A hidden gem just off Parnell Square, Dublin City, the Old Music Shop Restaurant at the Castle Hotel Dublin combines elegant Georgian surroundings with a calm, city centre location which is ideal for relaxed lunches and indulgent afternoon teas.

Located in the historic Castle Hotel Dublin, with views of Findlater’s Church, the Old Music Shop Restaurant provides a warm and stylish setting with natural light, period charm and quiet ambience, great for unwinding during the day.

Enjoy dining in the quiet garden terrace, tucked away in the hotel's courtyard. The menu blends traditional Irish and European dishes with modern touches, from comforting stews, fish and chips to light bites such as sandwiches and scones.

Afternoon tea is a highlight, featuring homemade scones, delicate sweet treats and finely cut sandwiches served on tiered stands with a choice of organic teas. Children are welcome to share in this tradition with their own afternoon tea stand.
