In the heart of Smithfield, next to Jameson’s, and convenient for the Maldron, this is a friendly relaxed bistro. We shared the caprese salad (which was a good idea because it was a big serving!), and then the sea bass and the pizza fiorentina- both...good. Naughtily we also had the limoncello sorbet (really very nice). It’s a nice quiet unassuming bistro, low key but good food. I hope they survive and prosper: they deserve to.More

Dined in Sparks on a cold wet night.. warm friendly staff and very tasty food.Nothing was a problem .. changed some dishes to suit exact requirements..bruschetta & chicken pasta strongly recommended.Would definitely go back when next in Smithfield.

Myself and my boyfriend popped into Sparks for a quick bite to eat before carrying on exploring Dublin. We were staying in a hotel nearby and after a google search decided on Sparks. I’m very glad we did we both had a wrap that comes...with a side of chips. Me chicken Caesar salad and my boyfriend chilli con carne. At first we thought it was pretty pricey(€9pp) for a wrap but we were shocked at the size of it... it was huge!!! And very yummy - definitely filled a whole. The two wraps with two drinks came to €22.10.More

The perfect casual meal for two. Great menu with loads of tasty dishes - lovely relaxed atmosphere. Highly recommended. Staff are fantastic. Will definitely be back.

Located in the heart of Dublin at the old Jamieson Whiskey plant, this Italian bistro has a great menu. I elected to sit outside even if the temperature was dropping, (this explains the bluish light on the picture)There was already two other tables outside but...the waiter seemed surprised/overwhelmed by my request to get an outside table. I ended with a menu relatively fast but the initial order request took a little longer. For those who know me, I am short fused for this. Nevertheless, I went for the Lobster/Crab lasagna that was very good when it showed up. It took 3/4 of my glass of wine for this to happen. Sadly, no one realized I was about to run out of wine and no one offered a refill. Oh well. Saved 9 euros. Total cost of lasagna and a glass of wine: 19 euros. The meal was good but the service a little behind. I was offered garlic bread half way in my meal. Will I go back? Sure...More

Sparks is a fantastic restaurant in the heart of Smithfield. Daily specials are beautifully prepared and quality of food is always top class with staff that are super friendly and efficient with a lovely sense of humour and good banter.

We went here before going to hear Irish music in the only pub that starts music early. Great service, good food, though mine wasn't as good as some others.
