If you're visiting Dublin and want to get a feel of Irish life where friends meet for a pint, where…read moreit's loud, and looking for some pub food, you need to come to Brannigans. Tonight was my first visit and I got the roast of the day which was roast beef. Coming from the US where portion sizes tend to be larger than your average European portion size, this even threw me for a loop. For €19.95 you get your protein, mashed potatoes, seasonal vegetables, and stuffing. Needless to say I couldn't finish it all but the food was so good. Service was busy as they were attending to their customers but if you needed anything they were quick when you got their attention. The servers were friendly as well.

The falafel wrap was shockingly good. The falafel was moist and not dry or flaky which can happen. The onion rings were also great. Shepherd's Pie was ok. But next time would order something else. Overall a good experience.

Everything we had was so good and made for a really memorable meal. The service was exceptional as well.

If you're visiting Dublin and looking for delicious, traditional Irish food in a fun and welcoming atmosphere, I definitely recommend Boxty House!

Had a solid dinner experience at the Boxty House tonight; in and out in an hour and we didn't feel…read morerushed. 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.

I was in Dublin for a couple of nights after a wonderful cruise around Scotland. While on a walking…read moretour, the tour guide recommended this place. Two friends joined me later for dinner. The place was packed. We enjoyed our dinner (I had the Beef & Guinness Stew along with a glass of red wine) while listening to live music. The only downside for us is that the waiter wouldn't give separate checks.

I understand the hype this is definitely a popular spot in the Temple Bar area. Several tourists…read morerecommended it to us, so we decided to give it a try. They had a live band playing inside, but there wasn't any seating available, so we sat outside. Thankfully, it was sunny, dry, and in the low 70s, which made for a pleasant afternoon. The ordering process was interesting--you order at the bar and let them know which seating area you'll be using. As for the food, it was pretty traditional bar fare, so I'm not really sure what I expected. I wasn't disappointed, but I wasn't blown away either. I went with the bangers and mash, which was decent, although I found the gravy to be a little on the sweet side. The prices were slightly higher than most of the other places we visited in Dublin, but still felt fair given the location and atmosphere.

What a great little find. Not on the super touristy road, but a delight nonetheless-the-less. We…read morewaited a bit to be seated, but otherwise it was a quick service. I recommend reviewing the menu before arrival. The Beef Stew was absolutely the start dish. Great flavors, textures, and temp. A herbal delightful dish with some veggies and great mashed potatoes. The fish and chips were good, the batter light on flavor but still fresh. && the house white wine was wonderful. They do have a courtyard for drinks if that is more your fancy. If in the area, stop by this place is great!

Hadn't really had pub food yet, so why not visit the oldest pub in Dublin? We walked in and were seated inside. Tho there's a patio if you just want a quick drink and maybe some app. Overall, I think the food was okay. The salad was probably the best thing in my opinion. I found the stew and chowder on the saltier side. And I love salt. Irish coffee was fine. I typically like mie stiffer, but I could have asked for an extra shot if I really wanted it. Worth a visit, but maybe don't order a full on meal. I don't think the dishes were worth the price. We also didn't finish the majority and this was our first meal of the day. REVIEW #4128

We were waited on by servers as well as the lovely bartender, Bella. Great service all around! I ordered the seafood chowder and I will be dreaming about this meal for a long time. It was loaded with fresh fish and so perfectly seasoned. The portion size was excellent - I wish more places offered smaller portions like this. The drinks were wonderful and made with care. Bella came by to chat with us before we left and it was obvious she loves her job. This is a lovely pub to enjoy while visiting Dublin!

It is a bit of a tight space but makes it such a unique and cozy space. For a set price, they have a menu (I assume it rotates based on what is sourced for the week or season?). We started with some olives, and some bread with duck butter "Navettes of bread/Achill Island Sea salt/duck butter". The duck butter was so good, I wanted to lick the serving container. I resorted to scraping as much out as I could. My starter was absolutely amazing. It was the "Foie gras crème/Brioche/apple/sauternes/grape". So delicious, I am still thinking about it. The main I had was the Skeaghanore duck breast. The sauce was amazing, however the duck was just ok. I think if it were sliced into smaller medallions, it would have been easier to eat. I struggled to cut it into bite sized pieces even though I was provided with a good knife. The 2 pieces were a hearty serving as well. It would be more palatable (I found it a bit tough) if it were presented with smaller cut medallion pieces (with crispy skin would be amazing!) I had tasted my friend's filet of prime Irish beef, and while it is a nice presentation, they both left their sides untouched. Overall, I feel like The Vintage Kitchen had a few hits and misses. Still fun spot to try out though! Desserts were amazing, we just were so full by then! The price at the time was €72 and although there were hits and misses, the portions served imho was worth the price.
