Salamanca in Dublin

5 stars every time.Food is great, great selection, staff are wonderful, you can book ahead. They are lucky to have a wonderful mangeress in Ashling. A must if you like Tapas.

A piece of Spain in the heart of Dublin. We stopped for dinner, choosing from a selection of excellent tapas and paella. The place was welcoming and the staff exceptional, friendly and attentive. Special thanks to a very professional Sardinian waiter, who further enhanced the evening.

I would highly recommend this place for its amazing atmosphere and the wonderful waitress, who was constantly attentive, making sure we were comfortable throughout our visit. The place has a vibrant, lively, and colourful ambiance that adds to the overall experience. As for the tapas and sangria, they were absolutely fantastic and hardly need any introduction. A great spot that I’d happily visit again!

Such a lovely atmosphere. Our waiter Nicola was very good and he was very friendly and attentive with us. Perfect staffs and food :)

Excellent service and the food is delicious.

A Spanish restaurant with reasonable prices and tasty food (salamanca burger).

Food was good, everything else disappointing. Booked in advance, which after arrival we realised was a mistake. Sat us at the back near the toilets despite restaurant being half empty. Requested to sit nearer the front. Were told that wasn’t possible. Essentially felt they thought we were ‘captured’ customers, so there was no need to bother too much. Food arrived. Some loose slices on the paella fell on the floor when being transferred to the table. Promised they’d bring a replacement. Never did. Food though was tasty, as Spanish food is. But we always need bread to soak up the sauces. Again, we just got the feeling that they also know that so have maxed out the pricing there. €3 for 6 thin slices of a baguette. Got it sussed as business. May go back some day for the taste, but certainly won’t book in advance. See if turning up on spec gets us a different table.

I can't recommend Salamanca highly enough.

We loved it here. We had a table at the window overlooking the St. Andrew's Church. The view was spectacular, staff were quite kind, and overall it was a lovely night.

I was there a little while ago with my family, and it had very little to do with Spanish food. The paella, in short, wasn't paella at all; it was more like rice with bits and pieces. It was edible, but it had NOTHING to do with an authentic Spanish paella. The rest of the menu was just okay: some wings and a hamburger that were nothing special. The "cod" didn't even taste like cod; I still don't know what kind of fish it was. According to my father, the only good thing was the beer (Estrella Galicia). When we asked for the bill, the waiter came and asked if we had enjoyed it. My father replied that we hadn't and told him that the paella was anything but paella. Seeing that we hadn't eaten much, he left it on the bill for free. In short, a pleasant and comfortable place with very good waiters, but it's not Spanish food.
