Liath holds a Michelin star and operates from Blackrock Market in a Dublin suburb, where chef Damien Grey applies a creative, technique-driven approach to Irish ingredients in a relaxed, informal dining room that avoids the stiffness often associated with fine dining. The set tasting menu changes regularly and is designed to be the restaurant's sole format, paired with an optional wine flight chosen to match each course. The room itself is small and intimate, set within the historic market building, giving diners a sense of discovering something slightly hidden away from Dublin's main dining strip. Because of its size and reputation, reservations are required and should be made well ahead, especially for Friday and Saturday dinner sittings.
