Elephant & Castle in Dublin

Everything perfect - full of people but very fast and everything excellent - not even expensive compared to around... returned twice in 3 days.

One of those places that has a dish you absolutely must try at least once in your life. The chicken wings with their special spicy sauce are totally addictive.

The wings are the typical dish there. I 100% recommend them.

Visiting ireland our family took us in for a meal in temple and what an amazing restaurant this place is. We order wings to share for the starter and was blown away how good these chicken wings were . I understand why they are hyped up so much!!! Then i went for a buratta sandwich which was soo tasty , you couldn’t fault it and i tried to finish as much as i could despite being full hahaha my friend had the spaghetti which she really enjoyed. The decor is lovely and staff very attentive, topping up water glasses without asking. Cant wait to come back when I’m next in ireland

Very welcoming place, friendly and attentive staff, delicious and very affordable dishes Highly recommended

The best chicken I've ever had in my life. The buffalo wings in particular were so delicious that my mother, who is quite the well mannered person, and myself viciously guarded the empty plate so that we could use the leftover buffalo sauce. The waitress then politely reminded us that we could just ask for more sauce. This brought us back a bit from our buffalo madness and we decided this was a reasonable compromise. 10/10 full marks for service and good vibes as well.

I made a reservation for 2:30 p.m., and upon arrival, we were assigned a rather uncomfortable table: located in a hallway, right next to a large family, divided by half a wall but right next to each other, in a busy area. Having booked in advance, I honestly expected a better location. I had specifically requested a window table when I made the reservation, and upon arrival, I reiterated my request, as my mother was visiting and I wanted her to enjoy the view. It was also a sunny day, and those tables were particularly well located. However, I was told that they were tables reserved for large groups only and that we couldn't get there as two people. When I mentioned that the original table wasn't comfortable, they offered us a table for four—similar in size to the window tables—but in a different area. Even so, they never gave us the option to sit at the tables overlooking the street. What's most striking is that, just a few minutes later, they seated two people at one of those same tables by the window. Clearly, it wasn't a capacity issue. I was also told the restaurant was "extremely busy," but I've been here many times, even during busy times, and this time there were no people waiting and the dining room wasn't packed. The explanation didn't match what I saw. Unfortunately, the experience left me with the feeling that it's better to come without a reservation: it seems like you end up with better seating options than those who reserve in advance. While the food and service were fine, these types of situations affect the overall experience. I hope they can improve their reservation management and table assignment criteria so that all customers are treated with the same consideration. I'm including a photo from that same day.

Perfect food for those who love spicy food. There is a children's menu for children. The staff is friendly.

La fuimos a la calle. Patrick’s Day, sentado en el bar y el chico de piel clara no era tan acogedor. Tuvimos una discusión con otra pareja que era muy entretenida. Eran de Chicago y éramos turistas, así que tuvimos una gran experiencia hablando con ellos. Era calle. El día de Patty, así que pedí un sándwich de ternera de maíz que era carne comercial y no carne de maíz real. Así que, por supuesto, estaba muy decepcionado. Parece un lugar popular, pero siéntate en una mesa con el chico, la actitud del bar apesta. La camarera era muy agradable. Recomiendo, este lugar, pero no te sientes @ bar. Ijs

As we always do when visiting a new city, we read the reviews before deciding where to eat. Then we check out the top rated few or the ones which personally appeal. On this occasion, we were not overly taken when we went to see our choices. By chance we stumbled on the Elephant and Castle and glad we did. It does not deserve to be languishing so far down in the list of restaurants in Dublin. Nice food, nice people, nice atmosphere - and not packed out with tourists!
