Why go
Table 45 is a practical Dublin 2 choice when convenience matters more than a clearly defined tasting-menu or chef-led format. Book it for an easy meet-up or casual return visit; cross-shop Note if you want modern cuisine with a clearer price tier and stronger pre-booking signals.
About Table 45
Table 45 is a Dublin venue with a casual profile: it is closed on Monday, open from 12 PM into the evening Tuesday through Sunday. For someone considering a booking, the useful next move is to match it to what is actually known. Table 45 is best assessed as a casual Dublin option where the opening hours may help with timing. If the goal is a meal with a more clearly defined culinary identity, compare other Dublin dining rooms before committing; Note is another option to review in that search.
Use it for convenience, not a high-stakes tasting menu
The smart read is to treat Table 45 as a practical Dublin option rather than a research-heavy dining target. That matters because a tasting-menu-style booking needs more pre-commitment: format, pacing, price, chef direction all shape whether the night feels worth it. The grounded draw is simpler: casual dress and opening hours that run from noon to late evening on operating days.
That makes it more useful for diners who value a direct, low-pressure plan than for anyone trying to choose one heavily defined dinner in Dublin. If the decision is between a casual booking here and a more clearly documented meal elsewhere, choose based on how much structure the night needs. For another restaurant to review, compare it with Note; other options to review include 3fe Gertrude and 3fe Grand Canal Street.
Who should book, who should cross-shop
Book Table 45 when the priority is a casual Dublin meet-up and the group does not need a heavily signposted cuisine style. Cross-shop it for a milestone dinner where known awards, chef credentials, pricing, or a published tasting format are part of the value calculation. In that case, the safer move is to review venues with clearer positioning before arrival.
For planning beyond this one booking, use the Dublin restaurants guide to compare restaurant styles, then check Dublin bars if the meal is part of a longer evening. Visitors building a fuller trip can also scan Dublin hotels and other Dublin planning resources.

The take
The Take
The Vibe
Table 45 reads like a considered, modern neighbourhood restaurant that prioritises provenance and kitchen focus over casual bustle. Set on Hogan Place in Dublin 2, the room presents itself as a deliberate destination rather than a walk-in corner, and the copy emphasises tighter menus and long sourcing relationships. That editorial stance yields a sophisticated, quietly curated experience: staff and kitchen aim to make the ingredient story central, and the atmosphere leans toward composed and intimate rather than trendy or tourist-driven. The result feels contemporary and purposeful, designed for diners who care about origin and technique.
Best For
This is a place built for attentive dinners and gatherings that value food provenance — evenings when the menu and sourcing matter. Located away from Temple Bar’s tourist trade, Table 45 attracts repeat local custom and suits celebratory meals or group dining where the table wants a focused tasting of well-sourced Latin-inflected dishes. Because the restaurant is positioned as a destination with tighter menus, it works particularly well for reserved dinner plans and special nights out rather than casual drop-ins.
Ordering Tips
Lean into the kitchen’s strengths: start with the ceviche to sample bright, well-sourced seafood, choose the Lomo Saltado as a showpiece main for a hearty, flavour-forward plate, and finish with the Basque cheesecake for a memorable dessert. Servers are likely versed in the provenance stories behind dishes — ask about where key ingredients come from and whether small-production producers are featured on the evening’s menu. Given the focused menu approach, consider booking ahead and planning a sequence of courses to experience the chef’s intent.

Restaurant context
How Table 45 compares in Dublin
Table 45 is the easy-booking option in this set: useful for a central Dublin 2 plan where convenience matters and the group does not need a tightly defined cuisine style. Note is the clearer pick for a more deliberate dinner because it has a modern-cuisine identity and a €€€ price tier, which makes the value question easier to answer before booking.
For daytime or coffee-led plans, 3fe Gertrude and 3fe Grand Canal Street are more natural cross-shops than dinner substitutes. Choose them when the brief is a lighter meet-up rather than a full restaurant meal. Steam Café sits in a similar practical lane for casual plans, while Secret Garden is worth comparing when atmosphere matters more than a defined modern-cuisine brief.
The short version: choose Table 45 for access and flexibility, Note for a more intentional dinner, the 3fe venues for daytime convenience. If booking difficulty is the deciding factor, Table 45 is the safer starting point; if value depends on knowing the format in advance, Note gives more to work.
