The Pig's Ear
An Irish restaurant overlooking Trinity College, elevating traditional home-style dishes like shepherd's pie.
Located at 4 Nassau Street, overlooking Trinity College, the official website states that the restaurant has returned to its original location and launched its new 2026 Irish menu. The Michelin Guide lists it under Irish cuisine with a €€ price rating. Common dishes include shepherd's pie, beef tartare with oysters, and brown bread ice cream; the shepherd's pie was featured on the 2025 menu, and ordering is subject to the current seasonal menu. The rooms are cozy and staff explain the dishes, though some customers find the prices on the higher side. Booking in advance is recommended, and it is just a few minutes' walk from Trinity College or Grafton Street.
