Some Dates Deserve More Than Just Dinner & Drinks, they deserve an experience! That perfect blend of romantic lighting, juicy dishes, spicy cocktails, and a little late-night magic. If that sounds like your ideal date night, let us introduce you to Opium, Dublin’s ultimate dining destination for lovebirds.

From the moment you step inside, Opium is designed to turn up the romance. The warm glow of low lighting, the lush greenery of our Botanical Garden, and the stylish elegance of our main dining area create an atmosphere that feels both intimate and exciting. Whether it’s a first date or your hundredth, this is where you bring someone special to impress.

What’s more romantic than sharing a meal? Our Asian-fusion menu is packed with bold, exciting flavours that are perfect for two. Start with crispy duck rolls, steamed dumplings, or our signature spiced chicken skewers before diving into rich, fragrant Thai curries or sizzling chargrilled meats. Every bite is juicy, tender, and full of flavour, just like a great date should be.

A good cocktail can set the tone for the night, and at Opium, we do them right. Whether you like your drinks fruity and refreshing, smooth and creamy, or spicy with a kick, we’ve got something that will match your mood. Sip, savour, and let the night unfold.

No date night is complete without something sweet to finish. Our warm chocolate fondant, coconut panna cotta, or refreshing tropical sorbet are made for sharing or, if you’re feeling indulgent, keep it all to yourself. Either way, it’s the perfect excuse to linger just a little longer.

Book Your Table!

Get ready for a night you won’t forget.
