El Celler - Dublin

I've traveled all around the world and ate countless variations on Spanish cuisine. I cannot remember the last time I ate so well. The place is cozy, tranquil and welcoming. The waitress is very friendly and a joy to talk to. She really cares about the customers. The food is amazing. We came two nights in a row to try the different plates they were offering. What a treat!

Pleasurable tapas experience. Asked for recommendations and they didn't disappoint-including the house wine. Staff were lovely too.

Great little Spanish small-plate tapas (would recommend ordering 2 dishes per person and seeing if that’s enough). Well-chosen wine list at good prices. Friendly staff, friendly atmosphere. Decent date night venue.

We were 6 ladies on our first visit to el celler, great food and lovely wine. The service was excellent but we did order too much and had to cancel two tapas, which they did no problem. It was recommended that we order 2 each to start we, but we had ordered 3. We had lovely tortilla, calamari, padron pepper, cod and chicken croquettes, prawns,one meat and one cheese platter, ribs and to finish a portion of churros. All delicious. Also a lovely cosy space with a wood burning stove. The entrance into the market was lit by lanterns which was lovely . We will be back

Visited elcellerdublin last night in Blackrock market. Having lived and worked in Spain I have a high expectation of tapas/pinxto and am so often let down in Ireland. El Celler did not disappoint. The ambiance is just incredible, stone walls, stove lit, warm candles. Then there's the food...And the wine! The wine list is just exquisite. We started with a glass of Cava which was so crisp and delicious and then I went on to Albarino. Definitely will try the Rueda next time. I can see how you'd easily loose hours in here sampling from the wine list and food pairing while chatting with the friendly staff. We had Pan y salsa (and they even had gluten free bread for me), traditional Galician fried peppers, gambas in garlic and chilli (the oil marinade was insane, salivating thinking about it), charcuterie board with a tasty mix of lomo, chorizo, saussisons and seranno. To finish we had a Crema Catalana to share...All in all the best date night we've had in a long time, up there with the culinary heights experienced in the streets of San Sebastian. A must visit.
