Morelands Grill is the steakhouse restaurant of The College Green Hotel (Autograph Collection), on Westmoreland Street directly beside Trinity College and the Trinity Luas stop. Steaks are cooked on a Josper charcoal grill at over 500°C, using beef sourced from a fourth-generation Dublin butcher, served in an Art Deco-styled dining room. Locals often just call it Morelands restaurant, Dublin 2. This steakhouse on Westmoreland Street is a two-minute walk from Trinity College Dublin and O’Connell Bridge.

Morelands Grill Reviews

Morelands Grill holds a 4.0★ rating on Tripadvisor from 148 reviews, ranking it #655 of 2,923 restaurants in Dublin, and a 4.3★ rating on OpenTable from 191 reviews.

• “Steak delicious, lovely server Sofia.” – Helen M., Tripadvisor
• “Ridiculous overpriced. No atmosphere. Basic furnishings.” – Nuala N., Tripadvisor

Atmosphere is the clear weak point here – 3.0, the lowest sub-score of any restaurant reviewed on this site – and several recent reviews describe a quiet dining room, slow pacing between courses on the fixed-price menu, and a bill that feels steep for what arrives. The food itself, especially the steak, draws consistent praise, so this reads as a room-and-value complaint rather than a cooking one.

Morelands Grill Menu

Morelands Grill is built around the Josper charcoal grill, searing Hereford beef at over 500°C for steaks including sirloin and fillet, alongside a signature 30-day Himalayan salt-aged beef option from named supplier Peter Hannan. Beyond steaks, the menu features fresh halibut, a Black Angus charred beef burger, and a saffron vegan gnocchi and risotto for non-meat eaters. A pre-theatre 2/3 course menu and daily breakfast (including a vegan breakfast option) are also served, though reviewers note the fixed-price dinner menu is more limited than the à la carte options.

The Story of Morelands Grill

Morelands Grill is the steakhouse of what’s now The College Green Hotel (Autograph Collection) – a property previously operated under the Westin brand. The hotel’s own current website promotes the space mainly for breakfast rather than as a standalone dinner destination, though Tripadvisor reviews from recent months describe dinner visits with a fixed-price menu – it’s worth calling ahead to confirm evening service before booking.

• Formerly The Westin Dublin – the hotel operated under the Westin brand before its current identity.
• Rebrand – now The College Green Hotel, part of Marriott’s Autograph Collection.
• Today – the hotel’s own site highlights Morelands mainly as its breakfast venue; dinner service is best confirmed by phone.

Recognition
