Delahunt hosts executive dinners, business mixers, product launches, family milestones and small weddings for 6 to 60 guests. The restaurant serves contemporary Irish cooking in a listed Victorian building at 39 Camden Street, Dublin, and every space can be booked privately, up to a buyout of the whole house.
Seminars and company events
For a board meeting over dinner, the Snug seats 6 to 10 guests in a fully private room with its own server. The Sitting Room on the first floor suits drinks receptions and networking evenings, with 60 standing or 40 seated, a private bar and a separate entrance. Larger company dinners take the ground-floor restaurant for 60 seated, and full buyouts are available. Group menus apply from 10 guests. The house has also been used for product launches and fashion shoots.
Weddings and receptions
Delahunt takes a limited number of weddings each year, on any day of the week. A seated wedding dinner for up to 60 is served in the Main Dining Room on the ground floor, and the Sitting Room upstairs takes a standing champagne reception for 60. The Snug, wood-paneled and seating up to 10, works for micro-weddings. The heated Courtyard is offered for summer celebrations. Both floors have sound systems, and DJs, acoustic sets and live musicians can play in the Sitting Room and the dining room. The site describes dinners and receptions, not ceremonies.
Rooms and capacities
The ground-floor restaurant is the restored Victorian grocer, with high ceilings and original wood paneling, and it seats 60. The Sitting Room, renovated in September 2025, seats 40 or holds 60 standing. The Snug, the original private dining room, takes 6 to 10. The Courtyard is a newer enclosed and heated space for 20 seated or 25 standing. Private hire of the Courtyard, the cocktail bar or the whole venue is arranged by email with the events team.
Catering
All food comes from the in-house kitchen, which carries a Michelin Bib Gourmand for 2026. Menus follow seasonal Irish produce, and weddings get a tailored three-course menu. The Sitting Room runs its own cocktail list built on seasonal Irish botanicals, with bar snacks and exclusive cocktail menus for private events. Most dietary needs and allergies can be handled with advance notice. Regular service runs Tuesday to Saturday, with lunch from midday and dinner from 5 pm to 9 pm. The restaurant is closed on Sundays and Mondays.
History and setting
The building was a Victorian grocer's shop, and Delahunt of Camden Street gets a passing mention in James Joyce's Ulysses, as the caterer at a gathering. The house now runs three concepts under one roof: the restaurant, the Sitting Room and the Delahunt cocktail bar, which opens to guests and walk-ins from 5 pm.
Getting there
St. Stephen's Green and the Iveagh Gardens are about five minutes away on foot, which puts the restaurant within walking distance of most city-center hotels and offices. The Luas Green Line stops at Harcourt, a short walk away. Dublin Airport lies north of the city, reached by coach or taxi.
