Bastible

Bastible is a Michelin-starred restaurant on Dublin’s South Circular Road, led by chef-patron Barry Fitzgerald and his wife Claire-Marie, offering one of the most genuine and soulful fine dining experiences in Ireland. The restaurant takes its name from a traditional Irish cast-iron cooking pot — an apt symbol for a kitchen that values craft, simplicity, and the transformation of exceptional local ingredients through careful cooking. The menu changes frequently in response to seasonal availability, with Fitzgerald’s approach defined by restraint, clarity, and a deep respect for Irish produce. Dishes are unfussy without being plain, allowing the quality and character of each ingredient to speak clearly, presented with a warmth and directness that reflects the restaurant’s neighborhood roots. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming — more accessible than many Michelin-starred establishments, but no less serious in its commitment to culinary excellence. The small, intimate dining room creates a convivial and unhurried environment. Service is friendly and attentive. Bastible earned its Michelin star in 2022 and has maintained it with consistent and confident cooking that continues to develop year on year.
