A Hidden Dublin 4 Gem
Courtyard Dining in the Heart of Donnybrook
Tucked behind a vine-covered gate on Belmont Avenue, the Marco Pierre White Courtyard Bar & Grill is one of Dublin 4’s best-kept secrets. Steps from the Aviva Stadium and the RDS, this is the kind of restaurant you find once and keep coming back to.
The Courtyard is the result of a partnership between Marco Pierre White — the youngest chef in history to earn three Michelin stars — and Fitzers, one of Ireland’s most trusted restaurant families. That combination of culinary pedigree and Irish hospitality is at the heart of everything served here.
Warm, intimate, and genuinely special. Whether it’s a Thursday night dinner, a Sunday lunch, or the wedding reception your guests will still be talking about in ten years — this is the room for it.
A Room Worth the Journey
The Marco Pierre White Courtyard Bar & Grill occupies a beautifully converted space on Belmont Avenue — one of Donnybrook village’s most characterful addresses. The entrance alone, through a vine covered gate, sets the tone for
what follows.
Inside, the restaurant combines the warmth of a neighbourhood bistro with the polish of a premium dining room. Private spaces including The Garden Room and The Library Room make this one of Dublin 4’s most versatile venues for both intimate dinners and larger celebrations.
Close to the Intercontinental Hotel, Herbert Park Hotel, Clayton Hotel, Aviva Stadium and the RDS — and yet, once you’re through that gate, the city feels far away.
"We had our wedding reception here, everything was absolutely of the highest standard — in particular the food and service. All of our guests absolutely loved it. Can't recommend enough."
— Ruairi Nolan, December 2025
