How it works

Booking a table in Dublin with LastTable

LastTable is a free app for diners. It shows live tables, holds the one you pick while you confirm, and verifies you with a text message instead of an account.

1. Find a table that is really free

Choose a party size, a day and a time, or open Tonight to see Dublin restaurants with a table free within the hour on a live map.

Filters cover the things people ask for, such as a terrace, family-friendly, vegan options, coeliac-friendly and dog-friendly, and a price for two.

Times you see are live availability from the restaurant’s own table plan, so a time on screen is a table you can have.

2. Book without an account wall

Tap a time and the table is held for you for 5 minutes while you confirm.

Add your name and mobile number and enter the one-time code we text you. That is your sign-in; there is no password and nothing to set up first.

You can add an occasion or a request. The restaurant receives your name, number and booking details so it can prepare for you.

3. Manage it in the app

Your booking reference and the free-cancellation deadline are on the Bookings tab. Change the time or party size, or cancel, before that deadline.

If a restaurant has to change your booking, you see it in the app straight away.

You pay the restaurant directly. Diners never pay in the app.

Offers, alerts and picks for you

Flash Tables

Offers restaurants set for times they want to fill: 10–25% off food or a free dessert, on a limited number of tables, with the terms shown before you book.

Cancellation Radar

Watch a full restaurant for your party, date and time window. When a matching table frees up, it is held for you for 5 minutes to confirm or release. During the pilot, alerts appear in the app.

For you

Suggestions from your saved places and past bookings. Before you sign in, your taste profile stays on your phone. You can switch personalised picks off or clear them in the app.
