The rooftop restaurant, Jean-Georges at The Leinster, has been expertly and lovingly curated by the acclaimed Chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten, marking his groundbreaking first foray into Ireland, and following in the footsteps of his restaurants in London, New York, Paris and Kyoto. A friend of Dublin, Jean-Georges has been heavily involved in the construction of the restaurant, working closely alongside The Leinster’s culinary team led by Head Chef Ross Bryans.

Combining Irish classics with fresh French and Southeast Asian flavours, all dishes incorporate locally sourced and seasonal ingredients. Dinner menu highlights include Egg toast with caviar and herbs, Grilled lamb chops with a smoked chili glaze and roasted asparagus, Wild turbot crusted with nuts and seeds and Decadent warm chocolate cake paired with Tahitian vanilla ice-cream.

Pairing exquisite food with award-winning wines, Jean-Georges has an extensive selection of wines and cocktails curated by the hotel’s Sommelier and Head Bartender, Milan Ormanovic, who recommends the Wild Strawberry as a playful take on the timeless gimlet, the Ginger Margarita, a Jean-George twist on the spicy margarita and The Passion Fruit, the perfect alcohol-free cocktail.

The Collins Club is a dazzling space, a destination in itself and a place of constant fun. The drinks list is a masterpiece and has been meticulously curated and designed around the finest method and ingredients. The nods to Georgian glam are clear with dimmed lighting, ceilings adorned with decadent details, and a bar drenched in the most luscious shade of crimson. DJs will read the room whilst a lively pianist plays on the baby grand, and a food menu is served up with small plates and bites, the mixologists at The Collins Club have managed to create an intimate, yet ever so lively vibe that invites locals to delve right into a good time.

There are over 300 curated pieces of original painted art from more than 80 artists dotted around the hotel, reflecting Ireland’s growing and dynamic contemporary art scene. The Leinster exhibits various pieces by Melissa O’Donnell (formerly known as Melissa O’Faherty), Paris-based Irish artist Colette Riet, Irish artist Domino Whisker, Virginia-based Irish artist Stephen Dunne and much-loved friend of The Leinster, Damien Hirst with his H10-1 Wu Zetian piece, from the H-10 The Empresses collection, proudly greeting guests at reception.
