About Us
La Caverna Restaurant & Wine Bar – A Hidden Gem in Temple Bar
Nestled in the heart of Dublin’s vibrant Temple Bar district, La Caverna Restaurant and Wine Bar offers a warm, welcoming atmosphere that perfectly complements the area’s rich cultural heritage and lively dining scene.
Our restaurant is housed in a building over 350 years old, full of history and character. Many of the original features have been beautifully preserved — including our unique Wine Cellar Dining Room, which is connected to an underground network of historic cellars once used as escape routes during the Irish War of Independence (1919–1921). The original stone walls still standing today add a special charm that speaks to the building’s storied past
Family Run restaurant
La Caverna features three intimate dining rooms and a beautiful bar, creating the perfect setting whether you’re planning a romantic evening, a friendly gathering, or a special celebration. We are proud to be a family-run restaurant, serving guests for over 19 years. Though our team comes from all around the world, we’ve created a close-knit, passionate family united by a love for great food and genuine hospitality. Our doors are open to everyone from all walks of life — we’re known as a safe, inclusive space where all feel welcome.
Italian and Mediterranean
La Caverna is renowned for its exceptional Italian and Mediterranean cuisine, crafted with care by our talented chefs. We use the freshest locally sourced ingredients to prepare both traditional favourites and creative new dishes. Whether you’re a fan of hearty pastas, fresh seafood, or vibrant Mediterranean flavours, our menu has something to please every palate — including a dedicated vegan menu that’s full of flavour and made with love for our vegan guests.
