The two owners were so wonderful, and both came to speak with us by the end of the dining experience. The food was unreal. Such good options with so many different styles of cuisine. Everything we ate was so impressive and tasty. I would recommend specifics, but I'd be listing out the 20 menu items we ordered. Their drinks were just as fabulous as the food. Great vibe in the place as well. Good lighting and fun environment right in the heart of Dublin. You seriously can not go wrong. DO YOURSELF A HUGE FAVOR AND MAKE A RESERVATION!

Vanessa (one of the owners) is there helping you out and welcoming you as if you're family. Lovely atmosphere, honestly. We ordered these tapas for a party of two: chicharrones, chorizo frito y morcilla, carrillada de cerdo (pork cheeks), bomba de la Barcelona, and patatas bravas. I can't pick a favorite (but the pork cheeks, and the chorizo are up there!), but every tapa was incredible and well executed. Take your time, be adventurous, and explore the menu. Portions are small enough that you can order many things to share. Paired the tapas with a wonderful Tempranillo, and a Cava Sangria. They did start us with a free sample of their tinto de verano as well, in true Spanish fashion. Definitely worth visiting while in Dublin!

I did notice that other people who came in after me were offered a choice of inside or outside, but they just put me inside. By the time I left, it was pretty busy in there, so reservations might be good. I was looking at the lunch tasting menu, but decided against it because I didn't want all of those courses. Then later, I heard them offering other people a glass of wine instead of the starter. I would've totally done that if I knew that was an option. When I ordered, the server asked if I would like bread with that and I said yes, and then I noticed later that I was charged €3 for it. It felt like it was a complimentary offer. The service was pretty fast and I got my food quickly as well. I ordered a chicken dish in sauce, and it was pretty salty. I brought half of it home and put it over pasta thinking that it might cut the saltiness, but it was still there.

Wine arrived quickly and not far behind it, the food. Presentation was perfect, it all looked inviting and interesting but sadly the food itself was not up to scratch - don't get me wrong, it wasn't bad but some bits were definitely lacking, notable among them was a sort of macaroni and cheese thing that totally didn't work. Overall I wouldn't mind going back, I reckon with the right dishes, more time and a couple of bottles of wine the place would be amazing!

The platter is excellent value, the dishes were uniformly good, and there's ample food for one. A few of the group tried other menu items. I didn't hear a negative comment from anyone, and the consensus was that we'd be back. Service was friendly, pleasant and relaxed. They also have some interesting beers. I asked which ones they have and stopped him at the first one I hadnt tried before- Barcino Gotic (pleasant enough pale ale). By the time we'd finished, the place was filling up, but we weren't pressured to leave as we lingered chatting while our digestive systems got to work. Nice decor too and some outdoor seating on picturesque (!) Drumcondra Road, which will be useful 3 or 4 nights a year (last night was one of those nights actually). All in all, a pleasant and good value experience. Update 23 August: came here just after 7pm but, after checking, the waitress said we could still have the early bird platter, which stops at 7pm. And now I see why it's getting mixed reviews. Clearly there was a different chef on duty this evening and, rather than being uniformly good, the dishes on the platter were mediocre to poor. Had this been my first experience here, i wouldnt return.

Tapas Near Temple Bar!…read more This is an excellent change of pace just up from the noisiest parts of Temple Bar. The cheeses were the best of the tapas we chose.

For our final dinner in Ireland, we chose Etto, another restaurant recognized by the Michelin…read moreGuide. Located just off St. Stephen's Green, Etto is a cozy neighborhood bistro serving modern European cuisine with French influences while showcasing excellent Irish ingredients. The restaurant is small, energetic, and, at least on the evening we visited, quite noisy. We were initially seated at the bar but appreciated being moved to a table near the entrance, where it was much easier to carry on a conversation. The menu is intentionally concise, with selections divided into nibbles, starters, mains, sides, and desserts. We began with oysters, followed by the potato rösti and mussels. For our mains, I ordered Salter's pork with French bean salad and apricot mustard, while my daughter chose the cavatelli. She really enjoyed the pasta, but I found the pork a bit underwhelming. It simply didn't leave the impression I was hoping for. We also shared the Abercorn salad, which was fresh and lightly dressed with a creamy vinaigrette. The highlight of the evening was dessert. The Strawberry Sundae, made with sheep's milk ice cream and hibiscus meringue, was one of the best desserts we enjoyed anywhere in Ireland. Our server, Luca, was excellent throughout the meal, offering helpful recommendations and attentive service. While Etto was probably our least memorable Michelin Guide meal of the trip, it was still a pleasant evening with outstanding service and a dessert I'll be thinking about for a long time.
