Salamanca in Dublin

A must when you are in the city

Rich tasting paella and wide selection of tapas. The mussels were overcooked but all other seafoods were great. Our group settled on pulpo a al gallega and croqueta de jamón ibérico. Both tasted fantastic. But, we were disappointed in the small portion of pulpo... Who serves octopus with only one tentacle? This would've been a perfect meal if not for this. They did not have service charge so what you see is what you pay. Highly recommended for an authentic spanish dining experience.

Had an early dinner here on the 18 th of August 2025. Staff was so nice and helpful ! Must try the salmon and the lovely catalana cream dessert . Martin , the waiter was so attentive and friendly ! The wine list is great ! Thanks ! Will be back soon !

The tapas were delicious, especially the calamares. The atmosphere was very cozy and welcoming. Laura, our waitress, was so sweet and attentive, which made the experience even better. Highly recommend this place!

Don't be fooled. It's not Spanish food. The service was very average. It took a while to bring our drinks, and they brought us all the tapas at once. The portions were very small for the price. There were five of us, and we couldn't all eat the octopus; it was all potato and one leg. They put a layer of aioli on the meatballs. The potato omelette is much better than the one from Mercadona. The calamari was mediocre. They put basil on the bread with tomato, and we didn't even notice the oil. Anyway, the name is Spanish. Oh, and the Estrella Galicia. The only thing that brightened our visit a bit. Thanks.

Underwhelming paella, slow service, and felt like I was being interrogated when I asked for directions to the toilet - guessing it's for customers only and they assumed I wasn't one? Chorizo and padron peppers tapas dishes were nice though and the out door seating is good on a sunny day.

Everything is super delicious, just like being in Spain, reasonable prices and excellent service.

Very good food, although the price is quite high, the staff is very friendly and the service is fast and light, a great atmosphere to have some tapas

Vine aquí para cenar temprano a mitad de semana. El lugar era tranquilo y todos estaban muy repartidos. El personal era muy amable y atento. Menú tiene una amplia selección de platos de estilo tapas principalmente. La comida llegó rápidamente y el tamaño de las porciones era decente. La comida era desafortunadamente promedio y algunos platos un poco decepcionante. En general sentimos que el personal era encantador, pero por desgracia la comida tenía margen de mejora.

Comí aquí con mi novia. No teníamos una reserva, pero por suerte conseguimos una mesa, pensé que el lugar estaba bastante lleno. El servicio fue muy agradable y rápido (todo el tiempo que estuvimos en el restaurante). Tenemos nuestros entrantes 5 minutos después de sentarnos. Compartimos el arranque, fue bueno, pero no genial. Como principal, tengo un filete servido con papas y salsa de hongos. El bistec estaba bien en tamaño y sabor, pero demasiado tendón. Patatas buenas también, un poco sin sal a mi gusto. La salsa de setas salvó el plato principal. Era tan bueno, y había un montón de él. Como postre compartimos crema brûlée española y pastel de chocolate. Ambos eran sabrosos y dulces, pero estábamos tan llenos después de eso. Recomiendo tener solo un postre para compartir, eran porciones bastante grandes. En general, el servicio y la atmósfera elevaron el experimento promedio a más de uno promedio. La comida era buena, pero no genial. Después de todo dicho, podría recomendar este restaurante a cualquiera que le guste la cocina española.
