The place is lovely, with excellent food and great service. However, the prices are sky-high — each tapas costs as much as a full dish elsewhere, and the same goes for the wine. Even by Dublin standards, it’s expensive. Definitely one for a special occasion — just go in prepared.

We recently visited Salamanca Tapas Bar on St. Andrew’s Street in Dublin and it truly felt like a little Spanish escape in the heart of the city. The atmosphere is lively, the staff are friendly, and the menu is full of authentic Spanish flavours. 🌟 What to Try: • Croquetas de Jamon Iberico – crispy and creamy, served with apple alioli. • Secreto Iberico al Grill – Iberian pork marinated in miso, paired with rocket & apple chutney. Unique and very memorable. • Pollo al Pedro Ximenez – chicken in a Pedro Ximenez brandy cream sauce, rich and indulgent. • Pulpo a la Gallega – grilled octopus with chorizo crumbs and paprika. A must if you enjoy seafood. 🍷 Their wine list is well-curated and pairs beautifully with tapas – ask the staff for recommendations, they are very helpful. 💡 Tips: • Great place for groups – sharing tapas is the best way to explore the menu. • Early bird menu and tapas platters are good value if you want to try a variety. • Booking ahead is recommended, especially at weekends, as it gets busy. • Portions are generous for tapas – 2–3 dishes per person is usually enough. • Save some space for dessert – churros are a classic finish. 🏛 The building itself is charming (late 1800s) and located just a few steps from Grafton Street, so it’s perfect to combine with shopping or a walk through the city centre. In short: Salamanca is one of the best places in Dublin if you want to experience authentic Spanish tapas in a warm, bustling atmosphere. Highly recommend both for locals and tourists!

Rich tasting paella and wide selection of tapas. The mussels were overcooked but all other seafoods were great. Our group settled on pulpo a al gallega and croqueta de jamón ibérico. Both tasted fantastic. But, we were disappointed in the small portion of pulpo... Who serves octopus with only one tentacle? This would've been a perfect meal if not for this. They did not have service charge so what you see is what you pay. Highly recommended for an authentic spanish dining experience.
