We were staying at the Iveagh Garden Hotel and this was a quick 10min walk(if that). Garreth (co-owner) was fabulous and kept a great conversation with us the entire time. We just had a small charcuterie board(plenty for 2people) and white wine and hubs had a good BOLD cab sav. Small intimate place. Out of the way from all the busy places and well worth your time to support a small business. They also have outdoor back patio that is adorable! Highly recommend this place! Get outside the hustle and support this adorable place!

The owner is very proud of this new spot and is warm and welcoming to his patrons. The tapas are reasonably priced and so tasty! We enjoyed the seafood paella (very fresh tasting) and the grilled sardines were fabulous (just watch out for those tiny splinters!) We also devoured the chorizo in white wine and the croquettes. The price was very reasonable and the service is very good! There's also a lovely outdoor space which is so inviting on a bright afternoon. We plan to return and sip the afternoon away with a carafe of sangria!

The two owners were so wonderful, and both came to speak with us by the end of the dining experience. The food was unreal. Such good options with so many different styles of cuisine. Everything we ate was so impressive and tasty. I would recommend specifics, but I'd be listing out the 20 menu items we ordered. Their drinks were just as fabulous as the food. Great vibe in the place as well. Good lighting and fun environment right in the heart of Dublin. You seriously can not go wrong. DO YOURSELF A HUGE FAVOR AND MAKE A RESERVATION!

Vanessa (one of the owners) is there helping you out and welcoming you as if you're family. Lovely atmosphere, honestly. We ordered these tapas for a party of two: chicharrones, chorizo frito y morcilla, carrillada de cerdo (pork cheeks), bomba de la Barcelona, and patatas bravas. I can't pick a favorite (but the pork cheeks, and the chorizo are up there!), but every tapa was incredible and well executed. Take your time, be adventurous, and explore the menu. Portions are small enough that you can order many things to share. Paired the tapas with a wonderful Tempranillo, and a Cava Sangria. They did start us with a free sample of their tinto de verano as well, in true Spanish fashion. Definitely worth visiting while in Dublin!

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 €3 for it. It felt like it was a complimentary 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.

Usually, the dining room comprises an underground hideaway that is quite sleek and intimate. However, due to the lockdown measures, we had to do outdoor seating directly on William Street while we were there. The experience was still beautiful, thanks to the surrounding scenery. The cocktails were grand between the P61 Signature Cocktail and the Hugo -- both prosecco-based cocktails. The former was delicious between the peach puree and prosecco, while the latter was a little more tart with the elderflower cordial. For dinner, we kicked things off with gluten-free bread with a trio of dips that were quite tasty. The Tortellini I ordered was exquisite and scrumptious with how it was prepared between the goat cheese, asparagus, red onion, wilted spinach, cream sauce, and bacon. I applauded this lovely dish with the last bite. I devoured the warm almond flour brownie for dessert, served with chocolate sauce and gelato, which my wife could also enjoy since the dish was gluten-free. Overall, Platform 61 was a great way to conclude our second Irish journey. We will return, especially to enjoy the underground dining area.
