    Irish breakfast
    Brenda D.

    My favorite breakfast in all my Euro trip. The black pudding was alright but the white pudding was absolutely delicious. Perfectly cooked eggs, fast service, great coffee, comfortable space. No negatives!

    Full Irish breakfast yummy!
    Liz M.

    Did someone say full Irish breakfast? Yes please. My friend and I enjoyed this breakfast so much. It hit the spot! Food was fresh, well seasoned, great portion sizes. Cute decor and great customer service. They have other items on the menu but you can't go wrong with the full Irish breakfast. It was delicious and I'll definitely come back here if I'm back in Dublin.

    Best fish & chips I ever ever had
    Liberty G.

    Absolutely wonderful food matched by the beyond lovely staff. We had four delicious meals since we were staying at the attached Harding Hotel. Great friendly atmosphere, well lit dining area with beautiful stained glass and conveniently located across from Christ's Church. All the staff were so friendly, personable and extra sweet to my mom. They really made us feel welcome on our first night in Dublin. Dining as a family of five we each ordered a variety of food and shared amongst ourselves. Enjoyed were the full Irish and vegetarian breakfasts, beef Guinness stew (very rich), Irish smoked salmon with eggs, their signature omelette, homemade seafood chowder (perfection), brioche french toast, brown bread with butter, Irish soda bread (addictive), Korean chicken wings, and a variety of beers and cocktails. The stand out star by far was the fish & chips--large pieces, light & airy breading, no excess oil. Really the best I've ever eaten. I would say that the portions served of everything was very generous, so bring your appetite.

    Fish and chips

    We had a great lunch here on a rainy afternoon. I had the seafood chowder and it was wonderful. It featured a huge portion of mussels along with salmon, prawns, and other fish (I think maybe haddock). Everything was flavorful and fresh and the broth was excellent. The chowder came with fresh bread and butter. This plus a pot of tea was a great way to warm up before heading back out for more sightseeing. Others in my group had the stew and fish and chips; they greatly enjoyed their meals as well. Service was excellent and the atmosphere was relaxed with lovely decor.

    We had breakfast here & the food was fantastic! I had the french toast & my husband had eggs, bacon, tomato, & mushrooms. Everything was delicious & the staff was so friendly!

    Chicken sandwich with chips

    Great food... cute little spot to sit and watch the busy streets of Dublin. Service was quick and attentive. Food was delicious. Definitely recommend stopping here especially after visiting the Dublin castle.

    Beef stew
    Maurice L.

    Popped in for a bite to eat. The resultant was clean, the staff was pleasant and very attentive. I was seated right away. I had the beef stew and I was absolutely delicious!! The chocolate eclair was just ok but the ice cream that came with is was amazing.

    Darkey Kelly's wouldn't seat is with a child so they sent us next door and we were not disappointed. For our first real meal in Ireland this set a great tone! Everything was amazing, especially the desert. The portions were huge and the service was great.

We were waited on by servers as well as the lovely bartender, Bella. Great service all around! I ordered the seafood chowder and I will be dreaming about this meal for a long time. It was loaded with fresh fish and so perfectly seasoned. The portion size was excellent - I wish more places offered smaller portions like this. The drinks were wonderful and made with care. Bella came by to chat with us before we left and it was obvious she loves her job. This is a lovely pub to enjoy while visiting Dublin!

Menu has a good selection of Irish dishes from seafood chowder up to lamb stew and pies. We ordered the potato soup, seafood chowder, 'banjo' burger with onion rings. The soups arrived first and the seafood chowder was loaded with huge pieces of fish, potatoes (not many) with a creamy rich base. Flavor was incredible and in itself a full meal. Served in a large crock style bowl. The potato soup was minus any whole potatoes. It was a rich creamy base with plenty of flavor and very hearty. The burger was really a double cheeseburger with plenty of cheese, grilled onions, what appeared to be a mayonnaise based sauce on a soft hamburger roll. Really tall enough that it was tough getting your mouth around it. Very well seasoned burgers and the onions were a nice touch. The onion rings were huge and had a very light batter on them. They served in a metal bowl to keep them hot. For dessert the apple crumble was ordered which was served in a large dish with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. This could have been warmer but still was good.. The 5 star rating is for the chowder as it outshone the rest of the meal although the burger was definitely a close second. Definitely will return to try other dishes when we come back to the city.

Our first meal in Dublin was at The Old Mill Restaurant, right in the heart of Temple Bar. It's been serving traditional Irish fare since the 1980s and has become a favorite stop for both locals and visitors looking for classic comfort food. After about a 20-minute wait, we were seated in the warm, inviting dining room. Susan ordered the mussels, one of her favorites, while I went with the Traditional Irish Stew and my daughter chose the Braised Beef & Guinness Stew. Both were exactly what we hoped for: hearty, flavorful, and perfect after a day of sightseeing. I finally understood why the Guinness stew had such a rich, dark color, and I have to admit, I came home a big fan of Irish stew. We finished with the Homemade Bread & Butter Pudding topped with fresh cream and custard, a comforting dessert that was the perfect ending to the meal. Service, atmosphere, value, and food were all five out of five. We also enjoyed chatting with the floor manager, whose pride in the restaurant and his team was obvious. That kind of hospitality made a great meal even more memorable.

They told us our table was ready at the same time they were seating a walk-in. Our table was next to the window with decent space between tables, I saw the walk-in complain that where he was getting sat was in the middle of the restaurant with no space between the next table. He ended up just taking our table even with the waitress saying it wasn't his. They just shrugged and told us to sit in the middle. The mussels were good, and they had gluten free bread, but there were limited gluten free options, even the Shepards pie wasn't gluten free. I was hoping a mash potato topping would be available, but only the Irish stew. This had lamb, but also chicken, so you had to hunt down the lamb. The beef stew was good, but the overall experience and being squeezed in shoulder to shoulder made me feel like I stumbled into a tourist trap. I wouldn't recommend.
