Christmas Dinner in Dublin — 15 Festive Venues for 2026

Choosing the Right Christmas Dinner Venue in Dublin

Choosing the right Christmas dinner venue in Dublin depends on more than finding a restaurant with a festive menu. Guest numbers, budget, private dining options, location and what you want to happen after dinner can all influence which venue will work best for your group.

A smaller company may want a private dining room for 20 guests, while a larger team could need space for 50, 100 or more. For a client Christmas dinner, privacy, food and service may be the priority. For a company night out, you may prefer somewhere that allows the group to stay for drinks or entertainment after dinner.

With more than 15 years of venue-sourcing experience in Dublin, Find a Venue has selected 15 Christmas dinner venues offering genuinely different options for 2026. You'll find everything from intimate Christmas dinners for around 10 guests to larger company celebrations for up to 150 people, along with practical information on private dining, pricing and the type of Christmas dinner each venue suits best.

If you're planning a larger celebration rather than a restaurant-led dinner, explore our guide to Christmas Party Venues in Dublin.

Best Christmas Dinner Venues in Dublin for 2026

From private dining rooms for smaller teams to restaurants capable of hosting much larger company groups, these are 15 Christmas dinner venues in Dublin we would consider for 2026. Each offers something different, so we have included the practical details that matter when choosing, including group sizes, private dining options, food style, location and confirmed festive pricing where available.

FIRE Steakhouse & Bar

Best for: Company Christmas dinners, larger groups and private dining
Guests: Private dining options available for small and larger company groups
Food: Irish steak and contemporary European dining
Privacy: Private dining available in The Glass Room and Terrace Suite
Price: €79.50 per person for a three-course Christmas dinner
Location: Dawson Street, Dublin 2

FIRE Steakhouse & Bar is a strong choice for a company Christmas dinner where the food is an important part of the evening. The restaurant is particularly known for its Irish beef, including Hannan Meats salt-aged beef, alongside dishes such as wood-fired tiger prawns. Its central Dublin location also works well for groups planning to continue the evening in the city centre.

For companies that want more privacy than a large restaurant table, FIRE has dedicated private dining spaces including The Glass Room and Terrace Suite. This makes it worth considering for both client entertaining and company Christmas dinners where having a separate space is important.

Find a Venue Tip: If you're considering one of FIRE's private dining spaces, don't leave a December booking too late. The strongest festive dates can fill quickly, so we'd recommend starting the conversation by early autumn.

SOLE Seafood & Grill

Best for: Seafood-led Christmas dinners and private dining
Guests: Captain’s Table 12–18 | The Vault 20–40
Food: Irish seafood and contemporary dining
Privacy: Semi-private and private dining options
Price: €79.50 per person for a three-course Christmas dinner
Location: South William Street, Dublin 2

SOLE Seafood & Grill is a strong choice for a company Christmas dinner where seafood is the focus. Its festive dining offers a welcome alternative to the more traditional steak-led Christmas dinner, with Irish seafood at the centre of the experience.

Located just off Grafton Street, SOLE combines a polished restaurant setting with options for both smaller and larger company groups. It works particularly well for teams looking for a food-led Christmas dinner in the city centre without moving into a traditional hotel or function-room setting.

Find a Venue Tip: For 12–18 guests, we'd look at the Captain's Table if you want your own area without losing the atmosphere of the restaurant. For around 20–40 guests, where privacy is the priority, The Vault is the stronger option.

Hawksmoor Dublin

Best for: Steak-led Christmas dinners and sharing-style group dining
Guests: Private dining rooms up to 18 | Exclusive hire up to 150
Food: Charcoal-grilled steaks, Irish seafood and sharing cuts
Privacy: Private dining rooms and exclusive-hire options
Price: €70–€103 per person for festive sharing menus
Location: College Green, Dublin 2

Hawksmoor Dublin is a particularly good Christmas dinner option for groups that want the meal itself to become part of the occasion. Steak is at the heart of the menu, with larger cuts such as Chateaubriand, Porterhouse and Prime Bone-in Rib designed to be sliced and shared around the table.

The restaurant also brings plenty of character to a company Christmas dinner, occupying the former National Bank building on College Green. Alongside its steaks, dishes such as roasted scallops and oysters give groups considerably more choice than a straightforward steakhouse menu.

Find a Venue Tip: For a smaller company group, we'd look at one of the private dining rooms for up to 18 guests and consider the sharing steaks rather than everyone ordering individual cuts. Having Chateaubriand, Porterhouse or Prime Bone-in Rib sliced and served to the table creates a much more social style of Christmas dinner.

Pichet

Best for: Restaurant-style company Christmas dinners and flexible group sizes
Guests: Lounge 14–20 | Dining Room 30–50 | Exclusive hire 65–105+
Food: French-influenced modern European dining
Privacy: Semi-private dining and exclusive-hire options
Price: €77.00 per person for a premium three-course Christmas dinner.
Location: Trinity Street, Dublin 2

Pichet is a strong option for companies that want their Christmas dinner to feel like a night in a good Dublin restaurant rather than a traditional function-room event. Its French-influenced cooking, city-centre location and range of different spaces make it particularly versatile for group dining.

The restaurant can accommodate everything from smaller teams through to much larger company dinners, while the Cocktail Bar gives groups the option of incorporating drinks into the evening without having to move elsewhere before dinner.

Find a Venue Tip: Match the space to the size of the group rather than automatically looking for full privacy. The Lounge works particularly well for around 14–20 guests, while the Dining Room suits approximately 30–50. For a larger company event, we'd discuss exclusive hire, and for the right group we'd also look at using the Cocktail Bar for arrival drinks before sitting down to dinner.

The Ivy Dawson Street

Best for: Lively company Christmas dinners and smaller private groups
Guests: Jonathan Swift Room up to 24 seated
Food: Modern British and international dining
Privacy: Private dining in the Jonathan Swift Room
Price: €65 for two courses | €75 for three courses
Location: Dawson Street, Dublin 2

The Ivy Dawson Street suits companies looking for a polished Christmas dinner with plenty of atmosphere around it. Set within a Georgian building in the heart of Dublin, its colourful interiors and busy restaurant setting make it a different proposition from a quieter fine-dining or hotel Christmas dinner.

The menu combines familiar Ivy favourites with steaks, seafood and seasonal dishes, making it an accessible choice when you're organising dinner for a group with varied tastes. Its Dawson Street location also gives groups plenty of options if the Christmas night is continuing after the meal.

Find a Venue Tip: If you like the atmosphere of The Ivy but want your company to have its own space, ask about the Jonathan Swift Room. It gives a smaller group a private dining room and its own bar while still allowing everyone to enjoy the buzz of The Ivy before or after dinner.

WILDE at The Westbury

Best for: Luxury company Christmas dinners and client entertaining
Guests: Group dining available for larger tables
Food: Contemporary Irish dining, seafood and premium Irish beef
Privacy: Group dining and terrace options
Price: Evening à la carte options are available, with main courses averaging €38–€55. Bespoke multi-course corporate dining packages are quoted on request and typically start from €90+ per person
Location: Balfe Street, Dublin 2

WILDE at The Westbury is a strong choice when the setting is as important as the Christmas dinner itself. The restaurant combines a luxurious dining room with its distinctive covered and heated Garden Terrace, creating a more atmospheric option for companies entertaining clients, senior teams or smaller corporate groups.

The menu places an emphasis on quality Irish produce, with seafood and Irish beef among the main draws. Its location within The Westbury also makes WILDE particularly suited to groups looking for a polished five-star hotel setting while retaining the feel and atmosphere of a standalone restaurant.

Find a Venue Tip: If your group size allows it, ask about dining on WILDE's covered and heated Garden Terrace. It gives a company Christmas dinner a very different atmosphere from a traditional private room, particularly during the festive season. For a larger group, we'd recommend discussing the booking directly rather than relying on standard restaurant availability.

Dax Restaurant

Best for: Client entertaining, executive Christmas dinners and food-led groups
Guests: Semi-private rooms 10–30 | Exclusive hire up to 64
Food: Modern Irish and European fine dining
Privacy: Three semi-private dining rooms and exclusive-hire options
Price: €98 per person for Christmas dinner
Location: Pembroke Street Upper, Dublin 2

Dax is particularly well suited to company Christmas dinners where the quality of the food, wine and service takes priority over a lively party atmosphere. Its menus are built around high-quality Irish produce, with dishes featuring Irish beef and seafood, making it a strong option for entertaining clients, senior management or a smaller team.

The intimate restaurant setting gives Dax a very different feel from Dublin's larger Christmas venues. Its extensive wine cellar is another important part of the experience, particularly for groups looking for a more considered, traditional dinner where the table remains the focus of the evening.

Find a Venue Tip: For a client or executive Christmas dinner, we'd recommend discussing the wines when arranging the menu rather than leaving the selection until the night. Dax has a particularly strong cellar, so pre-selecting wines to work with the menu can make a noticeable difference to the overall dinner.

Fade Street Social

Best for: Lively company Christmas dinners and groups continuing for drinks afterwards
Guests: Main Restaurant around 100 seated
Food: Contemporary Irish dining, sharing steaks and wood-fired dishes
Privacy: Group dining with multiple spaces available within the venue
Price: Estimated at €75-€85 per person for main restaurant 3 course menu
Location: Fade Street, Dublin 2

Fade Street Social is a good fit for companies looking for a Christmas dinner with a more relaxed, energetic atmosphere. The food remains an important part of the evening, with Irish produce, sharing cuts such as Chateaubriand and Tomahawk, and dishes designed to work particularly well for social group dining.

One of its biggest advantages for a company Christmas night is the variety of spaces under one roof. Alongside the Main Restaurant, the venue includes the Cocktail Bar and covered Rooftop Terrace, giving groups considerably more scope to build an evening around the dinner.

Find a Venue Tip: Fade Street Social is particularly useful if you don't want the Christmas night to finish when dinner does. We'd look at planning the evening around the different spaces, with dinner in the Main Restaurant followed by drinks in the Cocktail Bar or covered Rooftop Terrace. It avoids having to move a company group to a second Dublin venue later in the night.

Suesey Street

Best for: Stylish company Christmas dinners, client entertaining and pre-dinner drinks
Guests: Private and group dining options available
Food: Contemporary Irish dining with an emphasis on seasonal produce
Privacy: Private dining and group dining options
Price: Festive evening group menus typically range from €75-€80 per person
Location: Fitzwilliam Place, Dublin 2

Suesey Street is a strong choice for companies looking for a refined Christmas dinner in a more intimate setting. The kitchen focuses on contemporary Irish cooking, with Irish beef and seafood featuring prominently, while the restaurant's Georgian Dublin location gives it a polished feel without the scale of a large hotel or function venue.

The restaurant also has a covered and heated Garden Terrace, which gives groups another way to use the venue during the festive season. This is particularly useful for companies that want to make more of the arrival rather than moving everyone directly to the dining table.

Find a Venue Tip: For a company Christmas dinner, ask about using the Garden Terrace for welcome drinks before moving inside for the meal. It creates a natural transition from drinks to dinner and allows the group to enjoy two different parts of the venue without having to change location.

One Pico

Best for: Smaller private company Christmas dinners and client entertaining
Guests: The Polo Room approximately 15–36 seated
Food: Modern Irish fine dining with a strong focus on seasonal produce
Privacy: Dedicated private dining in The Polo Room with a private bar
Price: €105 per person for a luxury 4-course festive menu
Location: Molesworth Place, Dublin 2

One Pico is an excellent choice for a smaller company Christmas dinner where food, service and privacy are more important than a lively party atmosphere. The restaurant has built a strong reputation for modern Irish cooking, with carefully prepared Irish meat and seafood at the heart of its menus.

For groups, The Polo Room gives One Pico an important advantage. Located upstairs from the main restaurant, it provides a dedicated setting for private dining, allowing a company or client group to enjoy the standards of the restaurant while having a space of its own.

Find a Venue Tip: If privacy is important, we would choose The Polo Room rather than simply booking a large table in the main restaurant. Having both a dedicated dining space and private bar means drinks and dinner can remain together, which works particularly well for a smaller corporate group.

The Merrion Hotel

Best for: Private company Christmas dinners, executive groups and client entertaining
Guests: Dangan, Pembroke and Waterloo Rooms up to 12 | Fitzgerald Room up to 30 | Wellesley and Wellington Rooms up to 50 seated
Food: Luxury seasonal dining with an emphasis on Irish produce
Privacy: Dedicated private dining rooms for groups of different sizes
Price: Christmas 2026 pricing TBC
Location: Upper Merrion Street, Dublin 2

The Merrion Hotel is one of the strongest options in Dublin when a genuinely private Christmas dinner is the priority. Its collection of Georgian private dining rooms allows companies to choose a setting appropriate to the size of the group, rather than trying to accommodate everyone around a large table in a busy restaurant.

The five-star setting makes The Merrion particularly suitable for client entertaining, senior management dinners and company occasions where privacy and service matter. Its smaller Georgian rooms also mean that an intimate group can enjoy a private Christmas dinner without needing to hire a space designed for a much larger event.

Find a Venue Tip: Start with your guest numbers rather than choosing a room first. For around 12 guests, we would look at the Dangan, Pembroke or Waterloo Rooms; the Fitzgerald works for up to 30, while the Wellesley and Wellington Rooms can each accommodate up to 50 seated. Matching the room closely to the group size will give the dinner a much better atmosphere.

Jean-Georges at The Leinster

Best for: Contemporary company Christmas dinners, larger groups and dinner followed by drinks
Guests: Up to 76 seated for exclusive restaurant hire
Food: Contemporary international dining with Irish produce
Privacy: Group dining and exclusive restaurant hire available
Price: Christmas dinner from €80 per person
Location: Mount Street Lower, Dublin 2

Jean-Georges at The Leinster offers a more contemporary setting for a company Christmas dinner, with the fifth-floor restaurant overlooking Dublin's Georgian streets. The rooftop setting, terrace and bar give the restaurant a sense of occasion before the meal begins, while the menu combines Irish produce with the international influences associated with Jean-Georges Vongerichten.

It is particularly interesting for larger groups because the restaurant can also be considered for exclusive hire, accommodating up to 76 guests seated. For companies planning more than dinner, The Collins Club downstairs provides another option for continuing the evening within The Leinster.

Find a Venue Tip: Jean-Georges works particularly well when you want to build a complete evening around the Christmas dinner. We would consider starting with drinks around the rooftop setting before dinner, then moving downstairs to The Collins Club afterwards if the group wants to continue. For a larger private event, ask about exclusive use of the restaurant rather than trying to accommodate the group across separate tables.

The Grayson

Best for: Company Christmas dinners with drinks afterwards and central Dublin celebrations
Guests: Group dining and private event options available
Food: Contemporary European and brasserie-style dining
Privacy: Group dining, private event and exclusive-hire options
Price: €75 per person for a three-course Christmas dinner
Location: St Stephen’s Green, Dublin 2

The Grayson is a strong choice for companies that want their Christmas dinner to form part of a wider night out. Set across several floors of a Georgian townhouse overlooking St Stephen’s Green, it combines restaurant dining with a choice of bar spaces, giving groups more flexibility than a straightforward dinner reservation.

The First Floor Dining Room provides a more traditional setting for the meal, while the other spaces within the building allow the atmosphere to become more relaxed as the evening progresses. Its location on St Stephen’s Green is another advantage for company groups travelling from different parts of Dublin.

Find a Venue Tip: If you want dinner and the Christmas night out in one venue, we would look at the First Floor Dining Room for the meal and discuss moving the group to one of the bar areas afterwards. It keeps everyone together and avoids trying to find another city-centre venue for a large group later in the evening.

Hellfire

Best for: Steak-led company Christmas dinners and private group dining
Guests: Tree of Fire up to 12 | Mezzanine up to 30 | Basement Wine Cellar up to 40
Food: Charcoal-grilled Irish beef, steaks and contemporary dishes
Privacy: Semi-private and private dining options
Price: Christmas 2026 pricing TBC
Location: Westmoreland Street, Dublin 2

Hellfire is a strong choice for groups looking for a Christmas dinner built around open-fire cooking and a more energetic restaurant atmosphere. Premium Irish beef is cooked over encina charcoal, giving the steaks their distinctive char, while options such as sharing steaks make the menu particularly well suited to a social company dinner.

The restaurant's multi-level layout also allows it to cater for very different types of group, from smaller dinners to larger corporate gatherings. This combination of fire-led cooking, a central Dublin location and dedicated group spaces gives Hellfire a clear point of difference from the more traditional fine-dining restaurants on our list.

Find a Venue Tip: Choose the space according to how much privacy you want as well as your numbers. The Tree of Fire works for an intimate group of up to 12, while the Mezzanine can accommodate up to 30 while retaining more of the restaurant atmosphere. For a larger group where having your own space matters, we would look at the Basement Wine Cellar for up to 40 guests.

Merchant’s Arch Bar & Restaurant

Best for: Larger company Christmas dinners, traditional Irish food and live music
Guests: Mezzanine up to 40 seated | Merchant’s Room up to 150 seated
Food: Traditional Irish dining, including Beef & Guinness Stew and Fish & Chips
Privacy: Semi-private Mezzanine and fully private Merchant’s Room
Price: €69.95 per person for the Christmas & New Year set menu
Location: Wellington Quay, Temple Bar, Dublin 2

Merchant’s Arch is a particularly good option for companies looking for a more relaxed, traditional Irish Christmas dinner in Temple Bar. Its menu includes familiar Irish favourites such as Beef & Guinness Stew, while the combination of food and live music gives groups the option of making the dinner part of a wider Christmas night out.

It is also one of the stronger options on our list for larger groups. The Merchant’s Room is a self-contained event space overlooking the River Liffey and Ha’penny Bridge, with its own entrance, bar, bathrooms and AV facilities. Smaller groups can use the Mezzanine while remaining closer to the atmosphere of the main venue.

Find a Venue Tip: For a larger company Christmas dinner, we would look at the Merchant’s Room rather than trying to accommodate the group within the main bar. It can seat up to 150 guests and operates as its own private event space. For a smaller group of up to 40, the Mezzanine is the better choice if you want to remain closer to the atmosphere and live music downstairs.

Christmas Dinner in Dublin for Couples, Families and Smaller Groups

Not every Christmas dinner in Dublin involves a large company group or private dining room. If you're planning a festive dinner for two, a family get-together or a smaller group of friends, you may simply want a great venue where you can book a table and enjoy the occasion.

These three options offer something different from our main corporate shortlist, with a brewery and bar setting in the Docklands, contemporary Chinese dining in the city centre and rooftop dining in Ranelagh.

Urban Brewing

Best for: Couples, friends and smaller groups looking for a relaxed Christmas dinner
Food: Contemporary European cooking with craft beer and sharing influences
Price: €68 per person for three courses
Location: CHQ Building, Custom House Quay, Dublin 1

Urban Brewing is a good alternative to the more traditional Christmas restaurant experience. Located within the historic CHQ Building in Dublin's Docklands, it combines a restaurant, brewery, bar and heated terrace, making it particularly suitable for friends and smaller groups who want dinner to lead naturally into drinks afterwards.

The 2026 Christmas dinner is priced at €68 per person for three courses. For smaller parties, Urban Brewing's shared Christmas nights also allow groups of up to seven guests to reserve a table online, making it a useful option when you want the atmosphere of a Christmas night out without organising a large private event.

Find a Venue Tip: Urban Brewing works particularly well when dinner is only the beginning of the night. Having the restaurant, bar and brewery together means a smaller group can enjoy a proper Christmas dinner without having to immediately move elsewhere for drinks afterwards.

Mama Yo

Best for: Couples, families, friends and smaller groups looking for something different
Food: Contemporary Chinese cooking designed around sharing and traditional Chinese flavours
Price: €69 per person for three courses
Location: Camden Street Lower, Dublin 2

Mama Yo is a strong choice if you want to move completely away from the traditional turkey-and-ham Christmas dinner. The restaurant offers contemporary Chinese dining in a colourful city-centre setting, making it particularly suitable for couples, families and groups of friends looking for a more sociable festive meal.

Its 2026 three-course Christmas dinner is priced at €69 per person and is available throughout the festive season. Smaller parties can make a standard table reservation, so there is no need to organise a private room or larger group package simply to enjoy the Christmas menu.

Find a Venue Tip: Mama Yo is the one we'd consider when the brief is simply, “We want a Christmas dinner, but we don't want traditional Christmas food.” The sharing style also works particularly well for friends and family groups where the evening is intended to feel informal and social.

Layla's at The Devlin

Best for: Couples, friends and smaller groups looking for a stylish Christmas dinner
Food: Contemporary European and Mediterranean-inspired cooking
Price: Christmas dinner from €65 per person
Location: The Devlin, Ranelagh, Dublin 6

Layla's gives smaller groups the opportunity to combine Christmas dinner with one of Dublin's more distinctive rooftop restaurant settings. Located at the top of The Devlin in Ranelagh, the restaurant has views across the city and a lively atmosphere that works particularly well for couples and friends who want their Christmas dinner to feel like a night out.

The Devlin's 2026 Christmas programme offers festive dinner at Layla's from €65 per person. Its Ranelagh location also gives groups plenty of options if they want to continue elsewhere after dinner, without having to organise the evening around a large company Christmas package.

Find a Venue Tip: Layla's is particularly worth considering when atmosphere and location matter as much as the menu. It gives you the sense of occasion of a hotel Christmas dinner, but in a much less traditional setting.

Which Christmas Dinner Venue in Dublin Is Right for Your Group?

The right Christmas dinner venue will depend on the size of your group and the type of evening you want to create. A private room may be ideal for a client dinner or smaller company celebration, while a larger team may place more importance on atmosphere, entertainment and somewhere to continue for drinks afterwards.

Food also matters. Some groups will want fine dining and carefully selected wines, while others may prefer sharing steaks, seafood, traditional Irish dishes or a more relaxed restaurant experience. Budget, privacy and location should all be considered before deciding where to book.

If you are unsure which option suits your group, tell us your guest numbers, preferred date, approximate budget and the type of Christmas dinner you have in mind. Find a Venue can shortlist suitable venues and help you compare the options before you make a decision.

Our venue-finding service is completely free to clients.

Christmas Dinner Venues in Dublin by Group Size

Guest numbers are one of the quickest ways to narrow down the right Christmas dinner venue.

For couples and smaller groups of fewer than 10 guests, you don't necessarily need a private dining room or group package. Layla's at The Devlin offers Christmas dinner from €65 per person, Urban Brewing has a three-course festive dinner for €68, while Mama Yo offers a three-course Christmas dinner for €69 per person.

For 10–20 guests, options include Hawksmoor's private dining rooms, SOLE's Captain's Table and The Merrion's smaller private rooms. For 20–40 guests, consider SOLE's Vault, One Pico, Hellfire or Merchant's Arch Mezzanine.

For larger company Christmas dinners, The Merrion has rooms seating up to 50, Jean-Georges at The Leinster can accommodate up to 76 seated with exclusive hire, while the private Merchant's Room at Merchant's Arch can seat up to 150 guests.

For larger groups, capacity alone shouldn't determine the venue. Room layout, privacy, atmosphere and what you want to do after dinner all matter.

Frequently Asked Questions About Christmas Dinner in Dublin

What are the best restaurants for a company Christmas dinner in Dublin?

The best restaurant depends on your group size, budget and the type of evening you want. FIRE, SOLE and Hawksmoor are strong food-led options; Dax and The Merrion suit more formal client or executive dinners, while Fade Street Social, The Grayson and Merchant’s Arch work well when you want the evening to continue after dinner.

Where can I book a private Christmas dinner in Dublin?

There are several good options for private Christmas dinners in Dublin. SOLE has The Vault for around 20–40 guests, The Merrion offers private rooms for groups from approximately 12–50, One Pico has The Polo Room, and Merchant’s Arch can accommodate up to 150 seated guests in the private Merchant’s Room.

How much does a Christmas dinner in Dublin cost in 2026?

Based on confirmed 2026 festive menus in this guide, Christmas dinner generally starts at around €65–€80 per person, with premium dining options costing from €69.95–€105 per person or more. Prices vary according to the restaurant, number of courses, menu and whether private dining or exclusive hire is required. Some venues have yet to release their Christmas 2026 pricing.

How far in advance should I book a company Christmas dinner in Dublin?

For the strongest Thursday, Friday and Saturday dates in December, we recommend starting your search as early as possible. Larger groups and companies requiring a private dining room have fewer suitable options, so booking early gives you a much better choice of venues and dates.

Layla's at The Devlin offers its 2026 Christmas dinner from €65 per person, Urban Brewing has a three-course festive dinner for €68, while Mama Yo offers a three-course Christmas dinner for €69. All three provide alternatives for couples, families and smaller groups looking for a festive dinner without booking a large private event.
