top of this, the food is really tasty. The menu is varied so there are options for everyone. I had the chicken and chorizo pasta which was super tasty, followed by one of the best brownies I have ever tasted! It is well worth a visit for sure.

Had not heard of the Sussex before going though my parents were big fans, and were the ones who suggested going for my birthday. Given the occasion we were all delighted with the atmosphere, it was ambient, and subtlety sophisticated. Both my father and I opted for the slow roasted pork belly, which was absolutely incredible. Given the quality of the food it is remarkably reasonably priced, given mains average at around €13. I have definitely paid more for food well below this standard. Would most certainly recommend to all.

friendly warm environment. I and my wife were so damn hungry after I lay jet, and on time the first few days of the trip. 12 hours straight sleep, wake up hangry and ready for eating. beautiful small restaurant near the clayton hotel. good price, fantastic Americano coffee and lunch, that was exactly what we needed. the waitresses were nice and friendly and even offered advice as they can spend our day around dublin. I'm probably not going back because I'm on my way and have many places to see, but I absolutely loved this place.

So, today my other half and I ventured into Dublin's fair city for some tasty Irish grub. The Sussex is actually upstairs in the O Brien's Pub, Leeson street you'd nearly miss it. We drove around twice before we found it so keep your eyes out for O'Briens We went for the early bird menus which is €21.95 for two course and €26.95 for three course obviously we went for 3 course we love a good feed on a Sunday The staff were super friendly service with a smile! We had no booking but I read online that walkins are welcome. We were seated in a matter of seconds and greeted with thick nutty brown bread and real butter yum There's a fantastic selection of different foods on the...read more

Located above M. O'Brien's pub on Leeson Street Bridge you'll find a little bistro called The Sussex. From the moment you walk in you'll want to stay, before you've even seen the menu. You can quote me on that if you like, friends. The atmosphere is great and the décor understated plenty of brass fixtures and dark wood tables. The Sussex is owned and run by chef Dave Coffey and manager Damien Quinn, who have created a great spot that serves top quality Irish food using the best local ingredients. Our server was very friendly and attentive and let us know we were still in time for the early bird. Then he brought me my wine. This guy can do no wrong. The Sussex offer a varied lunch...read more

I have often been asked by visitors where to get some good Irish food for which I usually have no recommendation, however The Sussex ticks all the boxes. We opted for the early bird menu (although the burgers looked amazing). I had the heirloom tomato and mozzarella starter which was so fresh and tasty and my boyfriend had a smoked salmon starter which he thoroughly enjoyed. Both accompanied by some traditional brown bread. For main we tried the chicken supreme and the fish of the day which for me was the star of the show; filet of hake on a bed of gnocchi full of flavour I would highly recommend it! My only criticism is that I would have loved more gnocchi in the dish The atmosphere...read...
