I had a great day today which ended badly! sadly I went to this restaurant to treat myself to a solo late dinner fish/chips and off home, as I entered a security guard asked me in these exact words...WHAT DO YOU WANT? taken aback I replied a table for one. The security guy went on to say there are no tables even though the restaurant was almost empty, and this was around 6.30pm he asked me (the short white security guard who thinks he's john wick) to leave and I asked him why and he would not say, but I knew. I asked him again all I want is a table for one person, anyways, he stepped towards me and I had to shift my body posture (I am an ex boxer btw still active training and helping to train others) anyway, ego aside, he opened the door as I was just inside, and what few customers they had were watching a spectacle from nothing. outside I just walked away what's the point eh! I made a garda complaint who will be visiting the restaurant this evening so an official report is made and next steps are possible civil lawsuit I will know more once I have spoken to my lawyers. I called the restaurant for an explanation but none given, I implore people to BOYCOTT this racist establishment until they explain themselves, I will not have my day ruined my a little racist security guard and this will go further, I am also asking my friends to review this place to WARN PEOPLE OF COLOUR and to PERHAPS have a demonstration outside to see how they like being discriminated against. fair is fair. but endless negative reviews is a start. I guess they messed with the wrong black man from the UK. this is not the end of the matter by a long shot read more

WOW! You know how you can't keep your eyes open when you taste something truly amazing? It gives you a moment to turn off the other senses and just savor the incredible flavors. But it usually only happens the first bite or two. Not with this schweinshaxe! Every juicy bite of this crunchy skinned, fall of the bone marvel sends your senses into ecstasy again and again. From the reviews, we were expecting nice, hearty good Eastern European, Baltic and Russian fare. ("Mainly Russian fare in nautical-themed eatery with ships' sails and rigging, plus porthole aquaria.) As a foodie with almost 50 countries visited, this schweinhaxe was probably in the Top 3 dishes I've ever had. read more

Admiral Restaurant - Amazing schweinshaxe. Enough for 2. But there's enough great items on the menu for them; you can be selfish and keep all this for yourself!! - Russian Near Me - Dublin, D

Best restaurant I ate at in Dublin. Away from the woke lunacy and great food. Service, price and food were excellent. Clean and comfortable family environment. read more

We saw this restaurant from the bus on our way from the airport. Looked really interesting from outside. Few days later found a Russian restaurant in Dublin it was the same restaurant! Surprise!surprise! Service is very good. Food delicious! We got so much food, we wanted to try it all! Of cause I couldn't eat most of the items on the menu ( it has meat or dairy) but still was plenty of food for me. It was a little pricey but all Russian restaurants are. And u got much more food for ur money. I would definitely recommend this place even if u r not Russian. For not Russian customers there r pictures of every item on the menu and English description, so u will know what u r getting! read more

This restaurant was incredible! During a really tough post-pandemic Russian war time, this place really was awesome. (The restaurant is "standing with Ukraine" and has a Ukrainian flag outside of the entrance.) Dublin is very tight right now with reservations and the restaurant took my brother and me in without reservations. The food was superb--everything we got. Our server was very friendly with a great sense of humor and remembered everything about our order perfectly. The food arrived timely as did the bill when asked. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone in Dublin, particularly if you want to try something different! read more

GREAT! I seriously thought the best pork knuckle/ schweinehaxe you could get was in Germany, Austria, Slovenia or Poland. I was wrong. The best is in Dublin at this pan eastern European restaurant. So moist and tasty with crispy, yummy fatty skin. I didn't even finish half, but brought the rest back to my hotel to eat tomorrow, despite the fact I can't even reheat it. read more

This was my first Russian restaurant to eat at and of all places Ireland. I wouldn't of guessed it but if your here give Admiral's a try. The atmosphere is clean and the service was good. The waiter answered our questions & helped us make a great selection. I had the cream of mushroom soup in a bread bowl. It was great. We had some cheese bread for the table that was a great addition. The pierogies with bacon was awesome!! I would definitely want that dish again. read more

I love coming to Admiral. Whats not to like about a nautical themed restaurant that serves delicious Russian food that you will happily Putin your stomach. If you come here and sit down before 3pm there is 20% off your total bill and that includes both food and drinks. They serve tall colourful cocktails which are also 2 for 1 on certain days between certain times aswell. These are the vibrant kind of concoctions that would be able to fuel the passion between Sharon Curley and Georgie Burgess any day of the week - picture a liquid version of any Venga Boys song you can think of. BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM! There you go. There is a Georgian cheese bread which comes as a starter that they bake on the premises, it takes roughly 12 minutes or so but it is well worth it. I will include a photo, honestly it is so good that your tastebuds will be mistaken for thinking you're gonna have a party....in the mediterranean sea! Sometimes they have foreign music videos playing in the backround on the tv screens that would have any hardcore feminists capsizing the restaurant or wrecking the shop, err I mean ship. To put it mildly more teets than an Avonmore dairy farm. Mildly. The menus read like an inflight magazine or maybe a supermarket summer marketing campaign to promote the fact that its summer and you should be eating and drinking more. Its all high res pictures adorned with a high gloss finish. My main of BBQ'd lamb on a skewer was delicious, the meat was well cooked but still kept a moist rounded texture in the mouth. The boiled potatoes were €1.50 extra but the whole meal was a real Captains portion which made sure there were no mutinies on the way home. So to recount we had 2 starters, 2 mains, 4 drinks, 1 dessert, a power struggle over the dessert, 2 coffees and great service for roughly €60. I would recommend this place to any budding sailors or sailorettes and landlubbers alike, if you have ever sat in a bath with a rubber duck then this place will definitely float your boat. read more

Trying Russian food might not be the first idea that comes to mind when you visit Dublin but think twice. This is by far the best Russian restaurant I've been to! Put it on your list when planning your trip. The theme of the restaurant is "sea", but don't expect sea food only. As the Russian cuisine is meat-heavy you can order salmon, lamb, steak, chicken, pork, duck, and even rabbit. If you go for the BBQ-style the meat comes on a skewer. I especially love the sides: herring, potatoes, dumplings (pelmini/vareniki), or Russian pancakes with red caviar. Have a craving for shrimp, chicken wings, or lobster? You got it. The food quality is great and you definitely get something for your money. Service is friendly and fast. One some evenings they have a live singer which can make conversation hard but just go on with your Vodka. Speaking of which: Remember if you arrive with more than 2 people its impolite not to offer a Vodka shot to everyone. But don't worry. Admiral's bar is prepared for this kinda tradition, obviously. read more

I went here with a bunch of my colleagues for a Russian theme night out and we had an amazing time. Should I ever have another theme out with a different group I would not hesitate to go here again. The music was Russian and the guy singing on stage was as Russian as you can find them. We had made a deal with them, to get a three course meal with vodka. There was way too much food, so I felt a little bad about all the food that would get wasted, but the food was amazing and was traditional. I am Danish so the foods are not that different, so it was like a little piece of home. With all the vodka that we got served I am not shy to say that a couple of people did fall asleep by the table during the many hours of eating and drinking. For the rest of us we continued the party across the street. An unforgettable night at this place and they even do Karaoke on Thursdays. The decor of the place is what you would imagine from the name, it is a sea decor with ships wheels and nets and fake fish and much more. A fun and not to serious decor that makes you feel like you stepped into another universe. The service was fast, but not too fast, it was polite and they did not fuss too much about the big group and the noise level that we obviously did not make better. All in all I had a great time here and I would recommend going here for either a Russian feel or as a group to have fun. read more

Been here a few times now and each time makes me more impressed than the last about how much effort actually goes into making of the food. It's traditional Russian and they really do try to make it as traditional as possible. I have gotten a range of different things from here and the one thing I will say is no matter what kind of meat you get, be it chicken, beef or pork, it just melts in your mouth. It's cooked to perfection. The wait time for the food is not the quickest but there is other things like live music to keep you occupied. It's rather difficult to find this place empty during the evening so I would definitely book in advance! read more

My husband and I were there at the beginning of October 2017. On Sunday my husband felt very sick and evidenced signs of food poisoning, with high fever. The day after we noticed some red spots on his skin; the doctor confirmed that he got some form of food intoxication (most likely Salmonella). Despite we do not have proof, we are certain that this was caused by some meet which my husband had at Admiral, specifically "beef tongue", which was the only food that we didnt share. We warned the restaurant about this but they did not show any collaboration nor sympathy. read more

As most reviews are saying - "GOOD RUSSIAN FOOD". The staff is also very freindly and the place itself is quite nice. It is litterally like being on a boat, the bathroom mirrors even opens the same way a window would do on a ship (+1 for interior detail). We had a team sport event there with 40+ guest and they even supplied a singer as part of the menu. While having cocktails and listening the voice of the singer, they brought in a barrage of food. Little did we know that this was only the starter, so come the main dish none was in the state of having dessert. Great place, great value for money and good food. Well worth your hard earned money! read more

Never knew this place existed but glad I got to try it out. Service is a bit slow so if your looking for a quick bite, then your in the wrong place. 2 courses for 13.50 with a glass of wine or Guinness, amazing. I didn't go for it myself and ended up spending nearly 30 quid but rather that and get something I like. I got the deep fried dumplings. Omg, hello and where have ye been. Gorgeous! Main was pork topped with tomato and cheese. So low in fat lol. Went down a treat. Tucked away off the main street, it needs some good reviews. read more

Good Russian food in Ireland! Came here with some colleagues, one of whom is Russian and recommends it, so I guess that's a good vouch for authenticity. Large plates of meat that are reasonably priced. There was a buy one get one free kebab special going on which would have been a ton of food if we got extra. read more

The pork ribs are outstanding! Service is good. Excellent choices on the menu! Plus apparently now 2 for 1 cocktails Monday to Thursday! read more

Admiral Restaurant - Russian Near Me - Dublin, D

A great restaurant in a slightly unlikely location - off O'Connell St in the direction of Summerhill :) (not any close to it, do not worry, just in its direction). Talking of locations, I don't mind. It's a few dozen metres from two of Dublin's premium hotels & a hundred metres from Parnell St with its Asian dining/living inclinations. The more options off main streets the better Great food: fresh, well presented, decent-sized portions, affordably priced. A variety of sitting options, and some of the sitting in there is just too good for most of Dublin. Been twice there & service was proper on both. If I was based in Dublin, would be among my favourite dining haunts read more

Very good impression.. I went with my family and everyone was pleased with the food. I ordered fried dumplings and avocado/salmon salad. I think the salad was the best plate..What i enjoyed less was the boiled dumplings with the ricotta cheese, their taste was kinda "heavy" for me. I like they don't squeeze the tables, so we were very comfortable. The personnel was very polite plus the menu was very explanatory with pictures for very plate. read more

i'm a big fan of the skewers here but some of the other food i've tried has not been as good. Its rare to find a decent russian resturant, the russian tv they have in the background is entertainingly bizarre also! read more

If you are looking for something that little bit different. Not many can say they have tried authentic Russian cuisine and this is the only place to do just that. Good portion sizes and really strong cocktails. read more

Amazing place! All the food I tasted was great and the service was excellent. Will definitely come more often. You can never get tired of russian food! read more

Well its fine. I was disappointed with the service after my visit. Two people ordered two seperate dishes and didnt have any of them. Bad start. Waited 45 minutes for food while it wasnt even busy. Food was good though. read more
