About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Charming

Welcome to our Home, Gallagher’s Boxty House.

A family owned restaurant that celebrates Traditional Irish Cuisine and Culture with a Modern twist.

We were proudly making Boxty for the last 36 years in the heart of Dublin's Cultural quarters, Temple Bar.

The Boxty recipes date back to 17th-18th century Ireland. Award winning chef Padraic Óg Gallagher reimagined the dishes and confidently recreated these classics in a 21st century setting without forgetting our humble past.

The way they want to elevate your experience and how they want to explain Boxty to tourists. I was 45 mins early for booking and they still accommodated. I had the fried pickles, tender stem broccoli (in sweet chilli) and the mixed beans pie. I never had fried pickles and oh boy I will demand such things again in the future. Why does no one think of these things? So simple yet so exquisite. The broccoli was divine. And I thought I would miss out on the experience of Irish stew but the mixed beans pie more than compensated. It was a great soft texture and flavoursome. Lilas was immense! He sets the standard for exemplar customer service.
