El Celler in Dublin

This place should be better known! We have been several times and each time it has been really delightful. This time we had visitors from the USA, so were a large party. We ordered all the starters, all the tapas, some albondigas and all the desserts (with extra churros for the youngest person). Everything was terrific and an education in tapas. It really tastes like you are in Spain or, more precisely, Catalunya. We got to try so many different things and it was certainly enough food. The price was very fair for Dublin and the wine is good value too, with relatively little markup. The staff were lovely, as always, and very keen to help, in this case for us to sit outside. Our tip: order lots of bread to soak up the sauces.

An absolute gem! The space is stunning and the staff are so welcoming. Our waitress was super knowledgeable about the menu and made excellent recommendations. We ended up opting for the tasting menu. There were four of us, three omnivores and one vegan (me), and our waitress ensured that there were plenty of options for all of us to be satisfied. Highlights were the asparagus and the aubergine ❤️ but everyone enjoyed it all. We had a lot of food but only needed to bring a little home with us. We heated the patatas bravas for breakfast this morning and I’ve just had leftover stuffed pasta for my dinner this evening! Desserts were gorgeous. The truffle in particular was dreamy and is vegan! Lots of great drink options. Our waitress even made up a mocktail for me since I’m pregnant. Very well priced. Can’t wait to return!

Such an amazing night. Maria was our server and she was so kind and attentive and even recommended the best dishes for a variety of needs and preferences. If you want the authentic experience, come here. Great food, great service, great attention.

Feels like dining as a family member in spain. Great recommendations from the server. The shitake mushrooms sharing plater,t akes a whole new spin on pistachio food. 100% divine and the wine was paired perfectly. They know there craft and share it well.

This place is really special. Outstanding menu, everything is cooked to perfection. Real artfulness in balance of flavours. I stumbled across this gem on an overnight work trip and was so blown away by how completely delicious and beautiful everything was. Great service and beautiful space for a date or intimate celebration. This is a really special place. Don’t miss out!

As a Catalan, I have to say that the restaurant has a lot of potential due to its good location and its unique culinary offering compared to other restaurants in Dublin and Blackrock, but the food really lacked flavor. I went with my partner and we ordered dishes to share: croquettes, Spanish omelet, and spinach and pine nut cannelloni. The croquettes lacked flavor; they tasted too much like béchamel sauce and not enough like chicken, and they were also very expensive (3 croquettes for €12). The Spanish omelet was the worst thing we ordered; it tasted too strongly of garlic and pepper, ingredients that a Spanish omelet shouldn't have, and the potatoes were poorly cut. Furthermore, the onions weren't caramelized, which was what the menu stated. The cannelloni was surprisingly the best of the three dishes, but I think that was also because of the quantity. It's a bit pricey and quite salty, which was meant to give it flavor, but it was bland. The staff was very friendly and the service was excellent, but perhaps the cuisine needs some improvement to be more traditionally Catalan.

Really lovely place for dinner! Amazing service and tasty food.

As a big tapas lover was so nice to find a local place that serves authentic tapas in Dublin. But the service is best part.

We had a lovely birthday celebration with the tasting menu for 10 people at El Celler in the Blackrock Market and we all ready enjoyed it! The good really was excellent and the staff were very friendly and attentive. Thanks so much for a lovely meal out!

What a cozy hidden gem. Highly highly recommend.
