Alma in Dublin

17/05/2026: Based on a tip from the blog "Dit is Anna", we reserved a table here for dinner. Beautiful location opposite Trinity College and a pleasant atmosphere. The food was good and tasty. The host was somewhat moody and rushed. When paying the bill, we were surprised by a 12.5% ​​service charge on top of the bill; this was not mentioned anywhere on the menu. We did not pay this service charge, and they refused to accept the tip we gave by rounding the amount up to €200.00. This unpleasant aftertaste ruined what was otherwise a nice dinner.

17/05/2026: This is a restaurant I was introduced to by a local acquaintance during my first visit to Dublin in 2019, and it left a very strong impression on me. I wanted to go again on this trip, so I revisited it. I visited on my second day in Dublin. I was a little tired after sightseeing at Newgrange and suffering from jet lag, so I didn't have much of an appetite, but I enjoyed a light meal with wine. I ordered the soup from "The Old Dubliner," Salmon Gravlax, and "Jammets" Mixed Grill. All the dishes were carefully prepared and delicious. I was particularly satisfied with the salmon and the grilled dishes. However, perhaps due to my physical condition or expectations, this visit didn't quite reach the same level of "Wow!" as my first visit in 2019. Nevertheless, it remains a wonderful restaurant where you can enjoy a relaxing meal in Dublin. I was happy to revisit this memorable place.
