 | Dublin Gallagher's Boxty House Reviews | 1 - 10 of 22 |  |
Gallaghers is a traditional Irish Restaurant in the heart of Temple Bar.
We chose this place for dinner as I had read good reviews and the food smelt good!
It was a busy, friendly place with a big menu and reasonable prices.
We tried the Irish Stew and of course a Boxty, which is Gallaghers signature dish. It is a traditional Irish pancake, filled and rolled with a choice of fillings.
We managed to squeeze in dessert which was also quite good.
Oh, and of course washed it all down with a tasty bottle of Aussie Red!

I first discovered Boxty in Providence, RI at a great Irish pub called Re Ra which has excellent Boxty, which is a traditional Irish pancake made out of potatoes usually wrapped around meat or poultry. When I was looking for restaurants for my trip to Dublin I noticed a restaurant called Gallaghers Boxty House. I thought great I'll be in Dublin an I like Boxty so I decided to check it out.
I knew the prices would be high because of the location, but I was very disappointed at the meal. The Boxty was not flavorful, and the filling of beef was equally bland. Saving the restaurant was Seona out waitress. She was very attentive and had a great personality.
However I cannot recommend this restaurant but that's just my opinion. I' sure there is great Boxty being served all over Dublin , but just not here.
I guess I'd have to say the Boxty.. but it wasn't good.

We sat downstairs & the restaurant was very busy & fairly hot.
I ordered an irish potatoe pancake with beef called a beef boxty it was quite filling & I ordered a side of vegetables. Others had various types of Irish stew which comes with a hunk of bread.
My meal cost Euro 14 + E 3 for the vegetables, steaks were a lot more pricey.
Wine is fairly expensive with house being Euro 28, drinks bumped the prices up
Service was ok, although our waiter broke a whole stack of glasses right behind us & one dropped in someones lap.

Let's be fair: the only place where one can sample this traditional speciallity is at the Gallagher's Boxty House, which is basically your average tourist trap. Then again boxties are so delicious that you really want to go there anyway. The interior. well, it looks like your typical tourist trap. But my advice is to go anyway.
boxties, obviously. A boxty is a sort of potatoes pancake serve with a selection of fillings: vegetarian, with meat or with seafood. Their Bailey's & Brown Bread
ice-cream is heavenly. Leave a Comment

Gallagher's Boxty House. Touristy traditional place. Squeeking wooden chairs, so you're afraid you'll destroy them by sitting on them. A boxty is basically a pancake. Just so you know. (And for the traditional pancake lovers: yes, there's sugar on every table, just in case...)
Did I mention the traditional Irish atmosphere? I did?
Chicken Boxty. Tender Pieces of Chicken, Peppers & Mushrooms Cooked Slowley in a creamy Irish Mist Sauce.
Note the Slowley. It's Touristy traditional, remember. Nice atmosphere and nice food. Really. Leave a Comment Theme: OtherAddress: Temple Bar, Dublin 2Other Contact: http://www.boxtyhouse.ie/

The Boxty House serves traditional Irish dishes, and everything I had in there so far tasted absolutely delicious. You will have to make a reservation, though, as they are usually complete booked out in the evenings. Leave a Comment Theme: OtherAddress: TemplebarOther Contact: Tel. +353-1-6772762 www.boxtyhou

ENGLISH VERSION : GALLAGHER'S BOXTY HOUSE - Nice place in TEMPLE BAR (city center) where to eat irish specialities as IRISH STEW - BOXTY (or Ar·n bocht tÌ in Gealic)and so on.
- Very well furnished, and a pleasant fire place (helpful even in October) - A bit expensive though -
- Get there more for the athmosphere than for the stews, you'll find some better made and cheaper at the OVAL BAR (see above). - Often full better make a reservation. (I must say I didnt try their boxties)
VERSION FRANCAISE : GALLAGHER'S BOXTY HOUSE - Un endroit agréable dans le quartier de TEMPLE BAR (centre ville) où l'on peut y déguster des spécialités irlandaises telles que l'IRISH STEW - BOXTY etc ...
-Bel ameublement intérieur, et une cheminée (agréable, même en Octobre)- Un peu cher cependant.
Allez-y plus pour l'ambiance que pour le STEW que vous trouverez meilleur et moins cher à l'OVAL BAR (voir plus haut) - Souvent bondé, prévoyez de réserver.

Fully expected to suffer a rip-off simply because of its location in Temple Bar but FAR FROM IT!
The boxty's were priced at a very fair c.15E level, so good value for the meals, we thought.
We had a fairly priced bottle of wine to accompany but there is also Murphys to be had (free pint, if you bring along voucher from their brochure, found in usual hotel racks)
It's a busy place but waiters are always on the case and there when you need them, tho' not asking the usual inane "are you enjoying it" stuff all the time, thank goodness!
Liked is so much that we came back, next night!!
We selected Seafood and Vegi Boxtys and were delighted with the amount, quality, appearance and taste of them - we didn't quite know what to expect but found them to be light local pacakes around excellent ingredients, with nice garnish and options for extra such as excellent seasonal veggies and brown bread, which turnede out to be own-baked soda bread - v. good!

Went in for lunch with my partner, both had boxty's.
Food was alright, nothing special. Plate was stone cold so the food got cool very quickly. Tasted good, but to be honest was left disappointed with what we got for the cash.
Boxty's are pretty expensive and you don't get anything with them unless you order a side dish so I didn't feel it was great value for money.
I had a chicken boxty, nice enough, and some colcannon.
