Elephant & Castle in Dublin

17/06/2026: Very good standard. Starts with the Spanish olive oil for dipping. Deep green with grassy notes. Next level. Shout out to our English waitress. Switched on and friendly

14/06/2026: My lord, dinner here was like eating artwork! Completely forgot to take photos of our starters - I had beef carpaccio with a horseradish sauce and some very tasty mini mushrooms. Hubby had boar salami on a toasted potato cake. My main was lamb with minted puréed peas and a fried sweetbread, my husband had a citrus-y risotto to die for. Dessert was chocolate torte for him, mine was some unbelievable concoction with shortbread, strawberries, whipped cream, and a basil accent. We devoured everything with a disgraceful speed - so, so yummy. Our server Miranda was on the spot, dancing between the eight tables in the room, and making her hard work look effortless. She was funny, attentive, and extremely knowledgeable about the menu, describing the items that were unfamiliar to us. Our tastebuds were tantalized and titilated - one of the best meals I've ever enjoyed, including Paris and a three-star restaurant in Rome. Definitely book ahead, and get ready for the meal of a lifetime!
