• Irish • Grafton Street
Booked 12 times today
Dublin's most famous pub, certainly in a literary sense, with its Joycean associations. Always classy and fashionable. It's the original Dublin gastropub at over 100 years old.Anybody who is familiar with Dublin pub food will be aware of Davy Byrne’s food reputation, in which seafood is the speciality.If you visit the premises at lunchtime and evening time, you will witness the huge trade which is done in fresh Seafood, Wagyu Burgers and pub classics like Fish & Chips. There is also a full range of Salads and Sandwiches to compliment these and, as often as not, you can enjoy Oysters and Guinness.The classic Gorgonzola sandwich with a glass of Burgundy as mentioned in Ulysses is available every day.Unfortunately, we cannot accommodate strollers/buggies indoors at Davy Byrnes but subject to availability, we can at our outside terraced area. We apologize for any inconvenience.

    We had a table (booth) just for us two which was lovely. My husband sat on the outside which he got a bit annoyed as people kept opening the door and a little draught came in. This didn’t spoil his enjoyment of the meal and service. Starters - he had beef croquettes and I had Gambas which I’d never had. 5 prawns in a chilli oil with sourdough bread. I think you are supposed to pick them up but I used my cutlery. Lovely. Mains - husband had 7oz Beef which he said was delicious and filling. I had Rotisserie Chicken with rice. I’m not mad about rice but this was delicious that I liked it more than the chicken which comes with gravy. Chicken was oh so tender and too big a portion for me to finish. Deserts - I had lemon tart, meringue and raspberry sorbet which cleaned my palate nicely. Husband had choux bun which comes with pistachio ice cream that they changed to vanilla and jug of chocolate sauce. He’s not a lover of nutty ice cream. 2 bottles of still water and 2 bottles of Malbec. Total €207 which we rounded to €220. Service was excellent. All staff smiling and well presented. I liked how the restaurant was separate from the pub. I’d definitely return.

    Did you know that Gigi's is doing lunch on Saturday and Sunday now?? No, neither did we until we were looking for a good spot to have a Saturday lunch that was not in town at this crazy time of the year. And did we make the perfect choice!! It was everything we experience any time we go there for dinner - the food was so tasty and well presented. The people who work there seem to have a knack for keeping an eye on everything. And the ambience just makes you relax. And the Ranelagh location couldn't be better.
