Elephant & Castle Rathmines

Susy was a great person and helped us walk through the menu. She always had a happy face and very welcoming. This place also has a great vibe with great food. Perfect for dates or friends hangout.

The place is very nice and pleasant. The food portions are big. Fish a bit dry, burgers decent, tacos pretty good, huge portion of cauliflower wings, arancini not bad. The service is fast. The sink in the men's room was broken, and there was no soap in the others. On the website, it says that there was a 2 course lunch menu. On arrival, we learned that this was not available for Christmas Eve only. Sad. Also, I only just realised that they charged us a 12% service charge even though we were 4 people. On the menu, it states that this charge is for groups larger than 6 people. I prefer to make the decision to leave a tip myself.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Elephant & Castle, and I must say, the experience exceeded all expectations. The chowder I ordered was nothing short of perfection—creamy, flavorful, and comforting. Every spoonful was a delightful balance of fresh ingredients, rich textures, and just the right amount of seasoning. It’s easily one of the best I’ve had. What truly elevated the meal, though, was the exceptional service. Susy welcomed us with a warm smile and ensured we were comfortable from the moment we arrived. Teo was incredibly attentive, always making sure our glasses were full and our needs were met without ever being intrusive. Lastly, Marcos, with his charm and professionalism, added the perfect touch to the experience, making us feel like valued guests throughout the evening. It was a dining experience where both the food and service came together harmoniously, making Elephant & Castle a place I can’t wait to visit again!
