The spicy chicken wings are extremely good - although one portion is certainly enough for two as a started. The burgers are also very good. My only criticism is the service. it was extremely poor. the food was practically thrown down and when it came to paying we were simply left to our own devices with the credit card machine... more

We went here twice on our recent trip to Dublin, had wings both times, they are fabulous! Small, crunchy and tasty. We also had burgers (big, homemade and yummy). I had the pesto burger and partner had chilli burger which he said was great. However, next time I'd just have the wings and a side of chips, as there are... more

My husband and I tried to have dinner here one night but since the wait was over and hour we came back the next day for lunch. My husband ordered the wings and I ordered a burger. The wings were great and plenty to go around! Right in the middle of Temple Bar, this resto is easy and comfortable. more

After discovering this place I ate almost every meal here. The lamb, pasta with pepper and pasta with goat cheese were all delicious. The prices were pretty much equal to or less than prices in local pubs which mostly have standard Guinness stew and shepards pie. more

We chanced upon the Elephant and Castle after our morning flight into Dublin. We were looking for breakfast and had no problem getting a table at 11 am. My partner had the 'full Irish' and I had the granola, yogurt and honey - with a side order of soda bread toast. I was very impressed with what was on offer,... more

We had a difficult time finding a decent meal in Dublin, but a local friend recommended Elephant and Castle. Despite being located in the touristy Temple Bar, the food was fantastic and the prices were reasonable. I would eat here again if I went back to Dublin. more

Strolled around Temple Bar on Good Friday & decided to venture in based on the pleaseant exterior. Very unfriendly owner/manager laughed at us when we asked for a table - told us there was a half an hour wait. very rude staff is a big turn off for me! walked straight out of there! more

Enjoyable

Always bustling restaurant in Temple Bar had a nice atmosphere and served good food. I had Fish & Chips which were very good and came in a nice sized portion. The prices were about average. I'd suggest a reservation if you choose to go. more

Overall quite average. The house wine was good value but the chicken wings for taste and sheer volume are the best in the world and them alone worth the visit more
