What Delahunt does

Delahunt is a privately held, contemporary Irish restaurant and event venue operating from a restored Victorian listed building at 39 Camden Street Lower, Dublin 2. Established in 2017, the business operates a single multi-space venue comprising four distinct areas: the Ground Floor Restaurant (fine dining, up to 60 seated), The Sitting Room cocktail bar (renovated September 2025, mid-century inspired, signature Irish botanical cocktails), The Snug private dining room (6-10 guests), and The Courtyard (heated outdoor terrace seating up to 25). The restaurant was recognized with Michelin Bib Gourmand 2026 and Michelin Guide recommended status, and the building is famously referenced in James Joyce's Ulysses.

The business generates revenue through four streams: full-service à la carte dinner (starters €15-€16, mains €28-€38), set lunch menus (Menu du Jour €25, 2/3-course €42-€49), group menus (€69-€80 per person for groups of 10+), cocktail bar sales (cocktails €14-€15, bar snacks €4-€10), private event and wedding hire (full venue buyouts up to 60 guests), and digital gift vouchers (€25-€500 denominations, 5-year validity). The company employs 12 people and operates Tuesday through Saturday, closed Sundays and Mondays.

Distribution is direct-to-consumer through the company website, online reservations via Exploretock, walk-in availability at high tables, and email-based inquiries for private hire and weddings. The customer base spans fine dining patrons, corporate event clients, boutique wedding couples, and cocktail bar guests, with no institutional ownership, funding rounds, or parent company disclosed.
