Spitalfields

Outstanding dining experience. An exciting and extensive menu featuring local ingredients prepared with amazing flair. The staff are attentive, friendly and knowledgeable. Every item on the menu is delicious and the biggest challenge is to narrow down the selection. Pro-tip: avoid breakfast and lunch and come with a big appetite so that you can try as many items from the menu as you’ll definitely want to.

The presentation of everything was impeccable, great service. The best scallops I had in my life and the chocolate dessert was also 10/10. Apart from that nothing special and not worth the price. Not sure if I would go back.

Incredibly impressive. A meal I certainly won't forget in a hurry. Food was absolutely outstanding, staff were all so warm and authentic and clearly cared deeply about your experience. Couldn't recommend it more, can't wait to go back!

Had an absolutely fantastic meal at Spitalfields. Starting off, I didn't know what to expect as (being Canadian) I wasn't sure how Irish "pub fare" was. Wow, was I blown away by the quality of the offer. First, we had a group prix-fixe menu. My dishes were the figs and cheese, the monk fish, and the chocolate. All three were spot on for seasoning and execution of flavour. Some of our table had the bone marrow and steak dishes - equally impressive as I got to try it all. I would highly recommend this place if the opportunity arises - after all it is Michelin recognized and for good reason.

Absolutely delicious food. The staff (as pictured here) were not only great, but worked hard to ensure our food was made to perfection. I HIGHLY recommend getting a reservation and having dinner and a nice pint of Guinness (or wine) here.

I had dinner with my boyfriend tonight and I would like to say that the food was great and the staffs were pleasant a part from one staff the general manager that I couldn’t get the name. We had a booking and when we arrived he told me I had a booking for the bar and not a table (it sound weird for me but we just follow this man to the bar) although in their website there is no option to choose table or bar and when I question him he insisted that I did wrong and I hit the wrong bottom (I was a bit embarrassed for the fact that he was a bit loud saying that to me) I even tried to show patiently that even the email that I got it was saying table but he was so obnoxious and on his stubborn way he wouldn’t listen and didn’t even want to read the confirmation email I was trying to show him. Anyway in order to put us on a table that was free before we get our mains, he turn to me and said “I can put you in this table that was for someone with a table reservation and them put them on the bar” he sound as if he was making us a favor and ruining the person (that by the way this people never came cause the bar was empty till we finished our meal) that had a “table reservation”. Once again there is no table reservation announced in the website. I’m sorry for the long review but your “general manager” should learn with the proper staffs how to deal with customers and to make clear it’s not a matter of having a table or not but how a general manager should show respect for their customers. I’m giving 5 stars for the waiters/bartender and the chefs although if I had the option here I would give 0 star for a staff that thinks is a good general manager.

I ordered the schnitzel with carrots. It was fried to a deep brown. It was thin and cooked well. The flavor was enhanced by the pickles and salad dish. The last bit was a little off with mixed flavors of seafood umami mixed in with the batter that overrode the pork schnitzel. The carrots were baked and melted in your mouth. Great taste due to being broiled. The pub was clean and well lit. The staff were very engaging and friendly. This place gets busy, so recommend for large parties to book a reservation. I thoroughly enjoyed the other patrons as it was not loud and I can still hear the music.

This place is phenomenal! We saw it as we were walking to the Guinness store house. As we walked back when it just opened we were lucky enough to get a table without reservations. So glad we did. The service was impeccable. The staff were friendly and inviting. The manager was fantastic. The food compared to the service. I love the small atmosphere so cozy. Please, take your time to find this place. Definitely won't regret it.

What a lovely experience from the call hoping I could get a last minute reservation to the time I regrettably was full and had to leave. Charming restraint. The staff all so friendly and in the best demeanor. I felt like everyone knew my name by the time I was seated. Even the sweet 83 yr old regular named James was calling me by it. I joined him at the bar and had the nicest conversation and delicious meal. Jackson from behind the bar was gracious enough to engage in conversation when he could. I was encouraged to try the starter of fig, goat cheese, and smoked tomato. Halibut with aubergine, and a heavenly silky sauce balanced with butter, citrus, and herbs. Smashed potatoes that were better than I can make. Surely something decadent when they were fried. Recommend

I was underwhelmed for the price. I ate out at several places in Dublin, and this was the most expensive and my least favorite. But I also appreciate what they're shooting for. I had the schnitzel, deviled eggs, roast carrots, chips, and parker house roll. I found most of the flavors lacking or imbalanced. Specifically, the carrots were undersalted and the schnitzel was oversalted for my taste. Caviar on the deviled eggs, while impressive, did not seem to add much. The chips were bland and not that crispy. I also didn't really get much depth of flavor from anything except the rolls. On the other hand, most items were well executed. The char on the carrots was lovely. The roll was golden brown. The crispiness of the schnitzel was unparalleled. The creaminess of the deviled eggs was very nice. And the Parker house roll was standouts (as divine as everyone says). The restaurant itself is charming and cozy. The service was unremarkable.

Delicious delicious delicious. We ordered a lot of the smaller dishes on the menu so we could try more things but you can tell by the quality of the ingredients and the way they cooked that they put a lot of heart and soul into. Highly recommend making a reservation! Staff is amazing and accommodating.

A magical meal! I was blown away by Spitalfields' culinary creations from start to finish. It's rare that I go to a restaurant and every dish on the menu piques my interest. Dinner kicked off with the scallops with butter and oysters on special, absolutely delicious, we debated ordering another round. Continued with the mussel risotto and beef cheek & ox tail parker house roll with bone marrow gravy - omg, so savory and packed with flavor. For mains, enjoyed the turbot on the bone which was a new experience. I heard that the lamb was the "best ever." Ended on a high note with both the cheesecake and flan-type dessert. Service was attentive although when another party showed up with an extra guest, management asked our table to move over to accommodate them which had us practically in the middle of the walkway. We obliged but it was a bit uncomfortable, especially after the makeshift divider fell with a loud bang, and nothing was offered or mentioned after. Overall, recommend when in Dublin.

Spitalfields was a welcomed last dinner in Ireland for us. We loved the drinks and the food. The staff were welcoming and friendly with a relaxed vibe.

A must dining experience when you're in Dublin; I'll be thinking about this meal for sometime. My husband and I were in town for our honeymoon and after reading a few blogs and the other yelp reviews we decided to try and stop in. We called over as this is primarily reservation only and a wonderful staff member was able to squeeze us in and we are seriously grateful. We were looking for a traditional Irish meal but with a little culinary flare and this hit every mark. One thing we really appreciated about the experience was the ambiance and staff. When you walk in this feels like a homey traditional Irish establishment. It's not a stuffy sit down dining experience despite the food being next level. The staff was incredible. Quick service, great cocktails, and a very kind staff member even went out of his way to give us recommendations at our next travel destination. The food is remarkable. We started with a few appetizers (Deviled Eggs, Oyster and Beef Tartar, Scallops). All were fantastic and it just kept getting better as we made our rounds. I will say I would consider this part of the meal small plate having to purchase each item individually. This is not something that deterred us personally, but worth mentioning for other diners. For the entrees we got the Cock-a-Leekie pie and it legitimately blew us away. I mean it was unreal. We paired this with the bone marrow mash potatoes and we ate every last bite. For cocktails we went with the whisky sour and espresso martini, both were great but you're in Ireland so just do the whisky, you won't regret it! Seriously I'd give this 10 stars if I could. Will absolutely be back if I have the chance.

Genuinely one of the best meals, if not the best, I've had in years. This is a must go if you need a good date night or if you're just visiting. We ordered several plates to share and then entrees so we could try a lot of different dishes. The standout for me was the scallops. To die for! And super friendly service of course.

Excellent meal, drinks, service and ambience. Started with the scallops, we tried 4 of the 5 entrees and tried all of the sides which were wonderful. Ended with cheesecake and eclair which were a lovely end to a meal with friends.

This, easily, was the best meal I've had here on my trip to London/Ireland. They do everything right here. Super friendly, attentive staff, superb food. excellent location and atmosphere. One of the best restaurants I've ever been to, hands down. Michelin listed, this place sits in a corner spot a bit of a walk away from all the hustle and bustle of Grafton. You have to book reservations if you want get a seat. And that's a good thing thing as the restaurant doesn't seem crowded or overbooked. If I had to describe it, it has the comfort and atmosphere of your neighborhood pub, but with fine dining sophistication. Got seated at the bar, which gave us front row interaction with one of the coolest bartenders I've ever met (unfortunately, I forgot to get his name, but he's the friendly, gregarious gent with a beard). Great attitude and he was nice enough to engage in conversation about everything, from best whiskey spots in the city to even Conor McGregor (he's not as well liked here as one might think). Ordered the following: - Hand Dived Scallop - 5/5: buttery, perfectly cooked, large...so good! - Beef Cheek and Oxtail Roll - 5/5: another superb dish. Dough was crisp on the outside and soft on the inside. The meat filling was full of flavor. Came with a bone marrow gravy that took the flavor profile over the top. - Potato Gnocchi: 5/5. Gnocchi was large and had a nice texture. Venison was super flavorful and not gamey at all. Very filling and deserving of a main event meal. - Burnt Basque Cheesecake - 5/5: perfect ending. Cheesecake was rich and not as dense as your run-of-the-mill cheesecake. Had a silky texture to it that melted in your mouth. You can obviously tell everything here is made with care and expertise; they are dead serious about your customer and dining experience. All the staff are engaging, friendly and there's a real relaxed atmosphere here. Thanks again for making this last meal in your country one of my most memorable!

One of my favorite meals of our Ireland trip. I made our reservation in advance and we showed up on time but were surprised by a friend who was in town and came to say hi. The restaurant was super gracious and invited us to stay at the bar to have a drink with our friend before they departed and we headed up to our table. Excellent wine, cocktails, and food. Everything was outstanding. The deviled eggs, bone marrow, and pork schnitzel were our favorite dishes.

Absolutely smashing! I recently attended Spiralfields with a group of friends, it was so delicious and the service was incredible. The atmosphere felt so homie and comfortable.

super nice staff and the owner was able to squeeze us in despite being booked up online. everyone was friendly and helpful. food was delicious. cozy atmosphere. very nice memory.

So do I order a beer or check out the fine wine list? Is it a pub? Or is it a fine dining experience? What a great find in Dublin... Bar feel, yet Michelin recognized food and a choice drink menu including excellent options from France, Italy, Spain, and Portugal! The beef cheek and ox tail roll was amazing as was the schnitzel. The baked cod was pretty good as well. Service was on point--what you would expect from fine dining. This was atypical in our experience, as most restaurants/pubs in Dublin didn't provide the best customer service. If you are on vacation or a local, this is a must try!

Just, ridiculously good, the entire evening was made so much more special by the staff and the atmosphere. We could not have asked for better. Our waiter, Ignacio, was great. The manager, Declan, was great. The food was great - I may have had the best scallop I've ever eaten. Everyone was attentive and our party of five were thrilled with the entire experience. We had not seen one another in several years and they let us sit and talk for the longest time. Thank you all!

There were four of us for dinner and we were a bit worn out from travel and the over indulgence of the night before. We were tired, and not too motivated to eat. But, here we are with a reservation at a well-rated place. Oh my. It was so good. All of it. The roasted cauliflower with the butter beans was my favorite. The gem salad and the roasted peppers were amazing as was the burrata. The schnitzel was quite good too. The standout was the lamb chops. My husband said it was the best he's ever had. And he's fussy. The desserts were great too. We tried the cheesecake, profiteroles, and the grilled pineapple. Service was great and the space had a great vibe. Make sure you make a reservation as this place is busy.

Phenomenal experience! The food is extraordinary and the staff is warm, engaging and efficient. Do not miss this place!

Nice place to have conversation and do business. Quiet, good hospitality and nice pours.

I had the best schnitzel of my life here! The food was phenomenal and service wonderful!

Amazing first meal in Dublin. Found this on Eater had been eagerly anticipating the oxtail bone marrow parker house roll. It was so good. The risotto was my wife's favorite. Schnitzel was crazy good as was the Irish cheddar "carbonara." This should be on your must visit list.

Spitalfields is food heaven. Easily the best meal I had on a twelve-day trip to Ireland and the UK, and one of my most memorable meals of 2022. The Parker House roll, Cais Na Tire fondue, and cock-a-leekie pie were standouts. Staff were all very friendly and professional.

Spitalfields is a delightful, clean, bright restaurant and pub near Liberty Market and Guinness Storehouse in Dublin. Loved the slow roasted duck, lentils and truffle mashed, and the Swiss Roll for dessert was literally the icing on the cake. Opened in late 2019, in a 100 year old building with improvements that look brand new. Very friendly staff. Restaurant is owned by the same folks who own the popular The Pig's Ear.
