Balfes in Dublin

Dropped in for some drinks 🍸 and cocktails, along with a few glasses of wine, and what a lovely experience it was! This is such a beautiful little spot tucked away just off the hustle and bustle of Grafton Street, making it the perfect place to escape the busy city and catch up with friends. The location itself is fantastic, with a really classy and relaxed atmosphere. It has that perfect balance of being lively without feeling too hectic, and it’s a great place to sit back, enjoy a drink and simply watch the world go by. Although we were mainly there for drinks, the food coming out looked absolutely fantastic and definitely gave us a reason to come back for another visit! 🍽️ What really stood out, though, was the staff. They were so, so, so friendly, welcoming and attentive throughout our visit, which made the whole experience even better. Great service can make such a difference, and they certainly got it right. If you’re looking for a stylish, relaxed and welcoming spot just off Grafton Street to enjoy cocktails, wine, good food and great company, I honestly couldn’t recommend this place highly enough. Highly recommended!

A very good experience. We went as a family with a large group (11 people). The food was very good, accompanied by excellent service. The atmosphere was very pleasant. We had a great brunch. Good location.

We went for Sunday brunch and really wanted to love this place, but sadly left disappointed. My husband’s Benedict was pretty good — a solid 7/10 — but my blueberry pancakes were a hard miss. They were overly dense, undercooked, and frankly nowhere near good enough to justify the price. The coffee was also pretty average, especially for such an establishment. The atmosphere is lovely, and if that’s what you’re coming for — or you’re not particularly fussy about your breakfast — you may really enjoy it. But for us, the combination of high prices, very disappointing pancakes, and subpar coffee means we probably won’t be back. Such a shame, because we genuinely wanted to like this place!

Went for brunch, ordered eggs Benedict, the sauce was mayonnaise… and the ham was rubbery and tasteless

A brilliant experience at Balfe’s! The team were so friendly and knowledgeable. Sean, Manuel, Miguel, and Vlad were very enthusiastic. Food and drink were superb.

Awesome food and great service from everyone including A. Carcamo

The place is lovely and the servers were nice but the food wasn’t great especially considering the price….. €18 for avo toast and the avo was brown and there was about 2 pieces of red onion on the plate and 2 tomatoes. Coffee was nice but would not be going back for the food.
