Buttermilk Chicken
S R.

While staying in The Liberties section of Dublin, we stumbled upon Copper Alley Bistro. We were pleasantly surprised by our experience. The restaurant is cute and the food was delicious. The prices were reasonable considering the portion size. We loved the Buttermilk chicken sandwich and the Korean chicken.

Best fish & chips I ever ever had
Liberty G.

Absolutely wonderful food matched by the beyond lovely staff. We had four delicious meals since we were staying at the attached Harding Hotel. Great friendly atmosphere, well lit dining area with beautiful stained glass and conveniently located across from Christ's Church. All the staff were so friendly, personable and extra sweet to my mom. They really made us feel welcome on our first night in Dublin. Dining as a family of five we each ordered a variety of food and shared amongst ourselves. Enjoyed were the full Irish and vegetarian breakfasts, beef Guinness stew (very rich), Irish smoked salmon with eggs, their signature omelette, homemade seafood chowder (perfection), brioche french toast, brown bread with butter, Irish soda bread (addictive), Korean chicken wings, and a variety of beers and cocktails. The stand out star by far was the fish & chips--large pieces, light & airy breading, no excess oil. Really the best I've ever eaten. I would say that the portions served of everything was very generous, so bring your appetite.

Full Irish breakfast yummy!
Liz M.

Did someone say full Irish breakfast? Yes please. My friend and I enjoyed this breakfast so much. It hit the spot! Food was fresh, well seasoned, great portion sizes. Cute decor and great customer service. They have other items on the menu but you can't go wrong with the full Irish breakfast. It was delicious and I'll definitely come back here if I'm back in Dublin.

Fish and chips
Ann L.

We had a great lunch here on a rainy afternoon. I had the seafood chowder and it was wonderful. It featured a huge portion of mussels along with salmon, prawns, and other fish (I think maybe haddock). Everything was flavorful and fresh and the broth was excellent. The chowder came with fresh bread and butter. This plus a pot of tea was a great way to warm up before heading back out for more sightseeing. Others in my group had the stew and fish and chips; they greatly enjoyed their meals as well. Service was excellent and the atmosphere was relaxed with lovely decor.

We had breakfast here & the food was fantastic! I had the french toast & my husband had eggs, bacon, tomato, & mushrooms. Everything was delicious & the staff was so friendly!

Beef stew
Maurice L.

Popped in for a bite to eat. The resultant was clean, the staff was pleasant and very attentive. I was seated right away. I had the beef stew and I was absolutely delicious!! The chocolate eclair was just ok but the ice cream that came with is was amazing.

Chicken sandwich with chips
Kyllie S.

Great food... cute little spot to sit and watch the busy streets of Dublin. Service was quick and attentive. Food was delicious. Definitely recommend stopping here especially after visiting the Dublin castle.

Darkey Kelly's wouldn't seat is with a child so they sent us next door and we were not disappointed. For our first real meal in Ireland this set a great tone! Everything was amazing, especially the desert. The portions were huge and the service was great.

It was not too loud in our seats by the window where we could watch the action in Temple Bar. Boxty - think of a potato version of a crepe (a little thicker) - Gaelic boxty - 4/5 solid offering with a generous portion of steak on top of the boxty and with mushrooms and mushroom sauce - Chicken boxty - 4/5 chicken breast wrapped in boxty with a roasted red pepper on top and slice of chorizo (I didn't care much for the chorizo but my partner happily ate it) with tasty sauce with cooked chopped onions - concannon - 4/5 basically mashed potatoes on top of a little bit of cooked kale (said cabbage too but I didn't see it) - green beans with lemon and goat cheese - 4/5, tangy lemon forward I know people say this is touristy and that is likely since it is in Temple Bar and I don't see why that's a problem! Definitely worth trying when you're in the area.

Our first meal in Dublin was at The Old Mill Restaurant, right in the heart of Temple Bar. It's been serving traditional Irish fare since the 1980s and has become a favorite stop for both locals and visitors looking for classic comfort food. After about a 20-minute wait, we were seated in the warm, inviting dining room. Susan ordered the mussels, one of her favorites, while I went with the Traditional Irish Stew and my daughter chose the Braised Beef & Guinness Stew. Both were exactly what we hoped for: hearty, flavorful, and perfect after a day of sightseeing. I finally understood why the Guinness stew had such a rich, dark color, and I have to admit, I came home a big fan of Irish stew. We finished with the Homemade Bread & Butter Pudding topped with fresh cream and custard, a comforting dessert that was the perfect ending to the meal. Service, atmosphere, value, and food were all five out of five. We also enjoyed chatting with the floor manager, whose pride in the restaurant and his team was obvious. That kind of hospitality made a great meal even more memorable.

If you're lucky enough to have Vinni as your server, you're in for a fantastic meal and an even better dining experience.

My husband and I stopped by for dinner and I ordered a caesar salad and their fish chowder. The caesar was great but my gosh the fish chowder and accompanying brown bread rocked my socks. So, much so, that I did what I never do--I revisited this spot more than once on the same trip (so many places to explore I almost never do this!). That fish chowder is craveable. They do live music on occasion as well and so we were able to enjoy that while sipping our Guinness. The prices are reasonable and the service is friendly. They aren't as small as they look at first glance, on one of our visits, we sat upstairs which has a second dining area. Amazing! Get to it!

The restaurant itself is cozy and very warm. A great night was had by all!
