Byrnes of Galloping Green in Dublin

01/09/2026: Ryleigh’s is one of the rare places in the neighborhood that opens at 8 am for breakfast. And what a way to start your day with the pork belly toast (€17). It’s more gratifying than a full Irish breakfast served in most places. Pair it with tomato juice to cut through the fatty goodness. All this, with great views of the river.

30/08/2026: The restaurant, its ambiance, and the service were all excellent. My husband, my twelve-year-old son, and I had dinner there, and we absolutely loved the restaurant, the decor, the food, and the atmosphere. The open kitchen makes it entertaining to watch them prepare the dishes. The most popular dish, and the one we ordered, was a Tomahawk steak with a choice of sides, which was outstanding. The homemade dessert was also very elaborate and top-notch. Both the maître d' and the waitress were incredibly friendly and attentive. It's located a bit outside the city center, but easily accessible, very modern, and also quite attractive. The terrace has lovely views of the River Liffey. Everything was perfect, but I would especially highlight the service and the professionalism of the chefs.
