If you're in Dublin, do yourself a favor and stop by Gotham Cafe. We ended up visiting twice during our trip because our first experience was so good -- and the second visit somehow topped it! On my first visit, I ordered the warm seasonal salad, and it was absolutely delicious. Fresh, flavorful, and perfectly balanced -- it felt comforting but still light. You can tell they really care about quality ingredients and thoughtful preparation. The second time around, I tried the vegan burger, and wow -- easily one of the best I've had. It was hearty, well-seasoned, and satisfying without feeling heavy. Even if you're not vegan, it's worth trying. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, and the staff were friendly both times we visited. Consistency can be hard to find when traveling, but Gotham Cafe nailed it twice in a row. Would 100% return on our next trip to Dublin!
We stopped in here after a long day of shopping! The servers were nice and the buffalo chicken calzone (folded pizza? I forget the name) was amazing. It was served with a nice salad and some guacamole, but the whole thing was amazing. I finished it all. The place seemed lively and had a few groups eating in there while we were there. I wish I could have this again lol
We just went here for our first day in Ireland. The staff was very helpful and welcoming. I love all of the pizza options!
Ate here recently for lunch as we casually walked around the shopping district in Dublin. Though the restaurant was very tight and crowded the food was pretty decent. I did not know that my pizza would come with a bunch of arugula piled high in the middle of the pie, but other than that I was pleased with the pizza that I ordered. The name of it currently is escaping me. The service was very good as well. People with me agreed this was a nice stop.
A trendy spot in Dublin for the younger crowd. After reading the reviews of fellow Yelpers it appears I made a wrong choice of what I ordered so I partially blame this review on myself. It seems like pizza is the thing to get here and now I am sad that I didn't. I ordered the curry and rice. Although it was an okay dish it was both lacking the heartiness of curry at local pubs or the flavor profile of a Thai curry. It came off as a dish that wasn't quite imitating a proper curry from any culture. I did think that the presentation, the ambiance here and the service was all pretty good. I am not sure I'd return since it wasn't one of the more memorable meals that I had in Ireland, especially for dinner.
Lively cafe off the shopping district of Grafton Street. We met up with friends who come here often whenever they're in town. It has a family friendly menu and the pizzas come in two sizes. We were able to reserve a table at lunch for our large group. It does get a bit loud during the height of lunch hour but we were able to hear one another. Once we were served, we really didn't get much attention from the wait staff. We needed to ask for condiments like ketchup and vinegar. Our food was pretty decent but nothing really stood out in flavor. I'd return again for the convenience.
Very nice staff, good pizza, great drinks and cosmos that are not that expensive! Nice, relaxed environment. Free WIFI! Just ask for the password.
Excellent food, I have had many a good meal here over the years! the portions may not be huge, but the combinations of flavours are second to none! The service always comes with a smile the staff are polite and always willing to help. :) When it gets really busy it is hard to hear what your saying, but the atmosphere of the place becomes electric ... but then again I usually go to restaurants to eat not to talk, so it really doesn't bother me ;)
This is where we held the UYE Coronation Brunch for Dublin Yelp Queen Fiona L. 8 yelpers including the Queen herself attended the event! This was my first time here, I chose from the Brunch menu (which is only available on Sundays or Bank Holidays) I went for the chicken ciabatta which came with side portion of chips, (see attached photograph). It tasted nice but the chicken was a little bit cold, the sauce was tasty and warm though. Other yelpers opted for a desert type of brunch - banana pancakes and french toast, I had a taste of both of these and they were delicious especially the french toast and maple syrup, yum! The place is spacious with friendly staff, who brought us all glasses of water while we were waiting to order( I like places that bring you water without you having to ask!) All the walls are covered in framed rolling stones magazines with iconic images on the cover. Cool vibe to the place and lovely for a nice Sunday brunch! I will probably go for a desert when I go back again :)
Gotham is something different! Have been in there yesterday since a year or so, used to go here of lunch quite a lot when I was working in the area too. They have great deals and choices for all kind of types - if you prefer healthy or munchie. The style of the cafe/restaurant is amazing, Rolling Stone magazine covers. American Diner style but chic. Food is more Mediterranean I'd say, the pizza is really nice, crispy, fresh and good amount on topics on it..the salads are worth the money too and also antipasti platter - yum yum yum. Wouldn't go for starter and main without doing the lunch deal, as the starters are only ok-ish, they could have some less random choices.
Not bad, not amazing. Just above average. Came here with the family recently for some food. Read good things online and it was in a suitable area. We all ordered some drinks, a starter, main and a dessert. The starter came out and was pretty great I must admit. If you do go here, get the garlic butter prawns. Rich in texture and flavour, a decent size portion and presented very well. I think this may have gotten my hopes up somewhat for the main. Now okay, I did order pizza, probably not the best thing to judge the place by but still felt like they could have done a little bit better. The pizza was plain, lacking a certain something that I can't exactly put my finger on. The expectation of a restaurant pizza for me is that it would have a different taste to one ordered from the local delivery place, maybe a different tasting dough, a special sauce or even just a selection of unusual toppings. This claimed to have the odd toppings and a funky name to go with it but for some reason I felt like I had just gotten my regular Dominos or Mizzoni's. The fontina cheese and baby potatoes were almost non existent. One of the other meal ordered was fish, with a mixture of seafood and sauce. The waiters and chefs did very well to accommodate in making the fish without the sauce as requested and it still turned out rather nice from what I hear. Our dessert was brought out shortly after we had selected it from the menu but we were left waiting for coffee and tea, a good ten minutes, it got to the point where we had to call a waiter. When the coffee did finally arrive, the Gotham Cheesecake went down along with it. Such a filling flavour, a unique taste and a decent size slice. One other small thing was the music that was playing in the background during our meal there. An odd selection that did not personally bother me but did the people I was with, and apparently the people sitting across from us too as they politely asked the staff to change it. Overall I feel three stars is fair, I will return to order something entirely different with the intention and hope of having to review my review.
I have walked past here numerous times but only paid it a visit very recently for a quick lunch. Great menu with lots of choices! You can spend anything from €10 up for a good meal. I got the mushroom mozzarella and pesto panini and I asked for prosciutto on top as I wouldn't make the world's best vegetarian The food came and looked and tasted great. Big portion sizes which are always a plus for a hungry student! The staff were really friendly and helpful and I would have no problem recommending this place as a venue!
The food was brilliant! Went here for brunch on Sunday, we got the Mexican eggs and poached eggs and bacon. The only bad things were that the eggs in the Mexican eggs weren't runny which I like but that's not too big a deal. :) I also asked for extra bacon with the Mexican eggs and it was no problem! The service was brilliant at the start however they were slow to clear our plates when we finished.

The early bird menu is great value: two mains and two starters/desserts for €17. I'm picky about my pizza so I was pretty happy with the wide range. We went for the roast duck with scallions, cashew nuts and hoisin sauce. Delicious! The chips are tasty too and the beefburger was damn fine. We were going to sit outside until we saw the tables being dive bombed by pigeons but the indoor seating was nice and comfy, decor is low key and relaxing. What else? The service is good, staff are friendly. I'll be returning! read more

When i approached this restaurant, i was terrified it was going to be horribly juvenile, (like an expensive Eddie Rockets) but i was delighted to find a seriously well curated menu outside the door, so i decided to eat there by myself for the evening. SERIOUSLY GUYS, it was magical, i felt like a proper princess. Try the Gotham bubbles elderberry prosecco if you can. It comes in a dainty glass with a dollop of sorbet on top! Makes me feel like the love child of Carrie Bradshaw and Bruce Wayne when i eat there. The lighting down the back of the restaurant could be better, i sat at the front by the windows where it wasn't cramped. The bathrooms were lovely. I would avoid the battered squid starter next time, but perhaps that might just be my personal preferences. read more

This place has such a unique menu compared to many other restaurants in the area! We ordered pizza and both really enjoyed it. They were new and exciting flavors and it was very reasonably priced. Perfect portion size. One star off for very slow service, but they were friendly. read more

I've always liked Gotham. I go here for lunch sometimes. It's a great location, the service is good, and the food is nice. I usually tend to be quite boring and opt for the chicken Caesar salad, which is always great, but last time I visited I went KER-AZY and had the evening special - which was an Indian chicken dish with steamed rice, cashew nuts and like a home-made tzatziki thing. It was really good. My favourite part is their desserts though - they do a great cheesecake and I would get up in the middle of the night for their sticky toffee pudding. That and a glass of their pinot grigio...yum! read more

Have eaten here a few times and it does a perfectly adequate job for lunch time. The place is nice & bright and they have some nice seats outside if it's *shock* sunny out. This place usually gets really busy around lunchtime so coming early is advised. They do a fine selection of pizzas, burgers etc., the last time I was there I had the prawn salad. It was a fine sized portion but they just went too cray cray on the oil for my liking. Half the salad was soggy because of it, I didn't mind a whole lot because it still tasted fine but it was just a weird texture. Apart from that, the staff were friendly and courteous & the prices are slightly above average but still fairly reasonable. In short: A fine lunchtime spot if you're stuck for ideas & want some reliable & healthy choices, just don't expect to be blown away by it. read more
This was a popular restaurant off Grafton Street, a lively shopping street in Dublin not far from the Temple Bar area. We did not have a reservation (suggested) but managed to get seated. Our table was not the most desirable spot, by the door and the cold would chill us every time someone came in, but we were starving! The restaurant has a trendy non pretentious vibe serving wood burning pizzas, salads, soups and other traditional American fare. I started with a creamy vegetable soup which was hot and delicious and followed by a huge calzone which came with greens. Service was attentive and friendly. I would definitely come back when in the area. read more

The Gotham Cafe is another a go-to spot for me. It's a nice and bright cafe located on South Anne Street. The staff are lovely and friendly. It's always busy enough but I've never been able to not get a table instantly. When I go to a restaurant that I know I usually always get the same thing and in Gotham it's the Chargrilled Herbed Chicken Ciabatta Sandwich. It's basically chicken covered in the most delicious sauce of all time. It's so nice that it's really hard not to get it. But recently I went and got the poached eggs with avocado and it was also really delicious. I think I would recommend it more as a lunch spot over dinner. I went there for dinner once and got a pizza which was pretty disappointing. I think the lunch menu finishes at 5pm. Overall it's a nice place and reasonably priced but in my opinion it's a 9/10 lunch spot but a 6/10 dinner spot. read more
I used to come here all time time when I was younger. So I very fond memories of this place. I went back for a Sunday lunch with the girls and it didn't disappoint. It had been years since I ate here and the food was just as I remembered. Scrumptious.. Well the pizzas anyway. My friend got the Thai green curry it was below average but cmon! You should have ordered the pizza!!!! Starters were just OK. We had garlic prawns and pita with dip. read more
