A lovely informal atmosphere, The food we had , traditional 'oirish' bacon and cabbage with champ was fantastic. Just what we needed before a night on the black stuff. The prices were still a little high but better than some other establishments, we were in Dublin after all, and we still felt we'd had value for money.
The service was also fantastic very attentive but relaxed and our waitres Jane was gorgeous as well (dont think the wife saw me looking). Keep doing what you do, dont change a thing.

A RESTUARANT WHERE FOOD TASTES AS IT SHOULD Visited Gallagher's Boxty House on 1rst June 2008 for the first time on my first visit to Dublin but I intend to return to both the city and the restuarant as both are well worth a return visit.I had been in the city for a week and had sampled a number of eating houses before discovering this establishment but if I had found it first I doubt if I would have gone anywhere else. The restuarant is on the Temple Bar and fairly easy to locate .The olde style frontage and waiting area lead you to beleive you have stepped back in time but it is a step your taste buds will remember. The food is locally sourced , the ...  Read the complete review

I was on holiday for the weekend with three friends in Dublin and we were walking round the main streets looking for somewhere to eat when we spotted the interestingly named 'Gallagher's Boxty House'. What is a boxty we wondered? we soon found out... Outside the restaurant is inviting, painted dark green with gold lettering and big windows it looked clean and homely. Inside the boxty house is not all that big but just the right size for somewhere comfortable and intimate. It was nicely decorated with Irish looking things, pictures on the wall etc. It was easy to get service and a table - a nice one, like a booth by the wall. The menu was quite extensive and I ...  Read the complete review

Gallagher?s Boxty House is situated in the heart of Temple Bar, and close to the Ha?penny Bridge. The food is traditional Irish, with an emphasis on stews, soups and inevitably the Irish Boxty or potato pancake which is cooked on a griddle and filled with various fillings. The Boxty House is just a restaurant however, and it is not a place where you would go just for a drink, and so we elected to try it during a lunch time. Although the marketing focus is on ?traditional Irish? the restaurant has become something of a local attraction. It has received plenty of positive press and frequented by many stars. It tends to be a place that tourists will dine ...  Read the complete review
