The Restaurant at The Clarence

"The trendy (and pricey) Cleaver East restaurant serves ultra-contemporary Irish cuisine, and stopping by the Octagon Bar for a pint of Guinness is an absolute must, even if you’re not staying"

"In the meantime, a few draws remain: the Tea Room restaurant, the cozy Octagon Bar, and the Study, a residents-only librarylike lounge, are cool spaces; children are especially cared for; and there's a miniature spa and fitness room, too"

"A hip clientele are drawn in by great cocktails and a first-class restaurant"

"Bono and the Edge's handsome boutique hotel was once the hottest bed in town, but now it's just another elegant Dublin four-star designed to reflect the aesthetic of a 1930s gentlemen's club, complete with Shaker oak beds draped in Irish linen, an excellent bar and a fine restaurant"

"The design of the public spaces uses a subtle palette of natural tones and materials, and maintains the unique shapes and Arts and Crafts style of the old hotel in the Octagon Bar and the elegant Cleaver East restaurant"

"Perhaps the hotel's saving grace is Michelin-starred Oliver Dunne's Cleaver East restaurant, a new outpost serving Irish-inspired dishes that display international influences even with the all-domestic ingredients"

"The restaurant's signature "Not Afternoon Tea" serves a two-course sweet and savory menu"
