The Port House Cava in Dublin

Food and wine were lovely, staff was so friendly and helpful, even though the place was super busy. Special shout out to Giannis for being simply the best !!

Food was amazing.. never tasted croquettes as good as the ones here. The pork belly was disappointing and very dry but overall the service was good and food was delicious. I'd recommend and definitely return.

A gem - tapas authentically Spanish paired with a curated list of Spanish wines. Recommended: the meat and cheese board for two.

We went for bottomless brunch. We sat down at 1pm and the place was empty, which is fine, that can happen, but service was fairly slow. Food was nice and simple but the we just left thinking it was all very average and not great value. Staff were nice, just missing.

I visited The Port House Cava recently and overall had a pleasant experience. The ambiance was cozy and inviting, and the staff were friendly and attentive throughout our meal. The chicken paella was very flavorful and well-cooked — definitely a highlight of the night. The chicken skewers, while tasty, were a bit too heavily seasoned for my liking. However, I was quite disappointed with the “Piri Piri Chicken” dish. Based on the name, I expected something closer to the traditional Portuguese-style grilled or roasted chicken with piri piri sauce. Instead, I received deep-fried chicken pieces soaked in oil, which had no resemblance to the preparation or flavor profile typically associated with piri piri chicken. While I understand creative interpretations of classic dishes are common, I believe it’s important for the menu to clearly describe what is being served — especially when using a well-known dish name that sets specific expectations. This would help customers make informed choices and avoid disappointment. In summary: great service and atmosphere, very good paella, overly seasoned skewers, and a misleading representation of the piri piri chicken.

Great tapas spot with great food at great prices. Good afternoon work spot for a bite.

Thanks to Antonio, the waiter who served me in a professional and friendly manner.

Very good food and friendly service

Staff it's amazing, always kind and very friendly!! Food it's very very good.

I honestly wish I could give more stars. Tonight is the last night of vacation with my family and we scoured the internet looking for a place to have our last dinner. We are pretty obsessed with a tapas restaurant back home in Chicago, and looking at the menu and reviews we chose The Port House, Cava. Walking in it literally felt as if we walked into one of our own family members homes. There were a man and woman working (forgive me, I don't remember thier names) and they were so warm and friendly welcoming us in. We're traveling with our 8 month old and the man instantly brought over a high chair and helped my son into it, and even helped buckle him in. This has never happened in any other restaurant. High chairs yes but never have we had anyone so carefully assist our son into the high chair and make sure he was safely secured. We exchanged some small talk, he was amazing with my son (the entire evening) and both he and his co worker could not have been friendlier or more attentive to everyone dining. I am not exaggerating when I say it was like being in a family members home for dinner. And the tapas. Wow. Absolutely incredible. We ordered 6 tapas dishes and even the asparagus was perfection. Throughout our dinner I watched the restaurant grow busier yet the two working the front never wavered on thier hospitality even though they were both working thier tails off. Everything was utterly delicious (I highly recommend the grilled octopus) and my wife and I raved about the experience the entire way back to where we are staying. Even the ambiance of the restaurant is calming and welcoming which says a lot being on a busy city street. This is our second time in Ireland and if I had to recommend one place to definitely go check out it would be this one. Phenomenal food, great prices, incredible service. There is not one single negative thing I could say about the entire dinner. Thank you to the staff for making our last night in Ireland incredibly special.
