Salamanca in Dublin

We had the lunch menu there for €19.95. The food was very good, as was the atmosphere. There was plenty of space, and we were served very quickly. Everyone was very friendly. We highly recommend this restaurant.

A great tapas restaurant! Food was delicious especially the lamb skewers and Gambas pill pill Staff were extremely friendly and welcoming. We got 50% off food on early table which makes it unbelievable value.

Had a lovely dinner with friends. The food was amazing and great to share tapas as it ment you got to taste even more dishes. The stuffed pepper, chorizo and ham & cheese&nuts are not to be missed.

The food was very good, the churros were delicious, but the food was a bit pricey. Even so, it's very good and I would go back if I fancy some croquettes.

A Little Taste of Spain in the Heart of Dublin! 🇪🇸🇮🇪 If you’re in Dublin and looking for food that doesn’t just taste good—it makes an entrance—put Salamanca Tapas Bar & Restaurant on your list! Located right next to St. Andrew’s Church, Salamanca is the perfect stop while exploring the heart of Dublin. I enjoyed the Paella de Marisco, and it was absolutely gorgeous—fragrant, beautifully seasoned rice bursting with the flavors of the sea. Every bite was savory, rich, and packed with delicious seafood goodness. The Salmon à la Gallega was another standout. Tender, beautifully prepared salmon with wonderful Spanish flavors that let the quality of the fish shine. It was simple, elegant, and incredibly satisfying. And I have to give a special thank-you to Levy, the Bar Manager, and Alex, the General Manager. Their hospitality and attention to detail helped make my experience even more memorable. It’s always wonderful when great food is matched by a team that genuinely makes you feel welcome. The food practically jumps off the plate—colorful, aromatic, inviting, and full of flavor. You come in for tapas and suddenly find yourself planning your next visit! And here’s my Dublin tip: eat at Salamanca, then go find Molly Malone and give her a little rub for luck! 😉 If you’re visiting Dublin, exploring the city center, or simply craving Spanish flavors, don’t walk past Salamanca. Walk in hungry. 🇪🇸❤️ Five stars from me—and absolutely worth adding to your Dublin food itinerary!

Overall, this was good, but there were just a few misses. I came in for lunch without a reservation and was able to be seated right away. I did notice that other people who came in after me were offered a choice of inside or outside, but they just put me inside. By the time I left, it was pretty busy in there, so reservations might be good. I was looking at the lunch tasting menu, but decided against it because I didn’t want all of those courses. Then later, I heard them offering other people a glass of wine instead of the starter. I would’ve totally done that if I knew that was an option. When I ordered, the server asked if I would like bread with that and I said yes and then I noticed later that I was charged three euro for it. I felt like it was a complementary offer. The service was pretty fast and I got my food quickly as well. I ordered a chicken dish in sauce and it was pretty salty. I brought half of it home and put it over pasta thinking that it might cut the saltiness, but it was still there.

Lovely food and service, a bit noisy in the venue.

Recommend sharing tapas and samgria with friends here.

Nice food good service, I would recommend.

Very disappointed with food, portions very small. Expected more from Spanish restaurant
